Alimina is one of the emerging talents discovered by coach NJ at the club, a youth boxing gym that recently opened a large new facility in Wharf Road.

The gym is also home to other rising stars like 12-year-old Hasan Khan, 5-year-old Tyrell Henry, 6-year-old Tiana-Rose Henry and 13-year-old Cole Harrington.

The club provides fitness and discipline for youth ages 5-16 through boxing, helping kids gain confidence, skills and purpose and works closely with families and schools.

Added Donna: “Revive Interiors believes in NJ's mission. We proudly sponsor talented youth like Alimina as an investment in the health and growth of the area's youth.”
