Ross Woolgrove
LICENSED PROFESSIONAL BOXING COACH, MANAGER, AND CONSULTANT
I’m proud to be based in Cyprus while working across the international professional boxing scene 🇨🇾🥊
As a professional boxing coach and manager licensed across multiple countries, I’m passionate about developing fighters, delivering elite training environments, and helping athletes perform at the highest level.
Alongside coaching and managing fighters globally, I’m committed to supporting boxing growth on the island, sponsoring local gyms, sharing knowledge, and creating opportunities that connect Cyprus boxing with the wider international fight world.
I consistently share my skills and experience with local coaches to help them grow, giving my time freely and often inviting them to train alongside me. For me, helping coaches develop is just as important as developing fighters, because that’s how the island’s boxing level continues to rise.
I’m also proud to bring international athletes to train in Cyprus, helping showcase the island as a growing destination for high-performance combat sports training and camps.
The mission is simple, raise standards, build opportunities, and keep pushing boxing forward, locally and globally.

Cyprus has become a popular location for boxers to train, both leading up to fights and afterwards with their families, due to Ross’s training packages. The island offers ideal conditions for training camps and is a great place to relax and decompress. Ross has already hosted several training camps for visiting boxers, with more planned for August and November. Footage of the training around Paphos has gained a lot of social media attention, attracting some prominent boxers to choose Cyprus over Spain for their training needs.
