Pretoria's Favourite Boxing Gym

At the heart of CIT Boxing is a strong community. Our members train hard, respect each other, and share in the journey—whether that journey is about fitness, competition, or simply the love of boxing.

Built For Boxers By Boxers

CIT Boxing was founded by UFC Middleweight Champion Dricus du Plessis and professional boxer SD Pypers. Their shared vision was simple: to create a gym where fighters of all levels could train under the same roof with the same high standards.
