Rahman In Rochester!

This item about Baltimore's own Hasim Rahman comes from Fightnews.com:

Last Friday, WBC heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman addressed 700 students at the East Ridge High School in Rochester, NY. "The Rock" advised them to work hard and stay in school. "If you apply yourself, you can accomplish all your dreams," proclaimed Rahman. "I am the perfect example."

Following the assembly, Rahman traveled across town to the Roc Boxing and Fitness Center, where he spared with legendary champion, and Rochester resident, Carmen Basilio. Hasim, who is training in Rochester, will face challenger James Toney on March 18, 2006, in Atlantic City, NJ. The bout will be presented by Top Rank and broadcast live on HBO.
