'I'm going to keep going until I drop,' Groves, who's from West Virginia, said. 'There's action, there's passion, their skill. Boxing at the highest level is an art.'
The center of the boxing universe welcomes people from all over the world. As for the locals who pass it every day, this weekend is always a knockout win for the economy.

'One of the local pizzerias says he sells 40 pizzas just in the hour before the parade begins,' Mayor of the Village of Canastota Roseanne Warner said. 'So it's a big impact for the village and we're really proud to have the honor of having the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota.'
The village is expecting a bigger crowd than usual for Sunday's parade because actress Sydney Sweeney is the grand marshal.
'So, Sydney Sweeney being Christy Martin, that is wow,' Hall of Fame boxer Christy Martin said. 'I mean she is so hot right now and to have her come here and be part of this weekend is over the top exciting.'
Sydney Sweeney is playing Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic about Martin's life.
Sunday's Parade of Champions steps off at noon.
