The fifth annual Gleason's Gym Masters tournament is in high gear at the DUMBO, Brooklyn fight installation, which is run by the NYC living legend Bruce Silverglade.
Bruce snags persons from all corners of the world, and so it's always interesting and insightful to get to know some of the participants taking part a bit better. NYF reached out to 47 year old KAI PIEPER, who made the trek from Germany to test his mettle.
Editor/publisher Michael Woods got addicted to boxing in 1990, when Buster Douglas shocked the world with his demolition of the thought to be impregnable Mike Tyson. The Brooklyn-based journalist Woods has covered the sport since then, for ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com, ESPN New York, RING, and he was editor of TheSweetScience.com from 2007-2015. Woods is also an accomplished blow by blow and color man, having done work for Top Rank, DiBella Entertainment, EPIX, and for Facebook Fightnight Live since 2017. He now does work for PROBOX TV, the first truly global boxing network.
