NEW YORK, NY – Gleason’s Gym owner Bruce Silverglade, NABF featherweight champion
Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano and award-winning boxing artist Gabe Parillo, Jr.
will be special guest speakers Tuesday night (June 21, starting at 7 PM/ET) at
RING 8’s monthly meeting at the historic Waterfront Crabhouse in Long Island
City.
“We’re very fortunate
to have such a diverse group of speakers this month,” RING 8 president Bob Duffy
said. “They have a lot of valuable experience and interesting stories, both in
and out of the ring. All of our members are looking forward to listening and
meeting this boxing trio.”
Silverglade, a former
boxer, is a well known, highly-respected member of the New York City boxing
community. He owns and operates the oldest active boxing gym in the world (circa
1937), historic Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn.
Undefeated Serrano
(10-0-1), fighting out of Brooklyn, captured the women’s NABF featherweight
title last Saturday via a first-round knockout of her opponent at Roseland
Ballroom.
Parillo is recognized
as one of the foremost painters in boxing. His works include legends such as
Muhammad All, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier and many more. His book is entitled,
“The Boxing Art of Gabe Parillo.”

ex-prizefighter, Jack Grebelsky, RING 8 became the eighth subsidiary of what was

Boxers.

require assistance in terms of paying rent, medical expenses, or whatever
justifiable need.
