Downtown Boxing Gym engages Detroit’s disadvantaged youths to become good citizens through rigorous boxing programs. They have about 65 children in the program, with 320 children on the waiting list.
They recently relocated to a 27,500 sq. ft. converted book bindery on Vernor Hwy. where they hope to include up to 150 students by 2017.
The world famous rapper is receiving renewed national attention for contributing “Phenomenal” and “Kings Never Die” to the Southpaw soundtrack. Southpaw is about a boxing champion with a happy life, who loses it all through tragic misfortunes and poor personal choices, but fights his way back to the top. The lead was offered to Eminem, but it was given to Jake Gyllenhaal instead because Eminem chose to give more attention to his album, “The Marshall Mathers LP 2,” which was released in 2013.
