Coaches who
bring the fight.

Head Coach

Virgil Debeer

Boxing didn't just change my life—it saved it. In the gym, I found discipline where there was chaos, strength where there was doubt, and purpose where there was lostness. Every punch I threw broke down the old me; every drop of sweat built the person I was meant to be. The fight wasn't just against an opponent—it was for my future.

Before COVID, my boxing academy was my pride—a place where fighters trained, dreams were built, and I felt alive. But when the pandemic hit, everything collapsed. Gyms shut down, students vanished, and the loneliness crept in. The four walls of my empty academy became a prison, and depression became my silent sparring partner.

But boxing had taught me one thing—you don't quit because it's hard; you adjust your stance and keep moving. So, I did. I started training alone in the empty gym, shadowboxing my demons. I got my 3 boys involved. Seeing their excitement sparked the desire to reopen. Slowly, I rebuilt and one by one kids from all over coming back. Today we run 3 sessions from juniors to adults lessons. Covid took a lot from me, but also showed me my own strength.
