Tony Jeffries

Sunderland, England’s own Tony Jeffries is a “world-class athlete-turned-businessman.” An extremely successful and motivated man, he has been actively training in gyms since the age of 10. He was a professional boxer, going undefeated at the highest levels of his sport. He is an Olympic Bronze Medalist, a seven-time National Champion of England, and much more! After an injury ended his professional career, he chose not to give up on his passion, but decided to channel it differently. He took his skills and ambition and started a new journey in LA, where he is exploring his new career as an entrepreneur.

He is now the co-owner of two extremely successful Boxing gyms named Box ‘N Burn, that have been given the title as “California’s #1 Boxing and Fitness Gym.” He also runs the Box ‘N Burn Academy, which is the world’s leading boxing fitness and certification course, which provides an elite trainer certification course designed to educate personal trainers. Tony aspires to expand and open more gyms and continue to grow as the #1 Boxing fitness and certification course in the world. He is a force of nature to be reckoned with and has no plans of stopping until this happens. His favorite quote to live by is, “One year from now, you will wish you started today…”
