Transformative Triumph: One Boxer's Journey That Inspired a Generation

Alphonso Bailey epitomizes resilience with his motto, “down but not out.” After losing his father, he lost his way, facing incarceration. However, boxing transformed his fate. As the executive director of the Down But Not Out (DBNO) Foundation, he celebrates the grand opening of DBNO Boxing Gym on May 10, promoting youth mentorship and life skills through boxing at 5825 E. 38th St. Bailey emphasizes, “Boxing saved me,” as he guides young lives towards hope and leadership beyond the ring.
