DES MOINES – Boxers from all over the midwest met in the ring. Sarge’s Westside Boxing Club hosted a competition known as The Franklin. That’s because it’s located on Franklin Avenue.
Iowa made some history at the competition, as the first boxer over 40 competed in the masters division. Our state has never broken that threshold before.
“I think this is a good venue for it. for the mere fact that you’re able to view it just hear it live. and see live amateur boxing,” said Kervin Veasley, the owner of Sarge’s Westside Boxing Club. “and then you can learn about the sport and everything and you see more from the coaches.”
Kervin says this event always helps them recruit more people to join the gym for boxing.
