Help Set the World Record for Biggest Boxing Class

Patriot Boxing and Fitness of Mokena needs at least 500 people to join in their boxing class, in an effort to make the Guinness Book of World Records—and support two causes.

If you've always wanted your name in the Guinness Book of World Records, here's your chance. 

Patriot Boxing and Fitness is calling on anyone and everyone to join in its crack at the largest boxing fitness class, to be held Sunday, May 18 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Lincoln-Way North High School, 19900 Harlem Ave.

The event is free for all, and the first 500 participants receive a free T-shirt. Any donations received will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, and C.A.S.A. child advocate charities.

"The idea is not to make it the hardest fitness class in the world, the idea is to make it a fun and healthy way to help support two great causes," according to the website.
