About Coach Bobby Mayne

Bobby Mayne brings over four decades of experience to the sport of boxing, with a career spanning competition, coaching, officiating, and authorship. Since first lacing up the gloves in 1981 as a 14-year-old junior boxer, Bobby has dedicated his life to mastering and teaching the Sweet Science.

As a competitive boxer, Bobby fought in 34 amateur bouts across Australia, England, and Northern Ireland, representing the Australian Army in Tri-Services tournaments. His time abroad allowed him to train under renowned coaches, gaining deep insights into diverse boxing styles and strategies.

Upon returning to Australia in the early 1990s, Bobby quickly became a sought-after boxing instructor. He developed training systems for martial arts and combat sports gyms, producing State, National, and International champions in boxing, Muay Thai, and MMA. His knowledge and adaptable approach made him a respected figure in both competitive and fitness boxing circles.

In 2005, Bobby was appointed as a Professional Boxing Judge by the Western Australian Government’s Combat Sports Commission, officiating over 35 professional bouts, including a world title fight in Hong Kong. This experience enhanced his technical understanding of scoring criteria, which he now uses to train fighters to control and win rounds decisively.

Bobby is also the author of the highly regarded boxing manual, The Art of Boxing: Your Guide to the Sweet Science (2009). The book has become a trusted resource for coaches and athletes, drawing on his extensive experience in the ring and in the corner.

As founder and head coach of Boxrite Boxing Club, a registered amateur and professional club under Boxing WA and the Combat Sports Commission, Bobby has trained and developed numerous fighters who have gone on to succeed on both domestic and international stages.
