Step into the historic grounds where legends were forged and history was written. We cordially invite you to the historic Floyd Patterson Estate, the sanctuary where icons like Floyd Patterson, Tracy Patterson, Muhammad Ali, Ingmar Johansson, Mike Tyson and George Foreman once sparred and gathered. This landmark serves as the headquarters for Home of Champions, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of young people through mentorship and leadership development. By joining us, you are not only honoring the golden age of boxing but also supporting a vital mission to ensure our youth have the tools to become the champions of tomorrow.
Come experience the legacy and help us invest in the next generation of greatness!

Home of Champions is situated in New Paltz, New York, located in the former home of and training facility of heavyweight boxing world
champion Floyd Patterson. It also served as a training camp for two undisputed world heavy weight champions, Muhammad Ali and Ingemar Johansson as well as Patterson’s son, Tracy Harris Patterson. The home has a history of facilitating world famous champions and serves as a symbol of top achievement.
The home’s history will be an inspiration for our champions. Our goal is to continue this legacy, and the boxing and training facility will be converted into the Home of Champions Community Center which will house leadership, holistic health, and creative arts seminars.
Home of Champions is a 501 c3 non-profit organization with a mission to provide a “home base” for New York City and New York State youth ages 18 – 24 who are emerging from the foster care system.
