Ring Girl: 2/14/14
BY NICOLE KATO
Waipahu native Brian Viloria announced his return to the ring on March 29 against a yet-to-be-determined opponent. The four-time boxing world champion, whose record stands at 32-4 with 19 knockouts, lost his WBO and WBA flyweight belts to Juan Francisco Estrada last April in Macau, China … Those on the Leeward side are stoked that UFC Gym BJ Penn opened a second location in Waikele Shopping Center. In addition to the yoga, zumba and full-body conditioning classes, the facility also offers “kickass” kickboxing, which features Muay Thai, shadowboxing, hapkido and boxing. Call 445-9490 for more information … BOXFIT808 Boxing is offering up Boxing Basics classes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 to 10 a.m. Call Phil Ramirez at 256-1770 for more information. According to Ramirez, there’s no experience necessary to learn the “sweet science” of boxing, as well as get in a great workout.
