Oldest Boxing GYM in America. Has much historical value to boxing in general. Great boxing champions have come from this GYM. Muhammad Ali, Jack Lamotta, and Roberto Duran to name a few. I feel the best part of this GYM is the ownership in Bruce. They have a small shop inside where they sell boxing equipment and some shirts with Gleason's name on it.
