Steve Broughton is the boxing trainer for Derek Chisora. He could beat you and sue you if you tried to mess with him!
Chisora is one of the best heavyweight boxers as of 2022. The 38 years old has a knockout-to-win percentage of 70%, the 2006 ABA super-heavyweight title, and career stats of 33-23-12 (win-loss-draw) under his name. While his achievements are apparent, most people don't recognize the team who rigorously works alongside the boxer to make everything possible.
One such member of Derek's team is trainer Steve Broughton. A freelance coach at SB Boxing, he has been training Derek to become a beast in the ring for the past three years.
Broughton is the prime example of "Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise."
Who is Steve Broughton? Meet Derek Chisora Trainer
Steve Broughton is the trainer for British professional boxer Derek Chisora.
Broughton got professionally affiliated with Derek's team in 2019. His signing was announced before Chisora's match with Olympic bronze-medalist David Price in the same year. Nonetheless, the trainer's entrance did not happen out of the blue.
Apparently, Chisora had frequently been working with Steve on a need-to-know basis. The former National Champion eventually approached Broughton to join him as a training pal, and the latter found no grounds to reject the offer. This new union was further solidified as Chisora knocked out Price in The O2 Arena.
Steve began his career as a boxing coach in 2009. Though he started as a freelance trainer, he later collaborated with companies like Mcguigans gym limited and Hayemaker boxing limited. Furthermore, he broadened his expertise as head of strength, conditioning, and nutrition coach.
The BBBofC pro boxing trainer finally got his career breakthrough as a trainer for Chisora. Broughton said about his job with Boxing News in 2019, "Derek could have worked with anyone he wanted to." He further added, "It's a privilege for me, it's a good opportunity for me, and I'm grateful, and I'm going to take it all in and do my best."
What is Steve Broughton's Salary? Derek Chisora Trainer Net Worth In 2022
Boxing has become one of the most lucrative sports in the world. Similarly, boxing coaches earn a fair share of their base salary. For example, Glassdoor estimates that trainers in the USA can make an average of $49,450 per year. Besides this, some also generate income as a certain percentage of clients' matches.
Steve and Derek have not released the clauses of their contract, but it is no secret that the trainer cashes a hefty paycheque. In fact, Derek is one of the highest earnings boxers who makes millions in Pay Per View (PPV) alone. For instance, the boxer made a guaranteed sum of USD 2 million in PPV after his fight with Price.
In 2020, the number further rose to new heights. Derek amassed a whopping $4.4 million PPV following his match against Oleksandr Usyk. Similarly, he earned USD 1 million in 2021 in the David Haye fight. With his millions in income, we are doubtless that the boxer generously pays his trainer.
However, Derek Chisora has not unfolded Steve Broughton or his trainers' net worth in 2022.
Besides Chisora, Broughton has diversified his client portfolio. He is also employed at The Foundry as a training coach. He has experience as an L4 PT, Poliquin Level 1, and Precision Nutrition. Moreover, the trainer strives with the Mantra, "Stay Hard!" in The Foundry.
Broughton can work as an attorney if he wants. He possesses a bachelor's degree in law from Oxford Brookes University (2005-2008).

Many of Steve's fans are interested to know when Steve Broughton will debut in his boxing career. It is a usual query as he has been training with boxers for a while and knows everything about the game. However, we don't think it is happening anytime soon. The coach seems satisfied with his current role.
In 2022, Steve and Derek reaped the hard work as Derek won his fight against Kubrat Pulev, winning him the vacant WBA International heavyweight title. This was a relief as Chisora suffered three consecutive losses in the past three matches.
Nonetheless, we still have to witness what the duo has to offer in the future. It will be a sight to see for boxing fans.
