You will see some great Pictures and Videos, learn about our history and programs and be able to stay up to date with SJC Boxing news and events.

WE ARE SETTING UP
THE SJC BOXING LEGACY FUND

The SJC Boxing Gym has helped countless individuals and done so many great things for the community throughout the years. Steve Canton has seen many great gyms and important organizations close after losing their leaders and, at the urging of others, has decided to initiate the SJC Boxing Legacy Fund to ensure that the SJC Boxing Gym will remain, under top leadership, to continue serving the community. With your support, the SJC Mentoring Program, the SJC Boxing Gym and the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame Museum (located in the same building as the gym) will live on and continue to have a major impact in Southwest Florida. We need your help, donate now, and keep the dream alive for those who need help the most – our kids – tomorrow’s leaders.

FREE TIM "DOC" ANDERSON CAMPAIGN

SJC Boxing is with Tim Anderson

Tim “Doc” Anderson was convicted for a crime he did not commit. He was found guilty of premeditated first degree murder and has been incarcerated since April 1995 in a Florida prison, serving life with no chance for parole.

Yes, Tim Anderson did shoot and kill his former promoter, Rick Parker, on that fateful day, but it definitely was not premeditated. If he had been convicted of anything less, he would have already served his time and been a free man.
