POW! Gym Chicago’s very own Coach Anthony Schleicher made an unforgettable statement in his professional kickboxing debut, securing a dominant victory and proving that his skill, discipline, and relentless work ethic are second to none.
Stepping into the ring for his pro-fight March 8, 2025 in Hammond, Indiana, showcased the same precision, power, and fight IQ that he instilled in his 2023-2024 winning streak. His performance reflected the blueprint his Coach Austin Lewis laid out. Anthony's technical striking, movement, and pure determination were obvious during the evening bout.
This win adds another major accomplishment to an already decorated career. In 2024, Coach Anthony won the Gold Medal at the Pan American Championship in Santiago, Chile, solidifying his place among the best in the sport. He also held the 2024 USA Muay Thai and WAKO title in the 72kg division, proving his dominance across multiple combat platforms.
Beyond his achievements in the ring, Coach Anthony is also a passionate local Chicago artist, bringing the same creativity and intensity to his artwork as he does to his training and coaching. His ability to blend athleticism with artistic expression makes him a true force both inside and outside the gym.
This victory is not just a win for Coach Anthony, but a testament to the culture of excellence at POW! Gym Chicago. His journey from coach to competitor at the pro level is an inspiration to everyone training under his guidance.
Join us in celebrating Coach Anthony Schleicher’s incredible achievement—this is just the beginning!
