Josh Nelson, Boxing Coach

Off the Ropes is proud to announce the incredible progress of our newest team member, Josh.

With a background as both a competitive amateur and professional boxer, Josh brings not only sporting excellence but also the powerful perspective of someone who has managed a long-term health condition. This unique blend of experience allows him to truly connect with and inspire the people we support.

Since joining OTR, Josh has earned his Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification—a milestone we’re delighted to have supported. He’s already putting his skills into action, working with our inpatient in-reach team and leading weekly community groups. Josh’s journey embodies what Off the Ropes is all about: resilience, achievement, and using lived experience to help others thrive.
