Elephant In The Room | Full Boxing Documentary
Women's History month continues! This time we have a documentary!
Devonne Canady is an amateur world champion boxer. In fact, she's the first woman to ever win gold at the amateur World Championships for the U.S. She won them at the very first ever world championships back in 2001 at 90kg. Sadly, footage from that event is sparse. So instead, we have this documentary from Canady's gym - Elephant in the Room Boxing Club in New Haven, Connecticut.
Whether in a boxing ring or hospital, Devonne Canady has always been a fighter, either as the underdog or for the underdog. In this Justin Ervin-directed documentary, we follow the former. Watch Devonne, an Olympic boxing gold medalist/pediatric nurse/boxing coach as she mentors two inner-city teenagers, Emily and Zaneta, through her non-profit gym Elephant in the Room Boxing Club.
