about
jon sgroi
Athlete & Founder
Born in the UK to an Irish mother and Jamaican father, Jon Sgroi grew up in a challenging environment but found an early outlet in sport. At 16, after his mother moved to Australia with his stepfather, Jon chose to follow, determined to leave negative influences behind and build a better future.
Soon after arriving, he walked into the Tszyu Gym where he was taken under the wing of coach Khalil and Australian boxing star Tim Tszyu. With six-day training weeks, two-a-day sessions and relentless discipline, Jon quickly turned raw athletic talent into results, winning multiple amateur titles.
In 2023 he joined Tim Tszyu’s Las Vegas training camp, proving he belonged among elite fighters, and a year later made his professional debut. Now undefeated as a professional, Jon Sgroi is establishing himself as a rising force in boxing — driven by discipline, work ethic, and a relentless pursuit of a world title.
