From a boxing club in the hills of Appalachia, comes a tale for the underdogs. McDowell County, West Virginia is consistently one of the poorest counties in the United States. This is a story of three fighters combatting poverty with the guidance of their trainer, and the drive to become more than just another negative headline.

The dire statistics are endless; overdose rates, child poverty, obesity, etc. You couldn’t tell that the fighters of this club are listening though. They are a diverse group ranging from all ages, sex, and race. An energy is felt while seeing these kids dive into the sweet science of boxing.
