ใน 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 แชมป์โลก, บางที, the most noteworthy were โทมัส Hearns, เลนน็อกซ์ลูอิส และ Wladimir Klitschko.

The last world champion Manny trained was อิเหนา “ยอดมนุษย์” สตีเวนสัน, who remains the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) World light heavyweight champion since 2013.

“Emanuel would always say, knockouts ขาย!” 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,” กล่าว Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “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.”
