Devin was a quick learner, and soon he was sparring with other kids in the gym. Some of Devin’s earliest memories of boxing include:
As Devin continued to train and improve, he began to realize that boxing was more than just a physical activity. It was a mental game as well.

The Turning Point
Devin’s turning point came when he was 16 years old. He was competing in a local tournament, and he was nervous. He had never competed before, and he wasn’t sure if he was ready. But Mike, his coach, saw something in him that gave him confidence.
“I never thought I could do it, but I did it. And now I’m proud of myself.”
