— ABOUT THE MANAGER
TIYA RENEE
CEO & PROFESSIONAL BOXING MANAGER
Founded and led by Tiya Renee, Iron Ape Fist Management takes a hands-on approach to the business side of boxing — from communicating with promoters and matchmakers to negotiating bout opportunities, purses, sponsorships, and appearances.
The focus is on building long-term fighter value through strategic negotiation, contract awareness, and career planning — so fighters understand what is being offered and what it means for their career.
