COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Marraskuu 19, 2018) – Myöhässä Emanuel Steward, arguably the greatest boxing trainer of all-time, is a member of the Class of 2018 osallistuminen Yhdysvaltain Boxing Alumni Association -säätiön halliin.
Toinen vuosittainen USA-nyrkkeilyalumniyhdistys ry: n kuuluisuuden hallin vastaanotto, pidetään yhdessä 2018 USA: n nyrkkeily eliitin ja nuorten kansalliset mestaruuskilpailut sekä Junior ja Prep Open, Joulukuu 2-8, pidetään joulukuussa 7, Radisson-hotellissa (215 S. Temple St.) kaupungissa Salt Lake City, Utah.
Steward was a boxer, trainer extraordinaire, and HBO commentator until his untimely death in 2012 iässä 68. His boxing career culminated with his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996.
Iässä 12, Manny moved with his mother from West Virginia to Detroit, where his life soon turned to boxing. Amatöörinä nyrkkeilijä, he compiled a 94-3 ennätys, korostettu kulta-mitali suorituskyvyn 1963 National Golden Gloves Tournament as a bantamweight, but he decided against trying out for the US Olympic Boxing Team.
Sisään 1971, Steward became a part-time trainer at Kronk Gym, where he eventually guided many of the country’s top amateur boxers. Kronk Gym later became a property of Steward’s and he developed it into one of the most successful and famous boxing gyms in the world.
Steward also served as National Director of Coaching for USA Boxing in the early 2000’s.
Throughout his incredible career, Steward reportedly trained 41 maailmanmestarit, ehkä, the most noteworthy were Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis ja Wladimir Klitschko. He also trained Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, ja Mike McCallum. Manny also trained a young Detroit rapper, Eminem, how to box at Kronk Gym.
The last world champion Manny trained was Adonis “Supermies” Stevenson, who remains the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) World light heavyweight champion since 2013.
“Emanuel would always say, aihiot myy!” Stevenson fondly remembered. “He was also the first to tell me, ‘You will be a superstar and a world champion. Just make sure you don’t listen to people with bad intentions because you’ve got natural talent.’ He believed in me even if some people did not think I would ever become a world champion.”
“Emanuel Steward impacted the lives of so many who walked through the doors of Kronk Gym,” sanoi Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Associationin pääjohtaja. “While he’s most recognized for his achievement at the professional level, his impact was significant in the amateurs. Manny serves as a model coach for USA Boxing today, and his impact will be felt for a long time. The USA Boxing Alumni Association overwhelmingly supports his induction and looks forward to honoring him as part of this year’s Hall of Fame class.”

“For years he would come to my National Silver Gloves Tournament that I sponsored and put on in Kansa City just to show his support of the youth program,” added USA Boxing president Johannes Ruskea lisä-. “Every year I would tell him to let me know if he was coming, so I could VIP him, and every year he would ignore me and just quietly show up. I would notice him in the crowd. I would ball him out and then we did the same thing the following year.
“I also used to see him at big fights and he would always make me feel special by saying my company saved boxing in the seventies and eighties by providing safe, well-made, fair priced boxing equipment for the sport. No one else ever gave me that recognition. He was humble and not a blowhard, my kind of guy.”
Emanuel Steward left his mark on earth, not only as a multi-faceted personality in boxing, but he’s also remembered for his magnanimous charity work in Detroit, in which he helped youths in their pursuit of education.
Lyhyesti, vaikka, he taught boxing, and nobody has ever done it any better.
