The interest in boxing, whether amateur or professional, survives. It has been around for centuries. There is strategy and athleticism involved here and it’s a great outlet both mentally and physically.

Manager William Tyson, Jr. secured sponsorships for this USA Sanctioned Boxing event from Herb and Hive, Yardley; Cheese Dawgs on Mill Street; SMP Service & Maintenance Professionals, LLC, Warminster; and The Law Office of Kaitlin Files, LLC in Levittown.

Tim Witherspoon, Jr. a former professional fighter raised in a family of boxers tenaciously searched for the perfect, upped-caliber location for his dream, Witherspoon Boxing & Fitness, to teach young people his craft. He opened in the spectacular historic Grundy Commons on 925 Canal Street beneath the powerful presence of the iconic Grundy Commons clock tower. It’s easy to find, highly visible, and there’s plenty of parking.

Confident, charismatic Tim, Jr. was taught the value of strategy, and athleticism, and hard work by his father, skilled two-time heavyweight champion of the world, “Terrible” Tim Witherspoon, Sr.

Tim “Terrible II” is both an AAAI certified Personal trainer, a Gold Standard in Fitness Education and Certification, and a certified USA Boxing Coach.

Boxing is one of the best aerobic exercises but they are busy building champions in and out of the ring. Besides the Witherspoon Boxing Ring room, there is a Boot Camp area with weights and cardio stations for high-intensity strength and core training along with conditioning sessions to improve cardiovascular endurance under the structured guidance of ACE Certified elite fitness trainer, Omar Clarke.
