History
There is a long history of boxing in Navan and at times there were more than one club in the town. Sometime around 1990 the last club closed down and for a number of years there was no boxing in the town.
The present club was founded in 1999 as a result of a request from young people in the town that a boxing club be formed. In the intervening years the club has won a number of Provincial and National titles. The club is now well established and is proud of it record and look forward to a bright future
