My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world. Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Taylor, Billy Bridges, Frankie Randall just to name a few of the boxers who have passed thru the Southerns and/or trained at our gym.

Answer Antonio,
Here is a list of gyms in Arizona. I am not familiar with them personally since I live in the east but you can contact them and ask which ones have fees. You want a gym that is affiliated with golden gloves.
