The Proof Returns: Free Youth Boxing Back This Fall on Chicago’s South Side

Jeremiah “The Proof” Hinton has been a steady force in Chicago’s South Side, fighting in the ring, working in the community, and creating safe spaces for youth to grow.

This fall, he’s back with his Free Youth Boxing Program, continuing his mission to give young fighters strength, discipline, and confidence that carries far beyond the ring.

The program offers age-specific classes (5–7, 8–12, 13–18) that teach boxing fundamentals, build mental focus, and strengthen discipline, all at no cost to the youth.

Through the Be The Proof Foundation, local teens are also employed and trained to help coach younger students, gaining leadership experience, communication skills, and the professionalism that comes with mentoring.

While classes are free, they’re powered by the community. Donations and sponsorships fuel training equipment, travel, and opportunities for young athletes and teen mentors alike.
