perception of paris the suburbs but the outlook for its young people. Training is just getting under way at the Deadly Boxing Club and sixteen year old at leo is warming up he trains every day together with his three siblings. And i e says proud that she can take heart she especially loves her pink boxing gloves. At leon who will finish High School Next Year takes his education seriously but boxing here in luck on the outskirts of paris is his life. Off a lot of my big brother started boxing and i went along with him so he took me under his wing and ive been boxing for five years now. Looks at the brokenness uncle.
