TONY PALAFOX

Anthony “Tony” Palafox trained the U.S. Navy first female — Triva Pino — to ever win an All American Forces boxing championship in 2005. Two other elite female amateurs that he trained were Lisa Martin, a 2002 125-pound bronze medalist in the United States national amateur championships, and Vikki Marlow, who won a bronze at 147 pounds in 2002 and a silver at 154 pounds in 2003 at the same championships. Martin later became a fairly successful professional boxers.

He also trained professional boxer Frankie Sanchez of Denver, Colo. Sanchez barely missed being a selectee on Season #2 of the reality boxing television show The Contender. Boxing since he was a pre-adolescence, Palafox says that he turned down a professional career because negotiations about pay fell through.
Palafox is also a skilled trainer in kick boxing and Mauy Thai. He is in high demand with amateur and professional boxers from around the USA, Europe and Mexico coming to him. Even college and professional football players — wanting to learn boxing training techniques as cross training — inquire about Palafox. Palafox has also assisted with the training of Joey Gilbert of Season #1 of The Contender Show.
Palafox has also assisted in the training of Zach Cutler — a selectee for the television reality show searching for the “Next American heavyweight champion.” The show primarily features ex-college football players being taught and trained to compete in professional boxing matches that will leave to competing for world title belts.
Palafox teaches proper striking techniques and some of the tricks of the trade of boxing to MMA combatants:
Dean Lister, Shannon Gugerty, Toby Imada, Greg Mcintyre, Diego Sanchez, Saulo Ribeiro, Xande Ribeiro, Hermes Franca, Jeremy Stephens, Rani Yahya, Joe Duarte, and Pat Speight.
Dean Lister is one of the most popular top guns in MMA. He is a King Of The Cage world title belt holder.
Palafox is a native of San Diego, California, where he resides and trains at a very popular, elite gym.
