نيويورك (سبتمبر 11, 2017) – New York State Boxing Hall of Fame inductee بروس Silverglade, special boxing program director Alex Montaldo and boxing historian Frederick Roman will be the Ring 8 guest speakers at its next monthly meeting يوم الثلاثاء ليل, سبتمبر 19 (7 عصرا. و بداية), في مطعم أونيل (64-21 53^{الثالثة} قيادة) في Maspeth, نيويورك.

“Full credit should be given to Bruce Silverglade for turning Gleason’s into arguably the top boxing gym in the world,” عصابة 8 رئيس جاك هيرش قال. “With all the great fighters who have trained there over the years, he probably will have some fascinating stories to share with us. Alex Montaldo runs a boxing program at Gleason’s for people afflicted with Parkinson’s disease. We look forward to him explaining how it works.

Frederick Romano has written a new book detailing the history of boxing on the radio, taking us back to a golden age before television came into existence. He will bring along some books for purchase at a discounted price for Ring8 members. Our three speakers should make this a very enjoyable night for the membership.”

Silverglade has owned the world-famous Gleason’s Gym since 1983. The iconic boxing gym dates back 80 سنوات, when Gleason’s Gym was originally founded in the Bronx, before moving to Manhattan from 1974 إلى 1984, then to Brooklyn in 1985, and finally into its present location in Brooklyn a year ago at 130 شارع المياه.

Many of boxing’s greats have trained at Gleason’s including Jake Lamotta, روبرتو دوران, مايك تايسون and even محمد علي, who as كاسيوس كلاي trained there for his first fight with سوني ليستون في 1964. Many actors, بما فيه روبرت دي نيرو وWesley Snipes, have also trained there for roles in movies.

Montaldo developed and operates a special program at Gleason’s Gym – stoPD (Support training to overcome Parkinson’s Disease) designed to help people with Parkinson’s Disease.

Romano has had work experience in boxing for more than 35 years as a research consultant for HBO, as well as a producer and host of a cable television show about boxing, and he is a certified amateur boxing judge in New York. Frederick will speak about boxing books – he’s written several – and movies.
