Alfred “Doc” Nowicki a successful businessman born and raised in Philadelphia has always had a love for the sport of boxing. Doc says “I love boxing and I love helping people so managing boxers allows me to be involved with both”. Doc began managing fighters over 15 years ago and has been associated with several top contenders. In 2005 Doc was introduced to Welterweight contender Mike Jones and Bantamweight Teon Kennedy. Doc carefully managed their careers allowing both fighters to fight for world championships in June of 2012. While both fighters fell short of reaching their goals, they are currently in position to earn larger paydays and to compete once again at the highest level of boxing.
Dave “Pastor Dave” Price has been an entrepreneur for the past 22 years and a Senior Pastor the last 3 years. At the age of 8 he watched the movie Rocky and has been hooked on boxing ever since. He had a brief amateur and professional career but really blossomed when teaching others. As a coach of a local gym in Philadelphia he traveled to several national tournaments, meeting talented boxers in need of representation. Dave has been involved with managing boxers for over 3 years and says “I have always loved the sport of boxing and I am so glad that I am able to help others reach their full potential”.
