About Us

At The Heavyweight Factory, we’re more than just a boxing gym—we’re a powerhouse of talent, discipline, and transformation. Based in Hollywood, Florida, our facility stands at the forefront of the fight game, producing elite athletes and staging world-class boxing events that bring the energy, passion, and intensity fans crave. Founded by Kris Lawrence, The Heavyweight Factory was built on a vision to revive the glory days of heavyweight boxing while creating new opportunities for the next generation of fighters.

Our 20,000-square-foot state-of-the-art training facility is home to a dynamic community of fighters, trainers, and professionals dedicated to excellence. With access to top-tier equipment, advanced conditioning programs, and one-on-one coaching from former world champions like Michael Moorer and Shannon Briggs, athletes at THF are pushed to their limits—and beyond. Many of our fighters come from collegiate sports backgrounds, particularly football, and are molded through grit, discipline, and the art of boxing into powerful contenders ready for the spotlight.

Beyond the gym, The Heavyweight Factory is a leading name in boxing promotions. Our signature fight series, including Rumble at the Rock and the Championship Fight Series, draw fans from across the country and showcase the raw talent and skill of our roster. These events, often held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, deliver thrilling matchups, unforgettable moments, and a platform for fighters to rise through the ranks.

We’re also proud to support and elevate women in boxing through our Fight Girls program—an initiative that encourages female participation in the sport, both inside the ring and as ambassadors of the brand during live events. From training opportunities to event engagement, The Heavyweight Factory is committed to creating an inclusive space for everyone passionate about boxing.

What sets us apart is our deep-rooted belief in second chances, hard work, and long-term vision. We don’t just train fighters—we build careers, discipline, and character. Whether you’re an athlete looking to make your debut, a fan ready to catch the next big fight, or someone inspired by the discipline of boxing, you’ll find your place here.

At The Heavyweight Factory, the energy is unmatched, the talent is undeniable, and the future of boxing is being written every day. Come see what we’re all about—and be part of the movement.
