This gym is part of the project initiated by passionate Uruguayan promoter Sampson Lewkowicz, who conceived the "Sembrando Campeones" (Sowing Champions) project, which has included a silver medal for local hero Atheyna Bylon, a "Clean and Contactless Boxing" project for children and adolescents, event cards in Panama City, support for Panamanian boxing with sports equipment from its "Rival" brand, and opportunities for various Isthmus boxers to appear in major arenas around the world.
