Dan DeSantis
Head Coach | TNT Boxing Academy
Certified by Boxing Ontario and Boxing Canada
For over 15 years, Dan has been a driving force in the Guelph boxing community and brings extensive experience coaching all levels of amateur boxing, from first-day beginners to competitive fighters.
While Dan possesses a wealth of technical knowledge, his coaching philosophy lies in the foundational elements of the sport. Whether working with competitive athletes or leading high-energy youth classes, his focus is on building strong fundamentals first.
Beyond the jabs and hooks, Dan is committed to creating a positive and educational environment in his classes. Whether you are stepping into the ring to compete or simply looking to learn a new skill, TNT Boxing Academy is here to help you develop the right way.
“My goal as a coach isn’t just to build fighters; it’s to build leaders. I strive to create an atmosphere in class where students—especially our youth—feel safe to fail, learn, and grow. Discipline learned in the gym translates to everyday life, helping students grow both in and out of the ring.”
