But it’s a fight former WBO-NBO Heavyweight Champion McCline is passionate about waging, and winning. “In recent days, I've toured Belle Glade and other overlooked, under-served parts of District 20. I’ve heard heartbreaking stories from residents struggling with chronic unemployment, unacceptable crime and incarceration rates, substandard housing, under-funded schools, and a profound lack of economic opportunities. After talking to people in churches and bowling alleys and coffee shops, after information gathering sessions with city officials, I can safely say; this is a city and an entire region of District 20 that is in crisis.
