The Nolan Bros
Founders and head coaches of Nolan Bros Boxing, Matt and Mark have a long and storied history in the sport. Having grown up in the the gym at Somerville Boxing Club throughout much of the 90’s and early 2000’s, the Bros have been members of USA Boxing for north of 20 years. Having competed as amateurs, they obtained their USA boxing coaches passbooks in March of 2004. Nolan Bros Boxing was founded by Matt and Mark and formally opened its doors in 2017. The brothers believe in the importance of a system, and their fight team has grown to be one of the largest in New England. Producing numerous amateur champions annually (winning Novice Team of the Tournament in the 2024 Golden Gloves) and building a growing stable of pros, the brothers feel as though they’re just warming up. Beyond growing the gym, Matt Nolan has become a premier professional boxing promoter in Massachusetts and continues to put on some of the biggest fights at the best venues in Boston. Matt is roughly an inch taller than Mark, and he reminds him every chance he gets.

Alex McFarland
Al’s journey at Nolan Bros Boxing started like most – in their ever-popular group fitness classes. From the first crack at a heavy bag it was clear, this would be her home for many years to come. Not long after she found herself between the ropes soaking up every second of the sweet science. Falling in love with the magical blend of violence and technique she vowed to spend every moment she could learning anything Matt and Mark would teach her. It’s been 6 years and while Al’s amateur boxing career is behind her, she’s found that her true talents are best served ringside as a coach. Nowadays you’ll find Al behind the ropes working with some of NBB’s newest prospects and veterans or “on the mic” leading the charge in some of NBB’s hottest fitness classes. She’s currently seeking both personal training certification and an athletic trainers degree.

Kori “KB” Brown
Born in Baltimore, MD, raised in Buffalo, NY, KB has been training with Nolan Brothers Boxing since 2019.
KB has always been involved in sports as a 3 sport athlete in high school followed by playing basketball at Hamilton College. Upon completing his BA in Government, the decision was made to move to Boston. KB continued to scratch his competitive sports itch playing semi-pro football and working out until he discovered the ultimate physical and mental challenge, boxing.
KB’s love of boxing initiated from his participation in Haymakers for Hope’s 2018 Rock ’N Rumble VIII event where he fought for his cousin Major General Alfred ’Bud” Stewart who passed away from brain cancer at the age of 55. Following his Haymakers fight KB was undecided whether to pursue boxing competitively. On a whim, even though he didn’t train at NBB for Haymakers, KB reached out to Matt & Mark to simply see if he could be involved with the gym or perhaps learn to coach. From the moment he stepped through the NBB doors after deciding to get involved in the sport again, he was hooked. KB continues to compete as a USA Boxing Masters boxer and looks forward to continuing to push the sport forward as a member of the NBB family. KB is the 2021 201 lb Gleason’s International Masters Tournament champion, the 2021 201 lb Rocky Marciano Masters Tournament Champion, the 2022 203 lb Rocky Marciano Masters Tournament Champion, the 2023 203 lb Western New England Masters Golden Gloves Champion, the 2024 203+ lb Western New England Masters Golden Gloves Champion and the 2024 203+ lb Boston National Masters Champion.

Maya Jones Berasaluce
Maya has been a proud member of the Nolan Bros Boxing community since 2018! With a background in child development and social work, Maya jumped at the opportunity to coach youth boxing and share her love of fitness with kids, helping them build confidence, character, and skill. Maya found her way to boxing in a search for physical empowerment and immediately found Nolan Bros to be the place that would foster her own growth and strength development. After finding some of her best friends inside of these walls, Maya remarks that the gym is truly a home away from home and is essentially a walking billboard for NBB.

Cam Rohan
For Cam, Nolan Bros Boxing was more than just a gym—it changed her life! What started with a friend’s invitation to a Punches & Crunches bags class, quickly grew into a deep love for the sport, and after consistent training she joined the fight team. Along the way, Mark and Matt, her teammates, fellow coaches, and the NBB community created a space that felt like a home away from home.
Cam has always loved athletics – she was a track & field captain in high school, competitive Irish dancer, played AAU basketball, and has been lifting in the gym for many years. Her own health journey of losing 100 lbs inspired her to become a certified integrative nutrition Health Coach, where she now works with clients ranging from those managing metabolic health & chronic illness to high-performance athletes. She is also currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Nutrition Science & Policy at Tufts University.
Her classes are high intensity but encouraging, always pushing members to discover new limits, and reminding them that wellness should be as fun as it is transformative.
