It’s fitting that the Hawaii International Boxing Club’s home base is built with simple concrete bricks because that’s where the blue-collar values of discipline and hard work, in that particular order, are reinforced every day.
Sergio Mamone runs the HIBC, basically, out of a backyard training room at his house near Panaewa Gym, where the duty of mixed martial arts preparation begins at 5 a.m. and doesn’t stop until a late-night session has been completed.
Six HIBC members are fighting at Just Scrap at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Edith Kanakaole Multipurpose Stadium.
