Rest In Peace Kenny Adams

The WBC and its president Mauricio Sulaimán announced the passing of Kenneth “Kenny” Adams, a legendary trainer who worked with champions Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., and Riddick Bowe. Adams was known for revolutionizing boxing training in the United States by introducing strength and conditioning techniques, practices that were previously considered unconventional. According to the WBC, 26 world champions, 34 Olympians, and 56 boxers who won world titles were trained under his watchful eye and tutoridge. Boxingtalk joins the WBC in sending our deepest condolences to Kenny’s family and friends.
