Transcribed from the clipping

Israeli and Palestinian boxers train at the Maccabi Jerusalem Boxing Club in Jerusalem. Thanks to a loyal cadre of Jewish and Arab fighters who flock regularly to his stuffy gym inside a converted underground bomb shelter, Gershon Luxemburg's boxing club has become a rare melting pot that brings the warring sides closer together, one punch at a time.

Context added by this archive

The photograph and caption ran alone, without the Associated Press story that the Marshall News Messenger printed the same day. Headline field holds the caption's first sentence; the item carried no headline of its own.
