Boxers "Punch for Peace" at Sawyer Point

Promoter Andrew Williams said the youth boxing series, which features competitors aged 8-24, is meant to make children contenders in life by giving them a new method of conflict resolution. “There’s not a lot of outlets for our kids,” said Williams, president of the Oasis City Boxing Club. “Boxing is something that you can come and get involved in. … These kids can come and enjoy a sport and learn a little discipline, nutrition — there’s a lot of pieces to boxing that they can equate and use in their lives.”
