Among the contenders at the upcoming NY Daily News Golden Gloves Boxing event will be a Glen Cove pugilist, Raul Nuncio. Raul has had two fights in the current Golden Gloves tournament and has won both by unanimous decision.

Trainer Tim Lane said, "Raul is only the third fighter that I have had the pleasure to train and I have to say that he has everything it takes to win the tournament this year." Tim is a World Kickboxing Champion, and he and Raul train at Island Fitness in Glen Cove, as well as at gyms around Long Island and in Brooklyn.
