Golden Boys Visit
Just
one day before our ‘Unstoppable’ gala boxing event Lennox
Lewis paid our club a visit and brought with him Audley
Harrison, a top pro contender and 2000 Olympic super heavyweight
gold medalist for Britain. Naturally
being two top British heavyweights the two knew each other
pretty well and liked working together, so
Lennox
brought Audley to train with and get some tips from our resident
Master coach, Adrian Teodorescu.
Audley and his trainer, Kelvyn Travis arrived with Lennox
on Friday evening before the show, but
Lennox
had to go away that weekend so he alone was unable to attend our
show where his mother, Violet and his friends had a VIP table.
After
the weekend it was down to business as Lennox and Audley came in
every day the following week to train with
Adrian
, and
Lennox
got in on the training as he worked closely with Audley.
A giant, 6’6” of southpaw, Audley, now a pro with a
record of 21-3 with 16 KOs is poised to be a top ten contender,
having lost once to Danny Williams then avenged his loss in
impressive fashion, and just off a loss to Michael Sprott,
needed some freshness and innovation in his skills and training.
Lennox highly recommended
Adrian
and over came Audley and Kelvyn and both proved very willing to
listen as my father gave them his take on what Audley could
improve upon.
Atlas
thanks Lennox for bringing Audley down to our gym to train with
Adrian and we look forward to seeing Lennox more in the future
as he finds his way to trying his hand at coaching, which he
showed to be very adept at.
And we also wish only the best for Audley and Kelvyn in
their quest to reach the highest levels of professional boxing,
and we welcome them to feel at home at our club anytime
they’re in
Toronto
.
