Trans Boxing, founded by Nolan Hanson, is changing the face of boxing at Gleason’s Gym, the oldest boxing gym in the United States. Hanson, a transgender coach, provides a safe space for transgender individuals to train and compete, fostering a sense of community and self-defense. This initiative challenges traditional boxing norms and creates an inclusive environment for all genders and sexual identities.
Jake Paul recently embarked on a spontaneous boxing session at Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn, New York, a venue closely associated with boxing legend Mike Tyson. Gleason’s, the oldest active boxing gym in the US, holds the legacy of both Tyson and Muhammad Ali, and Paul’s visit was fueled by personal inspiration. Tyson is set to make his boxing comeback against Paul on July 20, and his intense training regimen has significantly shifted betting odds. Despite Paul’s slight favoritism due to his age advantage, Tyson’s formidable punching power remains a significant threat. Paul acknowledges the fear accompanying this fight but maintains his aspiration to become a world champion and sees a victory over Tyson as a significant stepping stone. Gleason’s Gym, with its history of training 136 world champions, witnessed Paul’s profound respect for Tyson through his visit.
