Today we’d like to introduce you to Darrick Calvin.
Hi Darrick , thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
We started the Leon Calvin boxing gym in honor of my cousin Leon Calvin he’s the oldest son of former champion Leon Spinks he was murdered back in 1990 and had a promising career so we decided to open up a gym in his honor to give back plus help on youth get off the streets
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Yes it have been a smooth roll so far
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Well outside of helping the kids boxing I help my wife with her event space giving families a magical moment to enjoy each other and when I’m not doing that me and my coach Phillip and Jamal Scott or helping trying to save our youth life
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I’m most definitely a risk taker I throw boxing shows and bring Legends down to our city to talk to our kids such as evander Holyfield Michael Spinks Roberto Duran James toney Michael Nunn Ray Mercer I bring all the ledges down to talk to our kids to help keep them up the street and also the great Larry Holmes
Pricing:
- We only charge $60 the mission is not about the money it’s about keeping the kids off the streets
