Palacio Truth Boxing was built on the vision and determination of its founder, Adrian Palacio. What began over a decade ago in the family garage grew into a gym that became a home for discipline, passion, and community. Adrian’s love for boxing—and his love for his son, Christian—gave him the courage to open the doors to what would become more than just a gym, but a family for many.

On January 25th, at the age of 41, Adrian’s life was tragically cut short. His passing left a profound impact not only on his family but on the entire community that he inspired through his strength, mentorship, and unwavering spirit.

Though Adrian is no longer with us, his legacy lives on. Veronica and Christian, carrying the lessons he instilled, have taken that pain and turned it into purpose. With gloves on and hearts strong, they continue Adrian’s mission—building champions in and out of the ring while keeping his memory alive. Adrian’s words still echo within the gym, a reminder of his resilience and spirit:

“Bite down and never fold.”
