In boxing, which started operating in 1913, Fenerbahçe maintains the title of the team that has won the most championships in Turkey as of the 2022-23 season. Fenerbahçe boxers, who trained in the ring at the yellow-navy club's premises in Kuşdili during the Occupation of Istanbul between 1919-1923, won important successes in the competitions held in Taksim against the athletes of the occupation forces. Fenerbahçe also provided 2 boxers to the 5-person Turkish national team, which was first established in November 1928 and competed in Moscow and Baku. Fenerbahçe, which has been operating as a team since 1947, has held the most distinguished place with the 18 championships it won in the Turkish Inter-Club Boxing Championship, which was organized in 1965. The yellow-navy team maintains its leading position with 41 championships it won in the Istanbul Boxing Championship. The women's team, which has been active since 1997, has also maintained its superiority since 2007. Atagün Yalçınkaya, who won the silver medal in the 2004 Summer Olympics, Yakup Kılıç, who won the bronze medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics, World Champions Mustafa Genç and Gülsüm Tatar, European Champions Nurhan Süleymanoğlu, Ramazan Palyani, Agasi Ağagüloğlu, Gülsüm Tatar and Sümeyra Kaya are Turkish boxers who have played for the Fenerbahçe Boxing Team.
