Getting off the mat: How three individuals turned Penn State club boxing into a national force

By day, Osahon Omo-Osagie is a special education teacher at Park Forest Elementary School.

By night, he’s camped in the White Building, yelling at Penn State students to help them improve at punching each other in the face.

Apparently, it pays off. This April, Omo-Osagie, 36, of State College , returned to West Point, New York with nine of his Penn State Boxing Club athletes for the National Collegiate Boxing Association National Championships.

Between the two women and seven men who represented Penn State Boxing Club, the boxers walked away from 2018 NCBA National Championship as one of the winningest teams the club has ever had.
