His high paced, very technical classes have a reputation for being the best and hardest classes Pan Am Boxing Club has to offer. He will challenge you both physically and mentally to keep up with his unrelenting pace.

Dylan Martin
Head Trainer
Dylan has been a fighter and the PABC manager for as long as we can remember. Fall 2022 is a special time for him. He moved to Montreal to train full-time as an amateur boxer on Team Canada. This is wonderful news for him and the club. We are all rooting for his successful boxing career. Although he is physically away, he is still involved in the club’s operations. Most of his tasks are behind the scenes and managerial work.

Volunteers
Our volunteers are the heart and soul of the club. Pan Am Boxing Club isn’t just a place to train, but a community where passion, dedication, and support are the foundations of everything we do.
We are proud to say that all our classes are run by volunteers, who have grown to love our club's culture and have become an integral part of it. With over 60 people dedicated to leading and assisting classes, manning the front desk, and coaching our fight team, our volunteers are the backbone of Pan Am Boxing.
Their hard work and commitment have helped us build a strong and supportive community that is open to everyone, regardless of skill level or background. From beginners to professional fighters, our team of volunteers is always ready to lend a helping hand and provide a positive and inclusive training environment.
We are incredibly grateful for their unwavering support and dedication, and we take pride in their accomplishments both in and out of the ring.

Angel De Paz
Boxing – Thursday 5:30 p.m.
"My main focus when teaching boxing is always the technique. I want people to know more than the basics, I want them to know different tricks that will make them dynamic, unpredictable fighters. I specially love head movement, chaining combos like the pros, and tricky footwork. My two favorite pro fighters to watch are Prince Naseem because of his unconventional fighting style, and Vasyl Lomanchenko because of his highly technical combinations and footwork. My goal is to become a certified boxing coach as soon as possible. I want to be able to do 1 on 1 sparring training sessions to teach people boxing skills in a more practical environment."

Since then, I've dropped 60 pounds and became the winner of Fight Club VII, Fight Games II, and Set the Pace for Pan Am Place II. When not at the boxing gym, don't be surprised to find me reintroducing myself to my fellow co-workers because they don't recognize me anymore. Or explaining in meetings that the dark circles under my eyes aren't because I'm tired, but because I sparred the day before."
