In Khali's Corner: The Story of the Downtown Boxing Gym

In 2007, street-smart and charismatic Khali Sweeney scraped together enough money to convert an old car wash into a bare-bones boxing gym. His mission was to give youth from the mean streets of Eastside Detroit a safe place to receive boxing training and tutoring services. Today, as he moves into a state-of-the-art facility, he can be proud of the 100 percent high school graduation rate and national champions he has produced.
