Meet Our Dedicated Coaches & Trainers
Bill Williams
Former Boxer, Gym Co-Owner, Coach & Trainer
Bill began boxing at an early age, and his fighting career spanned from 1967-1974. But his passion for the ring has never been knocked out. Inducted into the Niagara Boxing Legends and the Brantford and Area Sports Hall of Recognition, Bill’s career highlights include winning a senior provincial championship (Kitchener) and earning the title Boxer of the Year in 1971.
After starting a boxing club at the Boys and Girls Club in Brantford and establishing the Black Eye Boxing Club, Bill opened the doors to Bell City Boxing in 2017 and recently expanded the gym to nearly double the amount of space available to train.
Today, Bill coaches boxers of all sizes, ages, and abilities. He wants to give kids a place to go, pros and up-and-comers a home to train, and Parkinson’s patients a healthy, hopeful community to join.
Jack Blasdell
Gym Co-owner, Coach & Trainer
Jack decided to become a trainer for one very important reason: his daughter, Cher. Jack trained Cher until she was on the verge of becoming a professional boxer, and they made the decision to join and eventually co-own Bell City Boxing with Bill.
No stranger to adversity, Jack inspires boxers young, amateur, and pro to get back up after being knocked down in the ring or life. He is a certified Rock Steady boxing coach.
