Angelo Dundee
£25.00
This Philadelphia native learned the intricacies
of the sweet science while watching the great trainers ply
their trade at Stillman's Gym in New York in the late-1940s.
The first world champion he worked with was Hall-of-Famer
Carmen Basilio, who held the welterweight and middleweight
crowns.
Dundee, along with his brother Chris, a Hall of Fame promoter,
eventually relocated to Miami Beach and was the chief trainer
at the world-reknowned Fifth Street Gym. While in Miami,
Dundee's career flourished. In 1960, Dundee was hired to
train Muhammad Ali and he remained in Ali's corner until
his fight with Larry Holmes. Dundee, a quick thinker and
master motivator in the corner, helped Ali get through some
of his toughest fights.
In addition to Ali, Dundee has trained champions Jimmy
Ellis, Luis Rodriguez, Sugar Ramos, Ralph Dupas and Willie
Pastrano. In 1976, Dundee was asked to help shape the career
of Sugar Ray Leonard. Again, Dundee was instrumental in
building a boxing legend and hall-of-famer. Few boxing fans
could ever forget his "Your're blowing it son"
pep talk to Leonard just before he knocked out Thomas Hearns
to unify the welterweight crown.
The Boxing Writers Association of America named Dundee
its Manager of the Year in 1968 and 1979. He was also the
recipient of the organizations Long and Meritorious Service
Award in 1996. Most recently, Dundee was in the corner of
George Foreman when he knocked out Michael Moorer to win
the heavyweight title.
