Our founder, Ferdi, discovered his passion for boxing at the young age of 13 when he stumbled upon a 'Rocky' book in his school library. This ignited a fire within him, leading him to join his local PCYC and immerse himself in the world of boxing. Ferdi's dedication and love for the sport took him to renowned boxing gyms such as Gleason's in New York, the 5th St. Gym in Miami, and even allowed him to train under the guidance of legendary trainers like Floyd Mayweather senior and Jeff Mayweather. He has also had the privilege of training with Johnny Lewis, Kostya Tszyu's trainer, and has fought notable boxers like Jai Opetaia and Tim Tszyu. Ferdi's experience as an amateur and professional fighter has equipped him with a detailed and intricate approach to teaching. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced boxer, Ferdi can tailor his teachings to suit your skill level. He even enjoys taking beginners from scratch and guiding them all the way to their first fight. With aspirations of fighting in New York and Las Vegas, Ferdi is constantly moving forward in pursuit of his dreams.
