Dana Rivera has run Footwork Mastery and Defense & Counters at Ironbound since the gym opened, and has worked the corner for over 200 amateur and professional bouts.
Her coaching philosophy centers on defense as offense — every fighter she trains leaves able to create an opening off a slip or a roll, not just avoid getting hit.
She splits her week between coaching sessions and cornering fighters on fight nights across the region.
