A dynamic new force in the boxing arena
Twelve years in the sport of boxing with 9 years of those as a manager, and Steve Goodwin has a reputation as the one of premier boxing Managers in the country. Firmly established in the Financial Advisory sector, his passion for the sport aligned to his sound business and strategic sense has seen Steve position himself at the forefront of British boxing. His guidance of over 70 boxers at myriad levels has seen the rapid expansion of his stable of fighters. Each boxer is an individual, holding their own aspirations in the sport. Area level, national titles or to make their mark on the world stage; Steve Goodwin has handled them all. His honest approach with each fighter marks him out as something special. It is an uniquely personable approach, an understanding that not all boxers aim for a world title and not all are content once they are crowned an Area champion. Nearly all shows that Steve is involved in involve major titles, eliminators or high profile fights, each a result of fastidious planning and engagement with those boxers involved.
46 Champions have already been achieved under the Goodwin management banner:
1 World Champion (Nicola Adams)
1 IBO Inter-Contental Champion (Lauren Parker)
1 WBA International Champion (Dereck Chisora)
1 British Champion (Frank Buglioni)

Whether you are an amateur looking to turn over, someone with experience from the white collar scene looking to make a mark as a professional or an established boxer looking to enhance or rejuvenate your career, Steve has proven time and again that he has the capability to progress a career at and through all levels. His relationship with promoters at all levels mean that he is able to provide opportunities that aren't available with all managers. These relationships often see Steve's fighters appear on high profile shows both nationally and internationally, his boxers regularly being part of large Matchroom Promotions shows with Eddie Hearn as well as Frank Warren promoted events. Steve has even been able to secure a place for one of his stable of boxers on the undercard of a Wladimir Klitschko world heavyweight title fight at the world famous Madison Square Gardens. It marks Steve out as a man that can open doors and provide opportunity in the boxing world. When David Haye made his ring return in January 2016 at the O2 in London, it was Steve that he turned to when looking to fill the high profile slots on the undercard. It provided an elevated platform in front of a sold out crowd for his boxers to reach a new audience. It is these opportunities that see fighters approach Steve and never the other way around.
Why does a boxer need management? A boxer can train alone, make sacrifices and work with their trainer to fine tune their in-ring skills. But a Manager can guide them, plot a career path and ensure that the individual maximises their own brand. Steve Goodwin has been instrumental in handling the growth of stars, taking on debutants through to champions and always working with the best intention of the boxer he represents. There is financial investment; press conferences, media days, filmed head-to-head interviews as well as the revolution of York Hall to become the premium small hall fight venue when Goodwin Boxing put on an event.
Boxers who have worked under Steve's management often praise his ability to handle their careers both in and out of the ring. A firm understanding of the modern media age, highlighted through engagement with press outlets and boxing fans alike over social media, ensure that boxers receive first class support from assistance in ticket selling through to the professional ring walks on fight night.
'We Never Stop' is the motto and standard by which Steve Goodwin holds both himself and the team around him. It is part of what has made him so successful, a determination and stubbornness to ensure that those he manages receive the best possibilities in the market. Steve Goodwin is not just an elite boxing manager able to move his boxers through the ranks, he is a brand that is established through hard work, dedication and a personable approach to all involved in the sport.
