Manager, Trainer and Coach Jon Pegg with a large help from his son Joe Pegg have started a new Facebook page called J.P Management. As the Column has interviewed and reported on hundreds of Jon Pegg's fighters we thought it only right to help promote the page to the Birmingham Boxing Column Family. Joe Pegg who is now a coach at Esatside gym and has his Seconds licence is doing a great job of compiling facts and figures about the fighters in their stable.
Below is the introduction to the page which details everything Jon and Joe are looking to prompt on their new page.
Welcome to JP Management.
In 2024 we are looking to extend our stable of boxers, from amateurs turning over to the pro ranks up to experienced fighters looking for a new journey.
As a gym, we have looked after lads who have had 300 fights on the road, right up to world champions and every other title in between.
With training facilities at our very own renowned Eastside gym, we also work with other successful coaches all over the country.
Whether it’s management, promotional or the coaching side you are after we can cater to every need for a professional fighter.
Please get in touch with any questions you have about what we can do for you and your boxing career.

Dexter’s Thoughts
The J, P Management Page on Facebook is starting to take shape and will be an invaluable insight into some of the Midlands top boxers who Jon Pegg has been involved with over his many years as a coach, trainer and manager. His son Joe is doing a great job and even though the page is in its infancy I can already see it will be a great read. The page has hit the ground running and the first Bio on the page is one of Birmingham's finest 'The Savage' Sam Eggington. Eggington is a great way to start the page with his five best wins, his awards, accolades and facts on the boxer who has had a fantastic twelve-year career so far.
J.P Management's page is looking good and the Column will be following and using their Bios to promote boxing in Birmingham and the Black Country. Please give the page a like and a share.
