  • Charles Joseph Atkinson is a British former boxer, fight promoter, manager, agent and trainer/coach. He has coached and trained boxers who have won 10 professional world titles, including 7 by the WBC, and has been involved in more than 50 world title fights in five continents. None of his boxers had more than 10 professional fights before winning their titles. Atkinson started boxing in Liverpool at the age of 14 in Liverpool Catholic schools competition, progressing to win a Northern Counties open championship at 15, and the following year reaching the National Youth finals at The Royal Albert Hall, losing in the semi-final. Following the loss, his amateur boxing club–the St Teresa's Amateur Club–closed down. Atkinson and his father, Charles Atkinson Sr. B.E.M., moved to Kirkby in 1961, where Atkinson Sr. founded the Kirkby ABC., a club which trained future world champion John Conteh and British super-lightweight champion Joey Singleton, both of whom won amateur national championships titles for the club. Following a two-year professional career in Germany with fights in Hamburg, Cologne, and Frankfurt as well as Britain, Atkinson served four years in the Southport and Liverpool City police forces before embarking on a business career. Partnering with his brother Mike and backed by his father's fighters, he decided to go into boxing management and promotion in Liverpool in 1973. This culminated in eight years of promotions at Liverpool Stadium. During his period in British professional boxing, Atkinson had held licenses issued by the British Boxing Board of Control as a boxer, trainer second, agent, promoter, and manager, and in 1974 had his first managerial success. Joey Singleton, trained by Atkinson Sr., won the British super-lightweight title in only his eighth professional fight, scoring a 15-round points win over Pat McCormack at Liverpool Stadium on an Atkinson Promotion.
