Mike Baresse

Mike Baresse began his fighting journey nearly two decades ago when he quickly found his passion for boxing. With great love for the sport, Mike competed as frequently as he could and soon had fights, both amateur and professional, under his belt. Mike has been with Pride Lands for almost its entirety and was eventually recognized for his skill; he then took on the role of boxing coach– a title he has held for several years. Along with boxing, Mike has been actively involved in jiu-jitsu for over a decade and was promoted to Brown Belt in April of 2023. Mike still enjoys competing in grappling events, but he has mainly been focused on instructing boxing classes and teaching new students vital techniques he picked up over the years.
