Meet the Founder

Antony Neilson, CEO and Founder of New Era Boxing, comes from a proud boxing family in the UK.

His father, Eddie Neilson, fought both Joe Bugner and Frank Bruno in the 1980s, giving Antony an early introduction to the world of boxing and the discipline, respect and excitement that surrounds the sport.

Antony grew up around boxing from a young age before later building one of the UK’s largest white-collar boxing companies alongside his brother in the early 2000s. His passion and experience eventually led him to become a British Boxing Board of Control professional boxing promoter in 2014.

During his time in the UK, Antony promoted and hosted a wide range of boxing events, including WBC, IBO and IBF title shows, as well as respected local small-hall boxing nights. After moving to Spain in late 2018, he stepped back from the promotional side of the sport to focus on business and life in Marbella.

In 2026, Antony returned to his passion with the launch of New Era Boxing.

With decades of experience in boxing, promotion, event production and business, Antony is now bringing a new standard of boxing entertainment to Spain — starting in his home town of Marbella on the Costa del Sol.

New Era Boxing has been created to deliver premium fight nights that combine professional boxing, VIP hospitality, live entertainment and unforgettable event experiences.
