About
Our goal is not just to teach them just how to box; IT is to give them the tools to better themselves in life.
Founded in 2022, Juggernauts Boxing Club (Juggernauts) is a boxing gym in Chaumont, New York, dedicated to providing a positive and constructive outlet for the town's youth. This unique endeavor is the brainchild of Jose and Jennifer Sosa, a dynamic duo passionate about boxing and community service.
The club's mission is to empower Chaumont's youth, providing them with a safe and nurturing environment where they can learn the discipline and skills of boxing, stay fit, and foster positive relationships. Starting in the garage of their home, they are looking to expand the current facility to help more youth. Juggernauts aim to become a cornerstone of the Chaumont community.
The journey through the boxing world is often marked by hardship, pain, and heartache but also by an unwavering passion and drive. Many fighters come from challenging backgrounds marked by broken homes, lack of direction, and poverty. Boxing often serves as their beacon of hope, a means to rise above these circumstances. Jose himself hails from this very setting. Many of his childhood friends succumbed to the pitfalls of life, ending up in prison, involved with drugs, gangs, and some even tragically lost their lives. However, Jose chose a different path - the path of boxing. It served as his refuge, preventing him from making bad choices and possibly having his life cut short prematurely.
Coach Sosa works at a small school in Chaumont, NY, where he observes first-hand the need for guidance among the youth. He recognizes the troubled, the bored, and the lost - those searching for a place to belong. Boxing, in his experience, caters to all these needs and more. At Juggernauts Boxing Club, we strive to be more than just a club. We are a family that looks out for each other, fostering physical strength and mental resilience. Our program is designed to bring out the best in our members, primarily by instilling a belief in their abilities. Since our inception a year ago, we've grown to include ten kids in our program, which is rapidly increasing. We're committed to using boxing as a transformative tool, empowering our youth to better themselves and their futures.
