The Nomad Boxing Club was started in 2019 by Manuel ("Manny") Dunham, a retired, 22-year veteran boxer who was ranked #6 in the nation after winning multiple titles during his career, including: 3-time PNW Champion; 3-time McCracken Fight Champion; Arctic Glove Champion; Oregon State Golden Glove Champion. Manny is a certified NCAA personal trainer and works with a variety of individuals, from people who want to get in shape to athletes.
While most of the club's current members are youth and young adults from minority/underserved populations, individuals of any age and all backgrounds are welcome; some members have been formerly incarcerated individuals who are committed to changing themselves and turning their lives around, while others are young students working their way through school. Some are hoping to compete as amateurs, and others are hoping to turn boxing into their professional career. No matter what your level and reason for being there. Each team member is expected at practice 5 days a week for 2 hours training sessions.
If you believe in the Nomad's goal of teaching respect, discipline, and integrity though the sweet science of boxing, please consider becoming a patron on this organization. Each donation goes directly to benefit the team; buying gear, paying for travel to competitions, and covering gym dues.
