You have seen articles written about Gary Russell, Jr., the amateur boxing sensation from Capitol Heights.
In today's Washington Post, there is a nice article about the whole family, focusing on the father, Gary Russell, Sr. The article was written by Les Carpenter.
This is the second nice piece written by the Post on the amateur scene in recent months. The Washington Post Magazine had a wonderful story about Barry Hunter and the job he has done with the Headbangers Gym back in November.
Unfortunately, as the Carpenter story points out, Russell and Hunter are rivals and this is why Gary, Jr. did not participate in the recent USA meet against Belarus at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie.
But today's story is a nice read.
