BREWSTER CENTER®

Joe Louis mom gave him 50 cents a week for violin lessons. He went about 10-12 lessons and then one day followed a friend to the gym. He then used the 50 cents for a locker at Brewster Recreational Center. He would put his boxing gloves inside violin case and go off to the gym.

Walker Smith Jr (Sugar Ray Robinson) used to wait outside his house and wait for Joe Louis who lived on the same block to walk by. He would then carry Joe’s bag to Brewster Center.

A must for any boxing head!

Great shirt. Huge Cus and Tyson fan so I knew I needed this shirt in my rotation. Any fan of boxing history will appreciate this one. I know when I wear it at the gym it always strikes up a convo with some of the older trainers. Can’t wait to buy more.
