Boxers Of The Month
At Fierce N Fit Boxing, we believe every athlete deserves to be seen, celebrated and recognized for their growth and contributions. Each month, we highlight Boxers of the Month to honour athletes who demonstrate dedication, sportsmanship, leadership and personal progress both inside and outside the gym. This recognition is not only about skill development, but about character, consistency, community spirit and the effort they bring to every training session. By celebrating these athletes, we reinforce our commitment to inclusion, confidence building and creating a place where every individual’s hard work truly matters.

Boxers of the Month
Each month at Fierce N Fit, we recognize athletes who demonstrate growth, commitment, leadership and heart. Our May Boxers of the Month have each shown something special in their own way, and we are so proud of the work they continue to put in.
For September, we are proud to recognize:
Everley
Everley has shown amazing growth since joining Fierce N Fit. When she first started, she needed encouragement to participate and was most comfortable working with one coach. Now, Everley confidently joins the group, works with different coaches, and takes part in our boxing exercises with a smile on her face. One of the most special parts of her growth has been watching her go from needing support to participate, to holding hand pads and encouraging her friend by showing her how it is done. Everley’s confidence, kindness, and willingness to help others have been wonderful to see, and we are so proud of how far she has come.
​
Becky
Becky brings a calm, gentle, and caring presence to every Fierce N Fit class. She arrives ready to box, works through each exercise at her own pace, and always brings warmth to the room with her sweet and gentle hugs. Becky surprises everyone with her creative and amazing boxing combinations that she loves to show off, proving that her gentle nature comes with focus, confidence, and skill. We love having Becky in class and seeing that familiar smile when she walks through the doors each week.
Jordan
Jordan brings excitement, confidence, and joy to every Fierce N Fit class, along with his cool style and signature winter hats. He has been boxing with us for quite a while and does an amazing job following instructions, finding his targets, and working through his punches and combinations. Jordan is legally blind, but watching him jump in and participate fully in every activity, you would never know it. He takes part with no fear, only eagerness, effort, and a true love for being part of the team. Even when he is drenched in sweat, Jordan never gives up. He is a true fighter, and we love the energy, determination, and personality he brings to Fierce N Fit.
Roslin
Roslin is such a special part of the Fierce N Fit family. She travels far to come to our boxing program, and we are so grateful for the effort she makes to be part of our classes. Roslin arrives with one of the biggest smiles in the gym, works closely with our volunteer coaches, follows their instructions, and gives her best effort throughout our boxing exercises. She has also become known for giving the sweetest hugs. If a coach goes in for a high five, there is a good chance Roslin is turning it into a hug instead. We love having her with us and watching her enjoy being part of the team.

For August, we are proud to recognize:
Ben
Ben has shown incredible growth since joining Fierce N Fit. When he first started boxing, he wanted his mom beside him every step of the way. Now, Ben comes into class independently, ready to participate, learn new skills, take on boxing circuits, and try out new equipment with confidence. He brings a fun, playful energy to every class and is always eager to start, whether he is joining us in person or online. Ben has grown so much that he now has the courage to demonstrate and help lead parts of class, which has been inspiring for our coaches and team to witness. He even brought his grandma, Coach Geraldine, to join our class as a volunteer. Ben’s confidence, bravery, and joy are a beautiful reminder of what can happen when athletes are given a safe space to grow.

​
Maguire
Maguire is a founding member of Fierce N Fit and was our youngest boxer to ever join the team. She has always brought fun energy, laughter, and creativity to our programs, but this past year we have seen so much growth in her confidence and eagerness to join in and participate. Maguire is talented both in the boxing gym and in arts and crafts, and her artistic ability continues to shine through in everything she creates. She has also really enjoyed putting on the hand pads and stepping in to help coach our athletes by holding pads for different boxing combinations. Maguire’s creativity, positivity, and growing confidence make her such a special part of our Fierce N Fit family.
​
Nicole
Nicole has been boxing with Fierce N Fit since 2021 and is truly the strong, silent type. She always comes to class with a smile, a positive attitude, and a kind heart. Nicole is always ready to lend a helping hand, give a hug, and support the athletes around her. She never gives up and always takes the time to ask about her fellow teammates, showing what a caring and supportive friend she is. Nicole is also a great performer, not only in her boxing combinations and movements, but also through her dancing and singing during our social activities. Her quiet strength, kindness, and joyful spirit make her a valued part of our Fierce N Fit community.
Amar
Amar has truly shined since joining Fierce N Fit. In such a short amount of time, he has learned everyone’s names, asks about his teammates regularly, and encourages other athletes during class workouts. Amar is a polite gentleman who arrives at every class excited, eager to participate, and ready to box. He helps keep everyone on schedule with his enthusiasm and dedication, and his excitement and happiness are contagious. Amar is always motivated to earn his weekly “boxing badge,” and he has definitely earned the honour of being one of our Boxers of the Month. His consistency, determination, sunshine, and chatter bring so much joy to our classes.

Tia
Tia is one of our Athlete Representatives and plays an important role both during and outside of our programs. She helps create many of our activity flyers and comes up with the themes for our weekly online Thursday classes, helping make each week fun, creative, and engaging for everyone.

Tia proudly promotes Fierce N Fit to everyone in her life and is a wonderful representative of our program.
Chelsea
Chelsey never misses an online workout and always comes ready to train. One of the first things everyone notices is the joyful, warm welcome she gives to athletes and coaches as they join class. She always shows up with her tea in hand, ready to work hard, have fun, and bring her amazing energy to the group. Once the Shania Twain music comes on, everyone knows the party has officially started. Every class has a moment we all look forward to when someone asks, “Chelsey, what time is it?” and everyone knows what’s coming next: “SPEEEEEEEDBALLLLLLLL!” Chelsey’s consistency, joy, and enthusiasm make her such a special part of our Fierce N Fit community.
Charles
Charles continues to show what is possible through adaptive boxing. As one of our Athlete Representatives, he stays connected each week through our virtual boxing program and remains an active, dedicated member of the Fierce N Fit community. Charles is a true fighter who has faced some of the biggest life adversities anyone could imagine, yet he continues to push forward, fight for what he believes in, and inspire the people around him. In December 2024, Charles made Canadian history by becoming the first official Canadian competitive para-boxer, representing Canada at the DragonKraków ParaBoxing Championships in Poland. His achievement is an incredible milestone not only for Fierce N Fit, but for adaptive boxing in Canada. Charles is a true inspiration to anyone who knows him, and we are so proud to celebrate everything he has accomplished.
Scott
​Scott is one of the most friendly, kind, and caring people you will ever meet. He brings so much personality, humour, and heart to Fierce N Fit. Scott is known for his positive attitude, his silly jokes, and the way he always checks in on others. No matter what he may be going through with his health or in his personal life, he still shows up, pushes through, and makes sure the people around him feel comfortable, included, and cared for. Scott also brings the fun to class with his on-beat dance moves, spooky Halloween costumes, and love for heavy metal music. But when it is time to box, Scott means business. With his solid punches and strong work ethic, he truly lives up to one of his favourite songs: “Let’s get down to business.” Scott’s kindness, humour, strength, and determination make him such a valued part of our Fierce N Fit family.​

We also loved watching Alex showcase his boxing skills at Showdown in the Downtown and seeing his personality shine at team events. Outside the gym, he continues to learn and do his own research because he believes knowledge is power. We are proud of the effort he brings to the program each week.
Brittany
Brittany brings effort and enthusiasm to every class. Since joining Fierce N Fit in 2018, she has continued showing up, learning new boxing skills, and taking part in everything the program has to offer.

For May, we are proud to recognize:
Tim
Tim shows what commitment really looks like. No matter where he is, he always finds a way to show up. Even when he’s travelling, he still joins our online boxing sessions, which is how he earned the nickname “Travelling Tim.” He also comes early to help let people into class and support the team. Joining us all the way from South Carolina, we are so lucky and honoured to have Tim as part of our boxing family.
Jorden
Jorden is a true fighter in every sense of the word. No matter what she is going through with her health, she still shows up, even joining us from the hospital and doing the best she can. She has really stepped into a leadership role by coming early to help admit athletes into class and reading messages out loud so everyone feels included. She also helps close every class with her signature line, asking, “Chelsey, what time is it?” followed by “It’s finish time.” Jorden inspires all of us.
Michael
Michael gets straight to work the second he walks into the gym. He doesn’t waste a moment and gives full effort in everything he does. He is also our first athlete with Down syndrome to compete in a Boxing Ontario competition, which is an incredible achievement. Michael trains hard, pushes himself every session, and brings amazing energy with his dance moves and big smile that lights up the room.
Bandagi
Bandagi has grown so much since she started seven years ago. Her strength, especially her uppercuts, keeps getting better every workout. She has the kindest heart, loves giving hugs, and always makes sure no one feels left out. She may seem shy at first, but she is a fierce boxer who knows how to throw a strong punch.
