More Than Boxing
“Be careful who's in your corner, but you can trust God to always be in your corner.”
Every practice opens the same way: together, in prayer, with a lesson that reaches past the ring. Coach Vargas trains fighters, but first he's raising good people. Champions in life.
The Heart · In Memory
This gym exists because of a boy who never stopped fighting.
August 25, 2009 – October 23, 2024
His parents started Vargas Boxing in his memory. Today the Vargas family trains and mentors young boxers to become champions in life, just like Manny.
