Andy Wallace

Andy Wallace’s earliest memory of boxing was when he started training at the age of 5 under his father and uncle who were both boxing trainers. He immediately fell in love with the sport and dedicated all his time and effort in improving his game. This ultimately led to him competing at Olympic level for the England squad where his stable mates included the likes of David Haye, Carl Froch, and Audley Harrison who are all close friends of Andy’s.

Andy worked hard to win a gold medal for England in the Multi-Nations tournament which led to him turning professional. Andy also trained with the legendary boxing trainer Angelo Dundee in the build up to his professional debut, Dundee is well known for his work with Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Sugar Ray Leonard. “One of the highlights of my career, second to winning the gold medal for England, was my professional debut where I won unanimously in the USA against their own fighter. There was immense pressure as I was a British fighter fighting one of there own, but I enjoyed the challenge and was grateful to work with such a legendary trainer which helped me prepare for this incredible test”.

Andy has had over 60 Amateur fights and 10 professional fights with a record of 9-0 with 1 draw. He now concentrates on training and passing on his knowledge to people who wish to learn and excel in the art of boxing. “I love coaching and coming up with unique training routines for my clients, nothing can beat the satisfaction gained from seeing the transformation of a raw individual improve there health and gain so much confidence, I can hardly recognize some of my clients from when they first started!”

Andy is the longest serving coach at The Real Fight Club, over 10 years, preparing clients for charity boxing events or just those who wish to improve their fitness. He trains his younger brother who is currently in the England boxing squad and will hopefully compete for the 2012 Olympics here in London. Andy has also done voluntary work teaching underprivileged children, boxing techniques and conditioning as a creative and constructive output.
