The Tribal Boxing Club is marking its 75th year of training and members of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan.
The club has trained several state champions. While the winners have mostly been young men, young girls are joining in hopes of making their mark in the ring.
The tribe recently allocated $17,000 to renovate the old barn where training takes place.
