Father, Son Pack Local Punch in Cincy Boxing Book
Did you know that the first heavyweight boxing championship with gloves was held in Cincinnati, or that UC's former boxing team evolved from the university's co-op program?
Those tantalizing tidbits, and many more, are featured in "Cincinnati Boxing," written by sports researcher Kevin Grace UC head of Archives & Rare Books and adjunct assistant professor for the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services and his son, McMcMicken alumnus Joshua Grace, who earned a psychology degree in 2000. Joshua Grace now works in academic records in Xavier's registrar's office.
The foreword of the book is written by Cincinnati icon Buddy LaRosa (son of boxer Tony LaRosa), who has supported Cincinnati boxing as a manager, promoter and philanthropist.
