You won't get to tour the original Kronk- it's closed down.
I've met Tommy Hearns and his son Ronald. I kinda met Floyd Mayweather Jr at the Detroit leg of his press conference with Oscar de La Hoya, May Jo Sanders (incredibly quiet, but it was just before her last fight), Emmanuel Stewart and a local junior welterweight whose name is escaping me just now.

It closed down at the end of '06 beginning of '07. The city is strapped for fund and looking to cut costs. It stayed open as long as it did because Steward was digging into his own wallet to keep it open. The straw that broke the camel's back was looters breaking in to steal copper piping. Apparently, the building is so old it's difficult to secure. The fighters train at other Kronk gyms, but they aren't THE Kronk.

Iv'e been to Gleasons twice when visiting New york & owner Bruce Silverdale made us very wellcome. we spent a couple of hours there each time chatting to boxers & trainers.It's really full of atmosphere. When I was in Vegas for the Hatton fight i went to Johnny Tacos Gym & was gutted to find it closed
Went to the Boxing writers awards, after went to Stringfellows with Gary Mason Colin Mc Millan and Micheal Watson. They were into the swing of things I was in the mood to chill with a drink on my own. They have cubicles, I went to one at the end away from the crowd to be on my own, sat down and out of the shadows this voice said you okay said yes fine, just looking for a bit of peace and qiute. Me to said the voice, spent 30 minutes talking to Marvin Hagler Then he said got to go the wife will wonder where the fuck Ive Got to![]()
