LAFAYETTE – Crowley Kiwanis Boxing Club boxers Luke Duhon and Tyrese Cormier strutted their stuff recently at the Governor’s Games at Lafayette High.
Duhon, an 8-year old, won the championship in the 60-pound-and-under, ten-bout division, earning a stunning unanimous decision over Backstreeet Boxing Club’s Vontraious Monette in the finals on Father’s Day.
Cormier, fighting in the 60-pound-and-over, 10-bout division, won unopposed due to no opponent in his age, weight and experience class.
