Jerusalem Olympic Boxing
Club Maccabi
About the Club
Since its establishment in 1981, the Jerusalem Boxing Club has been home to over two thousand athletes. It is where Shlomo Niyazov, an Olympic participant in Mexico, and Aaron Yakovshvili, a member of Israel's national team at the Seoul Olympics, began their boxing journeys. Between 2003 and 2005, our boxers proudly represented the club at world championships. Led by Gershon Luxembourg—a former boxing champion of Israel and the former USSR—the club is renowned for its personalized approach to every participant.
