Jones Boxing Gym was founded in 2024. With humble beginnings running just two classes a week out of Boars Martial Arts. As interest quickly grew, an exciting opportunity arose to move further south to Noarlunga, allowing the gym to establish its own space and identity. Since then, Jones Boxing Gym has gone from strength to strength, building a strong, supportive community and developing a competitive fight team. What started as a small local class has evolved into a dedicated training environment where people of all levels come together to learn, improve, and push their limits.
HEAD COACH - JESSE JONES
Jesse Jones, Head Coach & Founder of Jones Boxing Gym, brings years of experience, passion, and dedication to the sport of boxing. His journey began at just 12 years old in Whyalla, where he first stepped into the world of Muay Thai. While waiting for more Muay Thai competitions, Jesse began competing in boxing to stay active, and quickly discovered a love for the sport that would shape his future.
From that point on, boxing became his focus. Jesse built a strong amateur career, competing regularly and developing his skills through consistent hard work and discipline. His commitment to the sport has recently seen him make the transition into the professional ranks.
Alongside his own fighting career, Jesse began coaching at Boars Martial Arts, where he developed a passion for helping others grow in confidence, skill, and mindset through boxing. His dedication to his athletes and community eventually led to the opportunity to open his own facility, Jones Boxing Gym.
COACH PAUL
Paul Murphy, Coach at Jones Boxing Gym, has been a key part of the team from day one. He was there at the very first Boars Boxing session and has played a big role in helping grow the club into what it is today.
Since the transition to Jones Boxing Gym, Paul has built up solid amateur experience of his own while continuing to give back to the gym. He is always around, whether it’s helping coach sessions, supporting fighters, or encouraging members to push themselves. He also plays a big role in working with the fight team, helping prepare and support athletes for competition.
A reliable and respected presence in the gym, Paul consistently steps up whenever needed. When Jesse isn’t around, Coach Paul is always there to step in and lead from the front.
