Billy Schwer spent 20 years at the top of one of the world’s toughest sports—boxing.

Over his career, he fought 138 times and won several titles at both amateur and professional levels, including the British, Commonwealth, European, and IBO World Championships. Known for his sharp skills, grit, and style in the ring, Billy became one of Britain’s most admired fighters, building a huge fan base. His engaging personality and quick wit also made him popular with other boxers, promoters, and the media. In 2001, he reached the peak of his career by becoming the IBO World Champion.

After retiring, he fell into a depression, struggling to find a new identity outside the boxing world, surviving divorce and even bankruptcy, Billy was determined to bounce back and took on a new challenge—becoming a professional speaker and personal performance coach. Learning from experts like Werner Erhard, Eckhart Tolle, Dr Joe Dispenza, and Gabor Maté, Billy now uses his boxing experience to teach others about resilience, courage, and teamwork.

With advanced training in therapy-based coaching, Billy Schwer also gives back by volunteering as a Samaritan, helping those in crisis. He’s on a mission to inspire business leaders and their teams to live with passion, power, and purpose, helping them win in all areas of life.
