Our people
Empire Fighting Chance is proud to have built a team who are dedicated to transforming the lives of young people affected by inequality through the power of boxing.
Jamie Sanigar, our Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, grew up just streets away from our boxing gym in inner city Bristol. He spent 20 years in the boxing industry, working alongside his father to run the renowned Bristol Boxing Gym. He's managed a stable of professional fighters, guiding them from their debuts to World Champions.
Martin Bisp, our Executive Director for Global Partnerships and Impact, co-founded Empire Fighting Chance with Jamie in 2006. Martin leads the development of our international work as in recent years, a number of countries have approached us seeking to adopt and adapt our psychologically informed boxing programmes.
Our Board of Trustees brings a wealth of expertise to our charity. They manage our charity's resources responsibly and ensure that we are kept accountable.
Our team of coaches, therapists, and operational staff are driven by the belief that all young people deserve a chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Meet the team below.
Our Charity Ambassadors have partnered with us because they share a passion for supporting the most vulnerable in our society, and want to use their influence to help us effect change.
