Naem Herawi, 11, comes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with Friday and Saturday as break days, but sometimes drops in "to spar."
It is a passion that extends to coaches like Kaylee Ann Knight. Herawi says Knight is 2-0 as an amateur.Knight has been boxing since she was a teenager and has been with the Lion’s Den for the past two years.
Jones says when his family opened the Lion's Den two years ago, they did it for the community and especially for the kids. This is the only boxing gym in Pittsburg, and it is a non-profit that gives back with toy drives and turkey giveaways. This gym is also a sanctuary. "I'm born and raised in Pittsburg, California," says Page, "I'm a former welterweight champion from Pittsburg, I was honored by the city and city hall, everything."
