NY BOXING group was established by professional Heavyweight boxer Shannon Miller and his brother professional light heavyweight boxer Shawn Miller to teach everyday people how to train and fight like professionals. Where NY BOXING differs from all of the other local boxing gyms is that NY BOXING'S classes are taught by actual Boxers who have had boxing matches, not just thought about it or watched it on TV. NY BOXING'S goals are simple: to teach our clients how to throw and avoid punches correctly, and to condition and train them like real fighters do prior to a fight. 7
