BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When Carrie Barry, founder of the Corner Boxing Club and former national amateur boxing champion, opened her gym in 2014 she had a vision.

When you step into her gym, you know that she has accomplished just that and this weekend, 26 contenders will step into the ring, proving that boxing unites our community.
