Coach Javi

Founder & Head Coach of ALPHABOX Boxing Gym

As the Founder and Head Coach of ALPHABOX Boxing Gym in Dallas, TX, Coach Javier Ortiz brings a lifetime of dedication and elite-level expertise to the sport of boxing. Born into a boxing family, his journey spans over 25 years in the game—as an amateur competitor as a kid, supporting friends at tournaments, operating gyms, and remaining a die-hard fan of the sweet science.

For the past 10 years, Coach Ortiz has poured his passion into teaching, working with Olympians, world champions, world-ranked professionals, national champions, kids, and women. He loves to teach and has successfully orchestrated numerous 8–10 week training camps for top-level fighters. His coaching philosophy is a refined blend drawn from the best mentors in boxing: the dominant Cuban style he learned as a young fighter and from his first coach, Lorenzo; the sharp boxer-puncher approach mentored by Garry Starks Sr. from Staten Island, New York; and the intricate tricks, details, and wisdom gained from the legendary Gene Vivero of Viveros Boxing Gym in Oak Cliff (RIP to a true legend). This unique fusion creates a complete system focused on technical precision, strategy, footwork, defense, conditioning, and unbreakable mental toughness.

At ALPHABOX, Coach Ortiz fosters a supportive, high-energy environment where athletes of all levels can grow, build confidence, and achieve their goals—whether for competition, fitness, or self-defense. Rooted in family tradition and shaped by decades of experience, he continues to honor his mentors by developing the next generation of champions in Dallas.
