Weston Youth Boxing Academy

Weston Youth Boxing Academy

Year-round boxing coaching and mentorship

Led by academy founder, Mohamed Weheliye, he uses boxing as a tool for mentorship — helping young people in Weston build discipline, confidence, and a positive path forward, away from street life and toward a brighter future. Now partnered with Strength to Lead, the Academy operates out of the "Strong Hands, Strong Mind" gym at 1836 Weston Road, combining boxing training with life-skills sessions on topics like financial literacy and nutrition.
