Weightlifting career
Boxell represented Great Britain in the 1984 Summer Olympics, 1988 Summer Olympics and 1992 Summer Olympics.{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/la/geoffrey-laws-1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418040746/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/la/geoffrey-laws-1.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2020-04-18|title=Olympic Profile|website=Sports Reference}}
He represented England and won a gold medal in the 90 kg middle-heavyweight division, at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland.{{cite web|url=https://teamengland.org/commonwealth-games-history/edinburgh-1986/athletes|title=1986 Athletes|website=Team England}} Four years later he represented England and won three silver medals in the 90 kg middle-heavyweight division, at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand. The three medals were won during an unusual period when three medals were awarded in one category (clean and jerk, snatch and combined) which invariably led to the same athlete winning all three of the same colour medal.{{cite web|url=https://teamengland.org/commonwealth-games-history/auckland-1990/athletes|title=1990 Athletes|website=Team England}}{{cite web|url=https://thecgf.com/results/athletes/55678|title=Athletes and results|website=Commonwealth Games Federation|access-date=17 September 2019|archive-date=10 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220110142943/https://thecgf.com/results/athletes/55678|url-status=dead}}
