As someone who moved from Algeria to France and then to Vancouver, I often felt the need to prove that I deserved the opportunity to be somewhere. Finding a place where you truly feel like you belong means a lot.
Nearly a year ago, when I first stepped through the doors of Eastside Boxing Club, I discovered exactly that.
Starting boxing can be intimidating at first, but everyone at this club, from the coaches to the students, has been incredibly inspiring. More than that, they make you feel like you truly belong, no matter who you are or where you come from. And honestly, that’s exactly what I needed the most.
Eastside Boxing Club is a non-profit organization. That means the money you spend learning how to box also helps fund youth programs and gives kids who can’t afford it the opportunity to learn the sport. It gives them the chance to build confidence, discipline, and most importantly, pride in themselves, something every kid deserves while growing up.
So this is it!
This year, I will be participating in the Eastside Rumble.
For the next three months, I’ll be training hard and raising funds to earn my spot and fight on Fight Night on June 7th. I’m doing this not only to prove to myself that I can do it, but also to support this amazing club so it can keep doing what it does best for the community.
If you want to see me walk to the ring (punch and get punched 😅), I would love to see you there.
Today, I’m asking for your support. Every dollar helps, and I promise to give my absolute best on the journey to my first fight.
Let’s do this together.
Let’s rumble! 🥊
Hey Vancouver,
It's that time of year again... Eastside Rumble 2026!
Eastside Rumble 2026 will provide much needed funds to support Eastside Boxing Club.
Rumble fuels:
-
improved free programs and coaching for our youth
-
dedicated welfare staffing and individual and group support
-
the return of our Under 13 Buddy Program
-
increased support for our fighter team, and greater access and opportunity for young athletes — many from our youth program — who otherwise wouldn’t have the means to participate in the sport
Eastside Rumble is the primary annual fundraiser for Eastside Boxing. Every dollar raised strengthens youth programs, welfare support, coaching development, equipment upgrades, and access for young athletes who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to participate. Your 12-week journey fuels year-round impact. Rumble brings together athletes of all ages and backgrounds who are ready to test themselves in a new way. Over 12 weeks, participants commit to a real fight camp. They learn technical skills, build strength and resilience, and push past physical and mental limits they didn’t know they had. This isn’t about signing up just to fundraise. It’s about courage, discipline, and growth. It’s about showing up consistently, backing yourself, and doing something that challenges you — in the best possible way. The journey culminates in ESB Rumble Fight Night, a Vegas-style boxing event where the lights are bright, the crowd is electric, and you step into the ring in front of your community. It’s an experience few people ever get to have — the walkout, the nerves, the roar of support, and the pride that comes from knowing you earned your place there. Eastside Boxing has been a community project since its inception. The space was created to build social cohesion through sport and shared effort, bringing people together through challenge and common purpose. Eastside Rumble is our primary annual fundraiser, and the impact reaches every corner of the club. This year, we’re fighting to thrive. Rumble fuels:
Last year’s Rumble allowed us to hire and train new coaches, develop peer coaches, upgrade equipment, and improve our ring and training space. When you battle it out in the ring, you’re not just training for 12 weeks. You’re making a real difference for every person who walks through our doors. You’re strengthening a club that exists to create belonging, resilience, and opportunity no matter your background — and you’re proving to yourself that you can do hard things. This is where heart meets action. |
