Bodypunch Boxing Gym
The Hussein brothers first started boxing training in 1997 at the Bankstown PCYC. They were there for about five years and had a solid crew of around 30 amateur boxers training and fighting regularly.
They then moved to the “Team Fenech” Gym in Marrickville from 2002-2004 where Billy worked as assistant trainer to Jeff Fenech and as the head trainer of the gym.
The brothers opened their first gym at Hoxton Park/Liverpool in 2004-2005 before heading to Lidcombe in 2005 to open the first true incarnation of what is now Bodypunch Boxing Gym.
In 2008 Bodypunch Boxing Gym moved to Regents Park.
In early 2011 the gym relocated to its present location of Lakemba.
