Knockout London: IWD 2025 Boxing & Q&A with Ori

Join us for a special International Womens Day 2025 session at the Sobell Leisure Centre, led by professional boxer Oriance Lungu, fresh from her third pro fight! This pay-what-you-can event is open to all FLINTA (women, non-binary, and trans people) in the LGBTQ+ community.

Well kick things off with a 30-minute Q&A with Ori, diving into her journey in boxing and the challenges and triumphs of being a queer woman in the sport. Then, well jump into a fun and inclusive non-contact boxing session, co-led by Ori and coach Carla.

After class we will go to a nearby cafe so we can chat and socialise.

We will meet in the boxing gym on the 1st floor of the Sobell Leisure Centre (no need to pay at reception, just tell them you are there for Knockout).

Changing rooms at gendered M/F and trans-inclusive. In addition, there are 3 completely separate private shower/changing rooms in the Sobell; these are usually locked, but you are able to request a radar key from reception to use them.

Please arrive at 9:15am to get changed and to wrap your hands.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
