Nevada has the largest population of homeless youth in the country, and the city of Las Vegas also has many at-risk kids. Ludan Taquiqui, who mentors these young people by offering free boxing classes, is making a significant difference in their lives, both in and out of the ring.
Taquiqui, 36, lives in Las Vegas and has been boxing since 2003. It was Manny Pacquiao who inspired him to take up the sport; he looked up to him because he, too, is Filipino.
