Champion Boxing Trainer Guides Dubiansky to UCA Title

Alan Kemp first entered a boxing gym at the age of 8 after winding up on the losing end of several skirmishes with bullies in his tough Buffalo, New York neighborhood. His father Al, a former boxer and experienced trainer, thought it time for his young son to learn how to defend himself. Under his watchful eye and careful tutelage, Alan spent the next years transforming himself from a slight boy into a fine practitioner of what his father called the “Sweet Science” – or, the Art of Boxing.

By the time he was 15, Alan had won the first of three Golden Gloves Boxing Championships. As a two-time Open Class Champion he competed in two National Golden Gloves tournaments and went on to claim 45 wins in 52 bouts during a six year Amateur career. Eventually becoming a Professional Middleweight standout, Kemp attained a record of 12 victories and 2 defeats, scoring 11 knockouts. His two losses coming from battles with former National Amateur Champion, Morris Jordan and Olympic Gold Medal Winner, Ronnie Harris.

Kemp was inducted into the Buffalo Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011 and has been a USA Boxing Certified Coach in Southern California for 10 years. He has coached boxers at No Limits, American Boxing Gym, LA Boxing, South Coast Martial Arts/Walking Tall Foundation, Grampas Boxing Club and others. Kemp currently trains Amateur and Professional boxers, including Orange County’s Chris Dubiansky, the UCA Super Heavyweight Champion and Daniel Kim, the 2012 National Invitational Blue & Gold Novice Light Welterweight Champion and popular local Professional.
