More Than a Boxing Gym
Legacy Boxing Gym is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Lake Dallas, Texas. We use real boxing instruction, mentorship and a strong team environment to help people build confidence, discipline and a better future.
Our Story
Rich Lox founded Legacy Boxing Gym in 2017 with a simple belief: boxing can change a person’s direction in life. The gym was created to give youth, families and serious athletes a safe place to learn, grow and belong.
Legacy welcomes beginners, fitness members and competitive boxers. Every person is coached at the level that is right for them, with safety and long-term development placed ahead of rushing anyone into competition.
As a nonprofit, Legacy works to make boxing accessible to families throughout Lake Dallas, Hickory Creek, Corinth, Denton, Flower Mound, Highland Village, Lewisville and the surrounding communities. Scholarship assistance is available, and no young person should lose the opportunity to train simply because their family is facing financial hardship.
RICH LOX • FOUNDER & HEAD COACH
Meet Our Founder: Rich Lox
Rich began boxing at age six and built a lifetime of experience in the sport. He competed in approximately 220 amateur bouts and 19 professional fights, appearing on HBO Pay-Per-View, Telemundo and Fox Sports. His accomplishments include three Golden Gloves championships and four Silver Gloves championships.
Rich also served in the United States Army Reserve and played college football. His experiences in boxing, military service, athletics and overcoming testicular cancer helped shape the values he teaches today: perseverance, accountability, courage and respect.
As Legacy’s founder and head coach, Rich has helped develop nationally ranked amateur boxers while remaining committed to every member—not only champions. His goal is to teach people how to box correctly, help them become stronger inside and outside the ring, and give them a team that believes in them.
