Tejon Douglas is a 21-year-old boxer in the early stages of his professional career. As his coach, I’ve watched him show up to train every single day with discipline, humility, and heart. He trains twice a day, never complains, and gives everything he has to boxing. But while most fighters worry about their next opponent, Tejon is fighting life outside the ring too — he’s currently living in a homeless shelter, chasing his dream of becoming a professional boxer against all odds.
Preparing for a professional fight camp is no small feat. An 8–10 week camp requires training twice a day, six days a week, along with sparring, conditioning, medical clearance, recovery, and strict nutrition. Because Tejon does not have financial stability, he can’t consistently afford the basic requirements needed to compete safely. Every donation to this fundraiser goes directly toward the real, day-to-day costs of preparing Tejon for a professional fight camp. Your support will help cover safety and mandatory fight gear (sparring gloves, headgear, mouthguards, and more), training and preparation equipment (boxing shoes, jump ropes, athletic clothing), nutrition and recovery (groceries, hydration, recovery tools), medical and licensing requirements (exams, bloodwork, licensing fees), transportation to training, and fight week expenses (travel, hotel, weigh-in supplies, and corner essentials).
This fundraiser isn’t about luxury — it’s about giving a hardworking athlete the basic opportunity to prepare safely and professionally. The goal is simple: remove financial barriers so Tejon can focus on training, competing, and building a future through boxing. If you’ve ever believed someone just needed one real opportunity — this is that moment. We’re not asking for sympathy. We’re asking for a team. Your support helps remove the barriers that hard work alone can’t overcome. You’re not just donating to a fight camp. You’re helping a young man build stability, purpose, and a future. If you can give — thank you. If you can share — that matters just as much. Join Tejon’s corner and be part of his journey to the ring.
