Founded by legendary boxers Gene, Don, and Jay Fullmer, we exist to teach the youth in our community discipline, nutrition, fitness, integrity, and service.
For over 40 years, the Fullmer Brothers’ Boxing Gym has served youth in the community through fitness classes, competition training, and life coaching—all at no cost. The Fullmer Legacy Foundation exists to preserve the brothers’ commitment to our youth, instilling in them the self esteem that good communities are built upon.
Former Fullmer boxer Landon “Guero” Stokeo said about the program, “the Fullmer Boxing Gym has been a cornerstone in my life, helping to shape me into the man I am today—a place to harness my energy, frustration, hurt, and anger and give me a positive outlet.”

“We try to give them goals to live by. We try to get them to do the very best they can. We’re not saying everybody’s going to end up a champion but, I can guarantee you, if they keep coming down, they’ll be better kids and they’ll be better citizens – that’s all we ask.”

Life lessons learned through boxing
The Fullmer legacy of boxing isn’t about fighting or hurting others. We build each other up rather than knock each other down. Figuratively, we each fight our own challenges in life, but together we can learn to throw a great counterpunch at these challenges. For over 40 years, we’ve helped thousands of at-risk youth—not to mention adults—build physical and mental strength for the world outside the ring.
Build self-confidence and willpower 
Strengthen mental and physical health 
Reduce depression, trauma, and grief 
Improve focus and concentration 
Overcome adversity and life’s hurdles 
Manage and overcome anger 
Since the golden age of boxing
This might age us, but we’ve been in the ring (or ringside) since the 1940s. While championships and medals are fun, the foundation’s true calling is in building self esteem and emotional intelligence for anyone who enjoys boxing as well as create opportunities for developing integrity and a place in the community through boxing as a sport. With our new facility, we’re expanding our programs and offering more classes and coaching to young and old alike.
coming soon!
The new Fullmer Legacy Center
Designed by the architects over at VCBO, we couldn’t be more thrilled to open our new and improved facility. With two floors and over 16,000 square feet, we’ll have plenty of room to coach, train, and host boxing to the community.
