About Us

Welcome to Indiana Boxing Academy, where passion meets excellence to empower athletes of all skill levels. Our 100% FREE program is made possible thanks to the generosity of donors who share our vision of transforming young lives and strengthening communities. The academy was founded by Joseph Mack, a former amateur MMA fighter and a USA Boxing registered trainer with over 25 years of experience. Joseph is also a certified boxing therapy coach, working with organizations such as the Department of Child Services (DCS), Lighthouse CPC, Lighthouse Upper, and Lighthouse EC, while serving as the Head Trainer of IBA. At Indiana Boxing Academy, our mission is to cultivate the next generation of boxing champions while delivering world-class coaching and athletic development.

Our unwavering commitment to fostering talent and building confidence in athletes is at the very heart of everything we do. We passionately guide aspiring boxers from their very first day in training all the way through to achieving professional rankings, ensuring that every individual receives the dedicated expert guidance, personalized attention, and comprehensive support they need to thrive and succeed in their journey.

At IBA, we don't just focus on boxing; we are dedicated to fostering the growth of athletes who strive to become or continue to be exceptional sportsmen, responsible citizens, and highly disciplined individuals. Self-control is not only a fundamental requirement in boxing but also an essential skill in navigating life's challenges. We are committed to providing an atmosphere that inspires hard work, dedication, and perseverance. By embracing this environment, we forge our clients into well-rounded athletes who are not only strong physically but also mentally resilient and masters of self-control. In addition to physical and mental growth, we believe in cultivating a strong sense of community and teamwork. Boxing may seem like an individual sport, but at IBA, we emphasize the importance of camaraderie, support, and shared goals. Our athletes are encouraged to uplift and motivate one another, creating a network of mutual respect and encouragement. This sense of unity not only enhances their performance in the ring but also prepares them to excel in collaborative environments outside of sports, fostering leadership and a spirit of cooperation.
