The police department of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona has started a boxing program for youth on the reservation.
The program is the brainchild of Samuel Lopez Jr. and Steven Garcia, two tribal police officers.
They hope to turn young tribal members into champion boxers as soon as they find a suitable gym.
The Pascua Yaqui Boys and Girls Club already got into the action by meeting the father-and-son boxing duo of Hector Camacho Jr. and Hector Camacho Sr.
