But today the Journal News has a rare bit of feature reporting on New Rochelle, a story on a local boxing team which relocated to downtown last summer.

Main Street was opened July 1 as a boxing and personal-training gym by Stellate, a former trainer of celebrities on the West Coast. At the same time, O’Leary was in the process of moving his small boxing team from Westchester Boxing Club in White Plains to another gym in the Bronx. He happened to pass Main Street one day and got to talking with Stellate. The owner told him to bring the team there instead. From there, it expanded rapidly.

The girl dressed in a pink boxing outfit has nothing to do with the story; the photo is just a shameless way to draw attention to the article. Apparently it worked because you are reading this!
