Marcos began training at Mendez Boxing in Harlem to find focus and quickly developed a passion for the sport, training alongside fighters and studying tapes. He started helping at Mendez, assisting newcomers and helping them feel comfortable, which led to him being discovered by Ring of Hope and securing his first position as a trainer, where he has increased engagement in our schools and volunteered beyond his role to advance our mission.
