Legendary Boxing Trainer Henrietta Gill
Well-known boxing trainer Henrietta Gill turns ninety-one-years-old this year. She is among the unsung heroes in Belizean sports. Gill’s passion for mentoring young men and molding them into model citizens, even if they were locked up behind prison walls, made her a role model. The athletes she trained were very good and won medals, a testament to her skillfulness. She did all this in the ‘80s and 90’s, at a time when women were not being welcomed into the sport with open arms. In tonight’s episode of Belize on Reel, News Five’s Paul Lopez looks at the contributions of Henrietta Gill to boxing in Belize.
