Local Amateur Open Class Boxers

 

There are some fine boxers in the Tidewater area who do not get the recognition that they deserve.  While not all of them are champions, they all are competitors.  Perhaps they may be future champions or maybe it’s not to be.  In any case, by putting on the gloves and stepping into the ring, they earn the right to be recognized.  I intend to help in this recognition by publishing profiles on the area boxers.  The starting point will be with the open class boxers.  When a novice class boxer enters the open ranks, the profile on that boxer shall be posted.
