PUMPED: Therese Bjornaas, from Norway, takes a class on Tuesday at the Biscayne Boxing and Fitness Club.
HIT ME: Jennifer Smith boxes with trainer
Mickey Demos, Jr., a UM law alumnus.
DETERMINED: Vaughan Francis, a member
of the Biscayne Boxing and Fitness Club,
does a squat jump exercise on Tuesday.
There’s a gym in downtown Miami that holds a
missing piece of Hurricane sports history.
Take a step inside on any given day and you’ll find
Mickey Demos Jr. leading a class of amateur boxers
lined up behind a dozen or so boxing bags. His inten-sity
during the hour-long sessions is unwavering and
it drives participants forward during grueling finishes
full of push-ups.
Demos Jr. is an instructor at Biscayne Boxing and
Fitness Club on Biscayne Boulevard. He gets his en-thusiasm
from his love for the sport. His father, Mick-ey
Demos Sr. is in the University of Miami Sports Hall
of Fame for his years spent representing the orange
and green in the ring.
Yes, before Howard Schnellenberger made Uni-versity
of Miami football a marquee program, before
Ron Fraser brought championships to the baseball
diamond, the winning tradition associated with the
Miami Hurricanes was boxing.
“That was actually the first sport to put UM on
the map nationally,” said Demos Jr., referring to the
success of the boxing team in the 1940s and ‘50s, be-fore
the NCAA dropped boxing as a sport in 1960.
