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.

I'm fundraising for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation because they are changing the lives of children with cancer every day by funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer.

I'm fighting for my grandfather Joe Pal, my uncle Kyran Pal, and my close family friend George DeMarchi. I’m more of a lover than a fighter, but cancer is the biggest bully on the playground, and I was raised to stand up to bullies.

What an accomplishment it would be to raise a ton of money for a noble cause, to get myself in the best shape of my life, and the get in that ring with a smile on my face and no regrets with my close friends & family watching from "my corner."
