    Kronk Gym CLOSED!

    Keith Lee long time trainer at the Kronk has closed the doors to the gym and has stated he's not sure they will ever open!
    Boxing has deminished its populsarity over the past 20 years more so than ever before.There used to be a boxing gym in ever major city and town. Now its tuff to find a gym at all! Very sad to see the Kronk name eliminated from competition in the amatuers & pros! My kids and I loved to compete against the Kronks kids, they came to fight!! Ray Corso.

    That's a shame.

    It was a true part of boxing history.

          There seem to be very few great gyms and trainers left these days. Sad indeed. I wish more retired boxers could carry on the tradition and pass down what they were taught by their trainers.

              Too bad, someone should have bought it and made it the Kronk museum.

                You're really insecure. Combat sports as a whole don't have a lot of activity for fighters. Even MMA and Kickboxing are struggling with finding a lot of fighters. The sport is growing, but the fighter numbers are dwindling. So many people find other things that are safer, and easier to find success in.
