Important Location Update for Stockyards Boxing Gym Toronto
Stockyard Boxing is permanently located in the George Bell Arena, a stone’s throw from the intersection of St. Clair and Runnymede. However, the arena is currently undergoing renovations and has moved to a temporary location at 4231 Dundas Street West. The gym plans to return to George Bell Arena once renovations are complete in September 2026. We apologize for the inconvenience.
