Product Description
In its forty-year being, the 5th Street Gym housed the training grounds for three of the greatest fighters the sport has ever known – Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, and Sugar Ray Leonard – and became the locus for a grand total of fourteen world champions. The site was also a magnet for a wide range of international celebrities including Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Jackie Gleason, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, and Sylvester Stallone, who were all absorbed into the gym’s legend. The 5th Street Gym’s beginnings trace back to 1950, when Chris Dundee, along with his brother Angelo, started promoting huge-time boxing at Miami Beach. “Tales from The 5th Street Gym” includes a wealth of never-before-seen photographs and is the first to chronicle the fascinating history of the 5th Street Gym from one of its insiders – Dr. Ferdie Pacheco – with crucial contributions from Tom Archdeacon, Angelo Dundee, Suzanne Dundee Bonner, Enrique Encinosa, Howard Kleinberg, Ramiro Ortiz, Edwin Pope, Bob Sheridan, and Budd Schulberg. Learn the secret history of one of boxing’s most hallowed grounds, as Pacheco recalls the rise, heyday, and fall of the ’sweet science’ at Miami Beach.
