Welcome to SouthBoX Gym by Eric Kelly, the people's gym in the South Bronx, and the most affordable boxing gym in New York City.
We're raising money to continue supporting the community by keeping people safe and fit, keeping kids off the streets, and by motivating our members to work toward their goals in fitness and in life.
We want to reopen the beginning of 2020, and use the funds for the following:
Building, designing and transforming an identified industrial space into a world class boxing facility.
Purchasing new equipment including a new ring, new bags, treadmills & elliptical machines, gloves, wraps, mouth guards, head gear, weights, and much more!
We have an incredible community here of amateurs and professionals alike. Some of our notable pros:
Christina Cruz - Champion in the 2019 Elite Eastern Qualifiers
Jeter Burgos - a 2019 NY Boxing Tournament Champion
Peter Dobson - Our professional star with a 11-0 record, 7 K.O.'s, who stopped the previously undefeated Emmanuel Medina
And amateurs like Donahue Fields, an aspiring marine, who after losing his legs at 19 years old, turned to Wheelchair Boxing, and was profiled by CNN for their Great Big Story Series at SouthBoX Gym.
We will continue supporting the local community and the New York City area in their boxing and fitness goals, no matter what!
We hope you join us in our mission of supporting youths with direction and confidence, spreading the art of self-defense, and giving everyone a place to work out, learn skills, and have fun!
