Inspired by this philosophy, the Lennox Lewis League of Champions Foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities, inspiring hope, and shaping the leaders of tomorrow. Through initiatives like Knights in the Ring, Lennox and Violet Lewis are championing the dreams of young people worldwide, using the transformative power of boxing, mentorship, and life skills training to help them rise above challenges and achieve their full potential.
Knights in the Ring Initiative
The Knights in the Ring initiative is a flagship program that seamlessly combines the art of boxing with essential life skills training, equipping young individuals with the tools to succeed both inside and outside the ring. The initiative created and developed by Violet Lewis – who holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work – focuses on developing key areas critical for personal and professional growth.
- Conflict Resolution
- Critical Thinking
- Effective Communication (Listening and Speaking)
- Nutrition and Physical Health
- Career and Academic Readiness
- Character Development (discipline, focus, self-confidence, and self-esteem)
At the heart of the LOCF’s mission is a commitment to raising funds to build recreational boxing clubs for youth and provide resources that improve communities and transform the lives of underserved children in Jamaica, the UK, Canada, and the United States. Through the Knights in the Ring program, the foundation addresses the urgent need for safe, engaging, and supportive spaces where young people can learn, grow, and build resilience during the critical hours when they are most vulnerable to negative influences.
Join us in supporting the LOCF’s mission to build brighter futures for underserved youth and strengthen communities across the globe. Together, we can make a lasting impact—one punch, one lesson, and one life at a time.
“I am driven to give young people the same opportunities I had growing up due to the generosity of strangers that helped guide me. I am here today a product of generosity, and this is why it is important for me to give back.”
