Boxers Duke It Out To Benefit St. Paul Sergeant

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Police and firefighters from Minneapolis and St. Paul are "duking it out" for a good cause.

About 1,200 people packed around the ring at Uppercut Gym in Minneapolis for the annual "Unite and Fight."

This year, the boxing match benefits Sergeant Craig Gromek. His diagnosis of ALS and dementia forced him to retire from St. Paul after 30 years on the force.

He needs full-time help, which his family says is not covered by insurance.
