Switch Hitters - Keighley

07/10/2026

3 years ago today, Nico Earwaker made his debut against Arron Wales Courtney Elliott on WFPROMOTIONS BOXING EVENTS in Wakefield... We had no gym, no 'club', just running PT's and occasional sparring sessions from my work unit and Nico went from no intentions of fighting, to 'ill just have 1' 👀

Fast forward 3 years and many fights later, we have Nico signed and contracted to one of the biggest bare knuckle promotions in the world, BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, fighting at the O2 twice this year! We have a solid gym, a solid club which turns 2 years old on the 14th of this month and an incredible fight team with 13 titles won, fights on some of the biggest platforms in the country and a great reputation on the circuit 🥊

Did I ever expect things to go this way? Not a chance... Is it stressful as f**k, hard work and do I ever question why i bother? Yes, all the time... Would I change anything? Not in the slightest 😎

2 years old for this 'club' next week, we're only just getting started! 🚀

What I see myself as, vs what everyone else see's me as 👀 😂

When you own/run a gym, that's not all you do you know, you overnight become multiple other things, you now have multiple jobs.... 😂

📢 ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS/PARENTS 📢

I've recently been a bit slack with our own rules, but nows the time to let you all know I'm putting my foot back down, specifically for rule number 1...

NO OUTDOOR SHOES ON THE MATS AT ANYTIME

Over recent months, the mats are deteriorating at a fast rate and this is one of the reasons why. Dirty trainers with stones and what not are being used, we've even picked up small shards of glass too which is a safety hazard for anyone going barefoot along with the MMA guys who train here.

So from now on, this rule is back in full force, I don't care who you are...

THE ONLY THINGS ALLOWED 👇

BOXING BOOTS
SOCKS/BAREFOOT
INDOOR TRAINERS

And by indoor trainers, I'm stating the obvious when I say, these are shoes for indoor use only, can be whatever you want, as long as they are not worn outdoors.

This may seem a bit over the top, but the mats are expensive and not something that can easily just be replaced, let's all respect the gym and respect the rules of the gym, which I've added to this post, so make sure you give them a read and show them to your kids if applicable 🥊
