Help Send Baton Rouge Boxer McKenzie Lazard to the 2026 National Boxing Event

Meet McKenzie Lazard, a young, disciplined, and rising boxer from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with his eyes set on the national stage. On February 25, 2026, McKenzie has the opportunity to compete in the 2026 National Boxing Event hosted in Independence, Missouri—a major step in his journey as an athlete and a defining moment in his career.

This fight isn’t just about competition; it’s about dedication, sacrifice, character, and representing Baton Rouge with pride. It’s a journey McKenzie fully embodies; one rooted in discipline, consistency, and meaningful impact within his community.

McKenzie’s hard work is already being recognized. His most recent achievement is earning the Ray Rogers Most Outstanding Boxer Award for Region 6, an honor that speaks not only to his skill in the ring, but also to his sportsmanship, work ethic, and all-around character as a boxer.

Now, he's ready to take that momentum to the national level.

Like many young athletes, the cost of travel, registration, lodging, and training adds up quickly.

We are raising $4,000 to help cover competition fees and travel expenses so McKenzie can focus fully on what he does best—training, showing up, and giving it his all in the ring.

ANY amount helps bring this dream closer to reality. Even a share or a word of encouragement means more than you know. Thank you for believing in McKenzie and supporting a young athlete achieving greatness. ✨
