What They're Saying About BEVO BOYS

Voices from our community, mentees, and partners

"Kenneth Cole has been a very important asset to the boxing community in Memphis. He grew up in Memphis and had a very successful career in boxing. At the conclusion of his boxing career Kenneth Cole decided to give back to the community. Kenneth Cole volunteers his own time by training and mentoring the youth in the community. He has been in the ring corner as a coach for the youth and in their corner as a life coach. Kenneth Cole has a huge heart and really cares about the youth in the city of Memphis. Anyone who has followed Memphis Boxing over the years knows the name "Kenneth Cole" and speaks very highly of him. Kenneth Cole has helped turn around many lives in the community and a lot of people credit him for that."
