Boxers Prepare to "Knock out Homelessness"

Posted: Updated:
By Emily Welsh - email

This February will be round six of the City Missions' "Knock out Homelessness" boxing match.

Our own meteorologist Rob Wilson was in the gym on Saturday, training with champion boxer Lou Bizzarro and some of his competitors.

The fundraiser will be February 19th at the Bayfront Convention Center.

John Barber is ready to put on a good show for a good cause. He's getting into the ring for the first time.

He said he's grateful to have a chance to help out the City Mission, and is excited for everyone to get to see him knock out Lou Bizzarro in the third round.  

The match always brings in some heavyweight funds for the mission; this year they're aiming to raise $50,000.
