Kronk Expansion
During the 1990s, Kronk opened a second gym, this one in Tucson. A new host of fighters who would later become world champions arrived at Kronk, among them Gerald McClellan, and the gym began to sell Kronk merchandise through catalog sales.
Among the many world champions who have also trained at Kronk at least once during their careers are Wilfred Benítez (in the Tucson gym), Héctor Camacho, Julio César Chávez, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis and Jermain Taylor.
In 1998 Kronk opened Kronk Gym website, a Web site about the gym and its fighters. A "Save the Kronk" campaign, aimed at keeping the facilities from closing because of the budget shortfall, is being spearheaded by Emanuel Steward. The campaign will be used to build a new Kronk.

Famous quotes containing the word expansion:
“The fundamental steps of expansion that will open a person, over time, to the full flowering of his or her individuality are the same for both genders. But men and women are rarely in the same place struggling with the same questions at the same age.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
