Nile\u2019s goals for this show as well as his club are simple, \u201cThis is an opportunity for the kids in my gym to show their family and friends what exactly they have been doing in the gym.\u201d said Pena.\u00a0 <\/span>When you hear the name Pena, most think of the Davenport Boxing Club.\u00a0 <\/span>Nile Pena Boxing is not a rival club to his Grandpa\u2019s; it\u2019s actually an extension of the club for the Illinois side of the river.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI wanted to be an extension of the gym that I grew up in and helped coach for ten years,\u201d explained Pena.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI learned more about boxing from coaching than I ever did actually boxing.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Along with coaching, Pena is also a role model and mentor for his students, and he makes sure their priorities are in order.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cAll my students are required to show me their report cards,\u201d said Pena.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cSchoolwork comes first.\u00a0 <\/span>I try to stay as in touch with the parents as much as I can, and I know that for that hour they are with me, they are off the streets and safe.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Not only does Pena coach up and coming boxers, he also has many mixed martial artists that come wanting to strengthen their stand up game and he welcomes the challenge.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cIn the beginning it was a little tough,\u201d explained Pena. \u201cIn MMA there are so many aspects to the game that you have to worry about that you just don\u2019t see a boxer.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s two different though processes when strategizing for each.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>In regards to his upcoming show, Pena wants to give the fans as well as all the fighters the closest feel to a professional event as they can get.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cBoxing has been around for a long time and I want to do my part to keep it moving in the right direction.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>If you haven\u2019t treated yourself to an amateur boxing show, take this opportunity to come out and show support to all the area fighters that put so much blood sweat and tears in order to better themselves as well as provide a great event for the fans.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
