Built by a boxer.
Built for everyone.
First State Boxing is a community gym in Camden, Delaware built for people who want to learn, compete, get fit, and grow. We welcome all ages and all skill levels — from 5-year-olds stepping into a gym for the first time to adults looking for a real challenge. We serve Camden, Dover, Smyrna, Milford, and the surrounding central Delaware area.
Every member is part of the family from day one. No judgment. No ego. Just hard work and real coaching.
Coach Ant has lived boxing for over 20 years — first as a fighter who spent countless rounds in the ring sparring and competing, then as a coach who's worked with everyone from beginners throwing their first jab to amateurs, professionals, and Olympians.
His philosophy is simple: boxing isn't just about the sport — it's about taking people to the next level in their lives. Confidence, discipline, focus, fitness, and the kind of grit that carries over into everything outside the ring. Whether you're 5 or 70, whether you want to compete or just get in the best shape of your life, Coach Ant meets you where you are and pushes you further than you thought you could go.
That's why he built First State Boxing — to create a place in Camden where all people, all ages, and all skill levels can train, grow, and become the best version of themselves.
Our fighters compete at the highest levels too — including a Team USA boxer training for a professional debut and a state-ranked #1 high school boxer, both coached right here at our Camden boxing gym.
