Please continue to visit our website to see our growing schedule of classes and sessions as opening day comes closer.

About Us
Cream City Boxing is non-profit organization serving young people with physical exercise programs, mentoring and support to provide an alternative to involvement with drugs, gangs and other delinquent behavior. Boxing has a long tradition of serving urban youth by introducing tools for self-discipline, character-building and dedication to a greater goal. Boxing remains an important outlet for many kids who don't have interest in team sports.

Kirby Lockett founded Cream City Boxing in 2010, but has been in the boxing industry since 1997, to provide a safe haven for Milwaukee youth and positive influence to develop character and self-discipline. The Trainers at the gym are experienced community volunteers who are involved with boxing. They all share the vision that the most important role of the gym is to provide young people with a stable and secure environment to learn a sport that helps grow strong bodies, disciplined minds and enhanced personal character.

Our Mission
Cream City Boxing is helping to prepare boys and girls and young men and women in the inner city of Milwaukee to play positive roles in their communities. Working with young people from seven to 25 years old, Cream City Boxing teaches lessons in self-discipline, commitment and responsibility.

Cream City Boxing is an after-school and recreational program that offers a safe haven and supportive environment to inner-city youths and young adults.

Organized in 1997 by Kirby Lockett, a long-time advocate for inner-city youth in the Milwaukee Area, Cream City Boxing is a non-profit 501c3 corporation.

Boxing and fitness are our central activities. Our mission, however, is to help youths and young adults who are vulnerable to getting involved in gangs, drugs and other trouble develop the character and confidence that will ensure that they become productive members of the community. A founding principle of our organization is that physical well-being, moral strength, emotional health and a hopeful outlook can be nurtured simultaneously.

Thus, through boxing and fitness, we teach life skills, such as self-discipline and how to work successfully with other people. In short, we mentor. And we help youths and young adults make good choices.

One example of using boxing and fitness to serve another purpose is our daily requirement that students complete homework before beginning other activities.

Many of the young people we serve are at risk, by virtue of difficult circumstances where they live, of making a variety of harmful choices. Through relationships with children from Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), Community Parents and other organizations, we seek especially to identify youths who have begun to head down destructive paths and who would benefit the most from additional stable adult relationships. By giving them an opportunity to belong to a healthy social network, we help them find a positive path.

The Boxing Workout
Few exercise programs provide the benefits of boxing. It’s a total-body workout that helps achieve a number of fitness goals, from cardiovascular health to weight loss to improved balance, strength and agility. Most of all, it’s exhilarating and fun.

Gain a Competitive Edge
Boxing is based on a set of physical and mental skills that combine to test personal courage, physical endurance and mental focus. Getting in the ring is the greatest personal challenge and the boxer is the best-conditioned athlete in any sport.

Commitment ... Results
A variety of non-contact and competitive programs are available for boxers who want to learn the “sweet science,” from the basics of wrapping hands to defensive slipping and counter punching.
