Several lucky summer campers were treated to a rare opportunity to learn how to box from two of boxing’s most famous fighters. Over 100 boys and girls participating in Villa Maria Academy’s summer camp program on Wednesday, July 8, learned proper boxing techniques from retired professional heavyweight boxer Gerry ‘Great White Hope’ Cooney and retired world title holder in the middleweight, super-middleweight and light heavyweight divisions, Iran ‘The Blade’ Barkley.
