DALLAS – May 6, 2025 -Renowned boxing managerAdrian Clark has officially launched a unique, first-of-its-kind online course that aims to educate and develop a new era of boxing managers through theBoxing Manager Certificatecourse, which is available online now through Teachable atboxing-manager-certificate.teachable.com.

With over a decade of experience in the sport helping to guide the careers of numerous fighters, including reigning WBO Welterweight World Champion Brian Norman Jr., Clark sees his course as an opportunity to improve the sport by efficiently delivering firsthand knowledge to aspiring boxing managers. Attualmente, state commissions require no previous knowledge verification to license boxing managers, a void that this certificate can help to close.

“For the last five years, my focal point has been to implement educational programs in the boxing business,” said Clark. “This course helps to develop boxing managers and further protects fighters from being taken advantage of contractually and/or financially. The more the manager knows, the better for all parties involved in this business.”

The 46-minute online course features 15 informative videos, accompanied by multiple choice quizzes after each chapter, with chapters providing information on core tenets of boxing management including: Boxer-Manager Agreements, Managerial Percentage, Promoter Relationships, Negotiations and much more.

In addition to offering the online course, Clark plans expand upon the company’s internship program to give select prospective managers firsthand experience in the field with him through the Fighters First Management company. Per di più, Clark will be looking to expand the program through potential partnerships with or guest lecture at sports management programs throughout the country.

“Through Fighters First Management, I gained hands-on experience in supporting athletes at every stage of their careers—strategically building their personal brands, navigating negotiation processes, and crafting individualized plans that reflect their unique goals and needs,” said Noe Mendoza, un 2nd-year law student at UT-Dallas who has previously interned with Clark.

Clark’s ambition and prowess in the boxing world has been recognized for years, as he was named one of Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2016. He currently is the CEO of Fighters First Management, run alongside company President and Hall of Fame matchmaker Jolene Mizzone. In addition to his current client list featuring a world champion, top contenders and rising prospects, Clark authored“Protect Yourself At All Times”, a book that helps educate boxers on the business of the sport, is the creator ofBoxingManager.net, and will also be starting a podcast focused on the business of boxing managers.

“It was never my aim to simply be a boxing manager,” added Clark. “I’ve always wanted to transcend the position and create a demand that a sports agent has in other sports. I believe the course, the blog and podcast can turn heads towards boxing management.”

In its early days, the Boxing Manager Certificate course has already garnered success stories in the industry, including Paul Guarino, who completed the course and recently guided top contender Chordale Booker to a world title shot against unified 154-pound world champion Sebastian Fundora.

“Adrian is a stand-up professional and a relentless worker,” said Guarino. “Whenever I reach out, he provides direct and honest feedback — something I greatly respect. Despite my years of experience as a sports manager, I enrolled in the BMC course to continue refining my skill set. Iron sharpens iron, both in and out of the ring.”

Available now for $300 per manager, the Boxing Manager Certificate course offers a first-of-its-kind window into the wild world of boxing to help make sure that those who are shepherding the next generation of boxing stars, will do so with a strong base of knowledge and the ability to deliver for their clients again and again.

Introducing Shane Shapiro, CEO of No Limit Mindset, LLC.

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO

Beverly Hills, Calif. (Agosto 28, 2017) – Shane Shapiro was like most young men growing up. He had dreams and aspirations on become a professional athlete. Baseball was his game of choice, and he was excelling at it. He was a standout on the diamond and in the classroom, and a college scholarship was inevitable. Then just like that, his dreams of being the next catcher for the Dodgers were thwarted, as he was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer.

Thyroid Cancer is a very rare form of cancer, as it is found 1 in 3 million teenagers every year.
Shapiro who had surgery to remove his Thyroid, and is on medication that he has to take for the rest of his life, realized that his new purpose was to help others realize their own dreams and goals.

While going through this life and death ordeal, one world resonated in Shapiro’s mind. That was word was “Lotta”.

The metaphorical analogy between a cancer fight and a boxing ring is a cliché until you experience it for yourself. If you don’t believe it, ask Daniel Jacobs,’ said Shapiro.

Shapiro, who is from Beverly Hills, California was always a boxing fan, but never imagined himself involved with the sport.

I had this new perspective on life, that is that if you want something bad enough, you have to be prepared to die for it. To live and work in a world with these stakes with this codemimicking the truth I had discovered in my fight against cancer. I could not see any alternative.

In 2013, Shapiro began working with a few local amateur boxers.

I drove them to local tournaments, did their paperwork, motivated them and started my hands-on style.

Shapiro then formed his company No Limit Mindset.

Shapiro worked with two amateurs, which produced four national championships.

In 2014, Shapiro received a tip from a friend, and then Shapiro scouted a 20 year-old fighter named Cem Kilic. Kilic, who is of Turkish decent was living in Germany, who had competed in several international tournaments, and was a national champion.

Shapiro did his due diligence and absorbed as much information as he could on Kilic, and he saw a special fighter. A fighter with heart and hunger, and a No Limit Mindset.

With an obvious language barrier between the two, Shapiro and Kilic spoke about the fighter leaving Germany to pursue his dreams of plying his trade in the United States.

I got him a VISA without ever meeting him, and he lived with me in my apartment in Sherman Oaks.

I was an outsider in boxing with no connections, and Cem did not have a trainer. I took him to the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood. 20 Minutes after getting there, Freddie Roach agreed to give us a tryout. The next day, still jet-lagged, Cem sparred and put on a heroic performance, and Freddie agreed to train Cem.

Cem is now 8-0 con cinque ko, and has sparred with the likes of Miguel Cotto, Jean Pascal, Shane Mosley, Rob Brant, Glen Tapia, Frankie Gomez, Chris Van Heerden, Sergio Mora and Anthony Mundine.

Shapiro has added three top fighters to the No Limit Mindset stable and they are undefeated middleweight Kalvin Henderson (7-0), and most recent signee lightweight contender Mason Menard (33-2).

Shapiro, who is also working on his business administration degree from Drexel University, is also a certified agent by the National Basketball Association.

I have been a licensed boxing manager for four years, and I can already see what sets me apart from other managers. My drive for success is relentless. My style is hands on, caring, honest and profound. My fighter’s aren’t just my clients; they are family. Cem for example lives with me-although now he has his own room. I am a ferocious negotiator, and will not accept anything but the best for my fighter’s. I am not interested in short money-I’m building a stable of champions, and not chumps. We work too hard, we’ve overcome to settle for anything less.
