Cancer doesn't pull punches and neither will you.

Since 2011, Haymakers for Hope has been training and transforming ordinary people into badass amateur boxers entering the ring for their first US Boxing-sanctioned bout - all while raising real money to knock out of cancer by supporting research, care, awareness, and survivorship.

Haymakers boxers commit to four months of intensive boxing training, all culminating in three rounds in front of an amped-up audience at a legit venue. Bragging rights never expire.

You don't need boxing experience. All you need is the mindset to KO cancer.
