“As former Victory Valley residents we appreciate the efforts that they put in on a daily basis. We know what it means to not have and we see this as a perfect opportunity to give back to our community and help maintain our strong boxing tradition,” Alphonso said.
They informed that it is such support that produced the likes of Terrence, Jestus Craig, Conrad Wilson, Colin Douglas and Pocket Rocket Coach, Rogers.
The boxers, who all attend Secondary Schools in Linden, were reminded that academia is just as important as sports, hence the need to stay in school.
