Issaquah Black History Month – Alex Bunema Professional Boxer

 

“You know, that’s one thing I love about Issaquah. They accepted me for me. They were very encouraging. Every fight I had in Seattle, always been sold out. Always been sold out. My first title I ever won–that was in Issaquah. My manager, every time we would go to a press conference or whatever, he said ‘This is Issaquah’s adopted son. We adopted him. He’s ours.’” -Alex “The Technician” Bunema, professional boxer who lived in Issaquah for about four years from the late 90s-early 2000s.
