MACON, Ga. — It's the last weekend of the Cherry Blossom Festival and Saturday's slate of events featured all kinds of fun from Carolyn Crayton Park to the boxing ring.
“All this excitement... I'm about to lose my voice already from all the hollering and screaming I've done already," said United Boxing Club director, James Hand.
United Boxing Club put on the 3rd annual Cherry Blossom Boxing Show at Freedom Park.
Over 50 boxers came to Macon to show their stuff in the ring. Hand spearheaded the event.
"It's something different for the kids to do besides playing basketball and football because everybody can't play basketball and football. But you have a few of them like me that want to do a little boxing, so we are trying to bring them out," he said.
He hopes boxing becomes bigger in Macon. If you ever want to learn how to stick and move, he offers individual and group classes at the club on Roff Avenue.
