Kronk Gym information


Kronk Gym is a boxing gym located in Detroit, once led by trainer Emanuel Steward.[1] It was run out of the basement of the oldest recreation center of the City of Detroit, and became a household word in the sport of boxing[2] and its gold shorts a magnet to young talent following the enormous success and high profile of multiple World Champion and Boxing Hall of Famer Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns in the 1980s.

Named after Detroit City Councilman John Kronk, the training facility opened in 1921.[3] The original site closed in 2006, but it reopened in 2015.[4]
