Blessing Sibanda Boxer
I’m a Sports Marketing student at Leeds Beckett and a competitive amateur boxer preparing for the national championships in September.
I’m one of the most regularly featured boxers on the Leeds Met Boxing (LMB) Instagram page – which is very active with nearly 1.5k engaged followers, especially during the start of the academic year when new students joining the team and community.
I’m reaching out to connect with local businesses that might be interested in supporting and collaborating with me on this journey. I can offer brand visibility through both my training journey and the wider student sports community.
In September I will be competing at the national championships which will take me to events around the country and will continue competing in different events throughout the rest of the season.
Target Audience
My audience includes a large proportion of university students and young professionals, who are highly social and engaged on social medai platforms. They also include sports enthusiasts, competitors and people into health, fitness and wellbeing. Demographic can range from 16-30 and would be majority male but also a reasonable amount of females.
For local shows and tournaments audience can vary widely as Males,as often they would be other competitors family/friends (or competitors themselves).
Key Dates and Timings
Dates are to be confirmed for the national championships in September, but this will last for the season (September to June) which includes national tournaments in September, October, January, March, April and June. I will also take part in many shows around those tournaments as well so it is expected to be a very active season
Specific Opportunity Details
As an active boxer I take bouts in tournaments and competitions all over the country (Manchester, Portsmouth & Rotherham just to name a few). I’m based in Leeds so I most regularly fight inside West Yorkshire. I’m one of the most featured athletes on the Leeds Beckett Boxing team social media pages — an active sports community with nearly 1.5k engaged followers, especially popular during the university’s Freshers period. Opportunities include brand visibility through the University boxing team and personal social media, content collaborations, kit branding, and local community engagement. With the sport’s strong grassroots following and my active role within both Leeds boxing and university sport, partners have a great chance to align with an authentic story and reach an engaged growing audience.

Investment
There is no fixed price I’m looking for partners who can help support my journey by contributing toward key expenses like training, travel, nutrition, and gear. I
’m very flexible on how this can work — whether it’s ongoing support, a one-time contribution, or even providing equipment or services. The main goal is to build a genuine partnership where we can bring value to each other through the journey
If it is a monthly support, it can range from £80 – £150 (gear wouldn’t apply for monthly)
One time contribution would depend on what support is provided.
