Situated in NYC’s Dumbo neighborhood right next to the Manhattan Bridge lies a nondescript boxing gym. Gleason’s Boxing Gym has been a long-standing fixture in the boxing community since 1937. The gym has developed beginners and sharpened the skills of professionals. Walking into Gleason’s is like walking into a Boxing history museum. The walls are decorated with title belts, photos, and equipment that go way back.
As a boxing fan, I wanted to visit the gym and get to see and feel the space that so many have before me. I wanted to document the gym and individuals that were training there. After talking to a few members and trainers I was able to get a closer look at a typical night at Gleason’s.
