An Important Message from Lloydminster boxing club:
After years of punches thrown, lessons learned, and memories made—we're announcing that May 9 will be the last class that the Lloydminster Boxing Club operates from its current location.
This gym has always been more than a place to train. It’s been a space where athletes discovered discipline, built confidence, and formed lifelong bonds. Together, we’ve built something that reached far beyond the walls of our gym.
Our fighters have competed in Ireland, Mexico, the USA, and all across Canada—and brought home championships from each. Every step, every match, and every moment has carried the name of Lloydminster with pride.
As we look toward the future, we know this: our boxers deserve the absolute best.
And to give them that, our leadership and coaching team must be mentally and emotionally at their strongest. Stepping back from the gym now ensures that when we return, we’ll be fully ready to lead with the energy, focus, and care our athletes deserve.
This isn’t goodbye—it’s just the start of something new.
Here’s what’s next:
-
Equipment will be loaned out to current members (heavy bags, mitts, etc.) to continue training
-
Private monthly training plans will be available
-
Biweekly training sessions will be held at rotating locations
-
Weekly sessions in Hillmond (just a short drive from Lloydminster)
-
Affordable pricing, in line with past group training rates
-
We will be keeping athlete insurance and competitive with Boxing Canada, therefore we will still be attending competitions
If you have pre-paid for May & June, reach out to Austin to discuss refund or private training.
We’re still here. We’re still committed.
And we’re not done.
We’ll be back—stronger, smarter, and ready for the next round.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
~Austin & Devon Burgess

The Lloydminster Boxing Club is Lloydminster's premier spot to learn the sweet science. We are a no-bullshit club and many of our members would happily call our gym their second home.

Our adults include national-level boxers, and many of our athletes are set to represent our city on the provincial, national, and international level in the future.

HISTORY OF LLOYD BOXING
MEET THE Coaches


Coach Austin Burgess
Austin took on the role of Head Coach during the challenging period of the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing with him a deep legacy of knowledge passed down from his father, as well as valuable insights from coaching mentors across Alberta and Saskatchewan.
With extensive experience as both a competitor and coach, Austin has built a reputation for his expertise and commitment to developing top-tier talent.
His most notable achievement came during the 2022-2023 season, where he led his youth teams to become a dominant force in Western Canada. Under his guidance, six boxers completed the season undefeated, showcasing their skill and discipline. Austin also made history by coaching Lloydminster’s first National Medalist in nearly a quarter-century, marking a significant milestone for the local boxing community and solidifying his legacy as a dedicated coach and mentor.
Coach Devon Burgess
Devon and his brother first laced up their gloves at just 11 years old, training under the legendary Gordon "Butch" Blanchard at the original Lloydminster Boxing Club—a legacy that continues to shape the gym's foundation today.
Devon’s dedication to boxing saw him rise through the ranks, claiming victories in numerous tournaments and competing on national and international stages. As a core member of the prestigious "Sask First" team, he traveled coast to coast with over 120 bouts to his name, proudly representing Lloydminster and embodying the grit and determination he now instills in his athletes.
In 2016, Devon reignited the Lloydminster Boxing Club with a clear purpose: to build champions both in the ring and in life—empowering boxers to carry those values far beyond the ropes. Since that time, Devon has been the core of our high-performance team, and has coached many boxers to the national level.
