Champion Boxer Conah Walker Inspires Students At Stockport Academy

We welcomed professional boxer Conah Walker for an inspiring visit, where he shared his journey to success and motivated students to pursue their goals.

Conah, a former WBA International Silver Welterweight Champion, started the day with a Q&A session in the main hall. Students from all year groups had the chance to ask him about his career, training regimen, and the mindset needed to compete at the highest level.

During lunchtime, Conah posed for photos with students, proudly displaying his championship belts. He then led breakout sessions, offering smaller groups valuable advice on discipline, mental toughness, and the mentality required to achieve success in professional sport.

The day concluded with an exclusive boxing training session for students who attend Stockport Academy’s boxing co-curricular club. Under Conah’s guidance, they worked on technique, footwork, and fitness—gaining first-hand experience of what it takes to perform in the ring.

Mr. Bramley, who organised the visit, said: "It was an honour to have Conah visit our school. He is a fantastic role model, and our students were truly inspired by his journey and dedication to his sport."
