Boxing runs in the Harrison blood. SuperBad Boxing Gym is the result of a promise kept — and a Detroit institution built to last.
SuperBad Boxing Gym was founded on Detroit's west side as a positive outlet for kids and a serious home for fighters. The gym carries forward the teachings of the late Ali Salaam — father, trainer, and the heart of the family — who passed in 2020.
"I made a promise to my dad that if anything ever happened to him, I'd take over his gym," says head coach L.J. Harrison. "We've been doing this boxing thing for years — and now we've become a powerhouse."
With professional fighters going back to their father and grandfather, the Harrisons turned knowledge passed down through three generations into a program that produces national champions year after year.

A west-side gym that's become a powerhouse — developing national champions and giving Detroit's youth a place to belong.
