On Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026, the owner of a neighborhood boxing gym in Houston's Northside, together with local community members, began a remodel to enlarge the facility and improve safety features for children. The changes are intended to create a safer space for youth following recent incidents of teen violence in the area.
The renovation is part of a wider push by Northside residents to upgrade youth facilities after a series of violent episodes involving teenagers in the community.
