Legendary Beltway Coach 'Thunder' Hughes Profiled in City Paper!

The Washington City Paper has a wonderful article on one of the true legends of the Beltway Boxing community -- Eugene "Thunder" Hughes.  Writer Chris Opfer details how Mr. Hughes has managed to keep his Midtown Youth Academy operating despite the many years of change along the 14th Street corridor of Northwest DC.

Mr. Hughes is one of the truly great men that I have had the pleasure to meet in this business!
