Hope Boxing Academy, a non-profit organization, was founded by Dexter Sutton. Dexter is a former professional boxer who experienced firsthand the challenges young people face growing up in marginalized communities with limited opportunities and resources. The Academy is a testament to the power of mentors, coaches, and sponsors who share a vision to positively impact the lives of these young people. Together, they provide leadership and educational programs that help youth avoid the dangers and consequences of street life while also offering growth and development opportunities to those in underserved communities.
