Got the sad news thru' Bruce Silverglade @ Gleason's Gym :
"I have some more very sad news. COVID-19 has taken another boxing person. It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Jimmy Glenn the owner/proprietor of the Times Square bar Jimmy’s Corner in Manhattan has passed away.
He was a fighter, trainer, cutman, and manager, he once owned both the bar and a gym.
Jimmy’s Time Square Gym was on 42nd Street.
He loved training young fighters.
He developed a reputation as a skilled trainer and cutman for boxers like Floyd Patterson, Michael Spinks, Jameel McCline, and Howard Davis, Jr.
He was an honest person and a true gentleman. He was a good friend to me and Gleason’s Gym. He will be missed."
