Fernando Laspina opened El Maestro Boxing Gym as a way to bring his community together and keep young people away form gang violence
"My ancestors, just like me, came from Puerto Rico and they established themselves here," Laspina said."Like musicians, educators, boxers."Gang life, street fights, and a two-year prison sentence soon followed.
That life history is why Laspina and his gym are more focused on nurturing kids than training boxers. He's a life coach and his gym is a community center.
