From us over at we want to send a huge thank you to , , and for coming out to the HIVE and training with the wrestling team ahead of the return of the boxing program originally started by founder Michael Steadman over 10 years ago.

For many of our boys, this was their first time stepping into boxing. Learning stance, spacing, movement, and fundamentals alongside two professional fighters was probably the coolest introduction they could’ve asked for. We’re excited to continue building more opportunities and pathways moving forward.

10 years ago, I alongside other proud alumni, was part of that original boxing program. What started inside those walls eventually evolved into a full nonprofit organization now serving youth across the city of Newark through mentorship, education, entrepreneurship, trauma informed coaching and boxing.

First and foremost, thank you to our donors and supporters. You keep this mission alive and the impact moving.

To our scholars: your grit and commitment to your education, no matter the barriers in your path, remind me every day why we do this.

As we step into this new year with determination and impact at the forefront, I’m proud to represent the underdog, the young people who deserve a fighting chance, and who will one day see the fruits of their labor strengthening their communities in real time. I do this for you.

In 2026, our footprint will reach every ward, every corner, every young person who needs us. And to everyone supporting from their homes and rooting for our success, thank you for believing in the work and showing up to witness what’s happening on the ground.

We build champions, not just in the ring, but in life.

Stay tuned.

Huge thank you to the Devils Youth Foundation for believing in our mission and opening doors for our kids and community. People like Kate and her team reaffirm for the youth of Ironbound that it will always be “MORE THAN BOXING” 🥊🏒
