Former Training ground for Muhammad Ali
On your web site you have the caption "former training ground for Muhammad Ali" next to the name of South Florida Boxing. This is incorrect. Muhammad Ali trained at the 5th Street Gym Which was located on the corner of 5th Street and Washington Avenue. It is now some art-decoish monstrosity that was put up after the landmark gym was torn down. Ali was long long retired when South Florida Boxing opened.
Just thought you might want to know in case Angelo Dundee were to stumble on to your sight.
PS: Angelo Dundee was Ali's trainer and is a South Florida resident and legendary boxing trainer.
