Carrying on the Tradition

Carrying on the Tradition
In this 1998 photo, Gary Horvath helps 79-year old legendary boxer Jimmy Bivins put on his "duration" championship belt. Horvath was a partner and long-time friend of Bivins who died in 2012 at the age of 92 years. Horvath is continuing the tradition of boxing gymnasiums on the near west side of Cleveland that dates back to the late nineteenth century. As of December, 2015, the former multiple Golden Gloves boxing champion was still training boxers and operating a boxing gymnasium called the Make Them Pay Old Angle Gym at 3212 West 25th Street. | Source: Gary Horvath
