About Northside Boxing Gym

In the early days, Northside was a beacon of light in a working-class community where aspiring boxers came from differing ethnic and social backgrounds to learn the ‘sweet science. ’ Politics and religion were left at the door. Youngsters would arrive at the club for the first time, angry, often from poor or broken homes. With guidance from the trainers, they developed confidence and the realization that they no longer needed to look for battles.
