Eric Kelly, a four-time National Amateur Boxing champion and two-time NYC Golden Glove tournament winner, had to end his boxing career prematurely after a “street altercation” in which he took a pool cue to his left eye.
Kelly now works out of the Church Street Boxing Gym where he trains “a bunch of fucking nerds” from Wall Street.
I love this guy. He knows more about boxing than his Wall Street clientele ever will, and he makes sure they know it.
I always love a straight shooter, and this guy gives it to you straight. No jibber-jabber, flim-flam, filibustering, gerrymandering, or merry-go-rounding, Eric Kelly tells it like it is. I would to if I had to end my career because of a damn bar fight.
I’ve always said, “When life fucks you over, don’t fuck around.” Kelly takes that and runs with it, and now he gets paid to do what he loves. Respect.
