    Just curious if anybody trained at the gym the gold medalist/ former cruiserweight champ owns? In an interview he said he mainly trains people in boxing for fitness. Trivia: Jirov was a wrestling champion who decided to try boxing after seeing the movie Rocky and Jirov has been vegan most of his life.

    When I was in Phoenix Jirov was living in Scottsdale and he sometimes sparred at the gym I used to teach boxing.

    No, but I'm curious to hear about his wrestling credentials...

    Butch, is training with Vasily something you're looking to do in the future? I'm also curious about his rates.

    Not unless I have an unexpected windfall. Plus I haven't put on a pair of boxing gloves in 16 years :treadmill:
