About Original Boxing Academy
Our History
Original Boxing Academy was founded in 2016 by professional boxers Gibran Perez and Jonathan Espino. Their journey with boxing started at the age of 14. They joined a non profit gym that allowed them access to the sport. They quickly learned the art of boxing and how it was more than just a sport. It taught them discipline, commitment, and mental strength. Both began fighting as amateur fighters and became part of a boxing community that was filled with hopes and dreams. As adults, they continued to be a part of this community and saw the impact that boxing had on underserved youth. It gave them a goal, a purpose, and safe outlet for them to express themselves. Gibran and Jonathan had their pro debut and are currently professional boxers. Their purpose is to give back to their community by impacting the youth through the sport of boxing. Since 2016, Original Boxing Academy has mentored and inspired youth to set goals for themselves and fight for them. The goal now is to create a gym that not only provides top-notch training, but also a support system to the community.
