How to use Boxing Network

Short walkthroughs for the three accounts that matter in the gym.

The app follows the gym. Coaches run the roster and the card. Register your gym. Then choose a community flyer or an in-app event. Fighters train and show up. Parents stay in the loop.

Short FAQ

What’s the difference between an in-app event and a flyer?

A flyer promotes an event that lives outside the app (poster, comments, bout-sheet PDFs). An in-app event is a card you run in Boxing Network — registration, bout sheet, brackets, live.

Do I need a gym to post?

Community flyer: no. Sparring in-app event: no. Show or tournament: yes — ProfileEditRegister Gym first, or join a gym.

Can I put a poster on an in-app event?

Yes. Create EventEvent flyer (optional). That is the cover image, not a community flyer.

Can fighters register from a community flyer?

No. Only an in-app event has in-app registration, and the coach does it.

I already registered my gym and still don’t see Show/Tournament.

Confirm Profile is no longer Unattached and Team says My Gym. Then Create EventEvent Type.

Alexis Ortiz

Fighter, Developer, Educator · Houston, TX

I grew up in the Houston boxing community, training and coaching at my family’s gym. I’ve watched fighters and coaches drown in DMs and group chats. I’ve had sparring sessions fall through and lost evenings of work. I’ve seen shows go to event day with a bout sheet that was only half full.

Boxing Network is the tool I wished existed when I was looking for sparring, scouting gyms in a new city when we've traveled for nationals, or when we were trying to matchmake for an event. I graduated Hamilton College, NY, with a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics and combined my passion for boxing with my technical expertise to create Boxing Network.

The story

Built in the gym.

Boxing Network started after one too many missed fights. A camp ends, a fighter is ready, and the bout falls through because the right opponent never saw the call. Or a gym puts on a show and the room is half-empty because the flyer lived in three group chats and a facebook group where everyone is doing the exact same thing.

We're fighters and coaches who got tired of running the business of boxing on tools built for everything else. Sparring shouldn't take a week of DMs. A bout sheet shouldn't live only on a spreadsheet. Finding a gym in a new city shouldn't require knowing someone who knows someone.

So we built the network we wanted to fight in. One app. Every gym, every fighter, every event, every corner — pulled together, still local, still ours.

What we stand for

Four corners. Four rules.

01

Built in the gym

Every feature started with a real fight night, a real bout sheet, a real gym we train at. Nothing is theoretical.

02

Fighters first

Every decision begins with the boxer. If it doesn't make their next fight easier, it doesn't ship.

03

Local before global

We grow block by block, gym by gym. The scene is local — the tools should be too.

04

No middlemen

Direct connections between fighters, coaches, gyms, and organizers. No gatekeepers, no agents in between.
