Meet Our Team

Owner

My journey in boxing began at 15 years old when my father purchased the famous Luzi’s building on Hyde Park Boulevard. Casal’s Boxing Club moved into the building, I joined the gym, and boxing has been a major part of my life ever since.

In 2019, I helped my brother open FightNight Boxing Club and turned nearly 30 years of passion for the sport into something we could bring to our community. Since then, FightNight has produced a national champion, developed fighters who have competed in national tournaments, and become home to both amateur and professional fighters.

Our involvement in boxing also extends beyond the gym through FightNights.com, our boxing media outlet focused on fight schedules, boxer records, news, and coverage of the sport.

Outside of boxing, I serve as a police officer for the City of Niagara Falls. Whether through the gym or my career, I’ve always believed in giving back to the community I call home.

For me, FightNight is about more than boxing, it’s about giving people a place to learn, compete, improve, and belong.

Owner

I got involved in boxing in 1999, and for the past 27 years I’ve been training fighters and continuing to learn the sport from the inside out.
In 2012, I opened my own boxing gym in an old second-floor warehouse. It wasn’t fancy, but it gave us a place to work. What started as a small gym built around hard work and a love for boxing has grown into a place where fighters of all experience levels can come to learn, train, and improve.

My approach to coaching is built around strong fundamentals, discipline, conditioning, and understanding the craft of boxing—not just throwing punches. Every fighter is different, and I believe good coaching means finding what works for the individual rather than trying to turn everyone into the same type of fighter.
Over the years, I’ve worked with fighters at different levels, from people stepping into a boxing gym for the first time to experienced competitors. Whether someone wants to compete, improve their skills, get in shape, or simply learn how to box properly, the goal is the same: help them become better every time they walk through the door.

Head Boxing Coach; Strength and Conditioning Coach

I started boxing in 2014 and quickly became one of the top female boxers in Western New York.

I run the competition team at Fightnight with my husband Adonis and also run my strength training business, Limitless Performance out of Fightnight.

I bridge the gap between high-performance athletic execution and long-term vitality, grounding every workout in time-tested, scientifically backed principles.

In the Boxing Ring…

I bring a lifetime of high-level competitive knowledge to my fighters, backed by my own national experience as a competitive fighter. Since 2015, I have been coaching athletes from the ground up, utilizing the technical scoring criteria of USA Boxing. By analyzing each athlete's strengths, I have trained and developed multiple champions—building versatile, adaptable competitors who are ready to face any opponent.

In the weight room…

Strength training is a non-negotiable necessity for longevity and healthy aging. Strength training is for absolutely everyone, regardless of age, past injuries, or physical limitations. Over the years, I have built an incredible community of adults who are pushing their physical and mental boundaries, learning to move better, and reclaiming their physical health.
Whether you are stepping into the square circle to compete or trying to build a body that stands the test of time, I will challenge your limits and bring out the absolute best version of you.

Ready to train with purpose? Let’s get to work.

Coach

Adonis made his way to Buffalo, NY, from the New York City area after earning a Division I football scholarship to the University at Buffalo. While attending UB, Adonis discovered the University at Buffalo Boxing Club and eventually transitioned his athletic career from the football field to the boxing ring.

Over the past six years, Adonis has developed into one of the top-ranked amateur boxers in the country, winning multiple national titles, including the 2026 National Golden Gloves Championship.

At FightNight Boxing Club, Adonis plays a key role in fighter development while continuing to pursue his own competitive boxing career. Outside the gym, he also coaches football and serves as a police officer in Niagara Falls.

Adonis brings high level athletic experience, championship boxing knowledge, and a competitive mindset to every fighter he works with at FightNight.
