Who I Am

DANTE KIRKMAN.

Dante Kirkman is a professional boxer from Palo Alto, California and a graduate of Stanford University. Dante is the first ever Stanford undergraduate to become a professional boxer.

He had his professional debut during his senior year and is currently undefeated with a record of 7-0 with 3 KOs. Among middleweight fighters with fewer than 10 bouts, he ranked #4 in the USA and #60 in the world.

Dante is also the only Stanford student to compete for a spot on the USA Olympic Boxing team. He was one of a dozen elite amateur fighters selected to compete in the 2024 USA Boxing Olympic Trials and he placed at the Bronze level in that competition. Dante started boxing at the age of 10, emulating his father, who had been an amateur boxer himself.

STANFORD GRADUATE.
UNDEFEATED FIGHTER.

Dante’s elite boxing background places him in the unique position to apply his deep domain expertise to training others. In a field where anyone can say they are a boxing trainer, very few actually have any meaningful credentials, much less at the elite level like Dante, whose expertise puts him on the level of the top trainers in the sport.

In addition to his exceptional boxing knowledge, he has acquired advanced nutrition and recovery strategies through his sponsorship affiliations with SNAC Nutrition and Regencore non-surgical sports medicine practice. He volunteers with the Rock Steady boxing non-profit to support boxing therapy for individuals with Parkinson’s, and he serves as a mentor to the Stanford Boxing Team as well as to countless youth in the community.
