Guerrilla Boxing Academy 🥊

Olympians rarely emerge from neighborhood boxing gyms, but Guerrilla Boxing Academy coach Melvin Malone guided super heavyweight Joshua Edwards from age eleven to Team USA and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games — the gym’s first-ever Olympian. That pedigree shapes daily training at the Eastwood Street gym in Houston, where youth and amateur boxing classes run weekday evenings from 5 to 9 PM. Malone’s old-school approach emphasizes slips, angles, movement, and one-on-one drill work over flashy bag routines, and the academy remains deeply tied to Houston’s amateur boxing scene. The gym operates at 6518 Eastwood St. Ask about youth enrollment by calling (346) 417-3875 or visiting the academy’s website.
