UNC's Jeremiah Derby rolls with the punches

Posted Sep 16, 2020
Jeremiah Derby, a UNC athlete and artist, loves to wear down opponents when he steps into the boxing ring. He loves to be the most well-conditioned fighter in the bout. Normally, Derby would be sparring with the Carolina Boxing club. But since COVID-19 restrictions prevented boxing competitions in the state, he headed south to face real competition.
