Darren Stanley
Coach
Darren ‘Stan’ Stanley has been an integral part of the coaching and committee set up for SCABC for the past 8 years.
Stan is a popular coach amongst all the members due to his positivity and willingness to help all levels of boxers regardless of their ability, but most of all because he coaches with a smile on his face.
Stan is an experienced combat sports participant still regularly training with the police boxing class and dipping into live drills across all sessions.
A keen sportsman from a young age Stan competed in football, thai boxing and athletics winning the Cheshire Schools Javelin Championship aged 14.
Stan went on to specialise in thai boxing, training out of Ronnie Green’s popular Manchester Gym and remaining unbeaten in competitive fights.
Stan’s favourite boxer is Mike Tyson, which becomes clear when you see him in body sparring drills, where he displays great technique in identifying opportunities to land clean shots. He is very quick to pass this knowledge on to the young fighters he is coaching.
Stan’s motivation for joining SCABC back in 2017, was to give back to all comers to boxing and help develop young people regardless of their backgrounds and ability.
Stan is a class act in and out of the club and SCABC are extremely fortunate to have him as a volunteer.
