The famed boxing cutman and trainer Jimmy Glenn has died after a month-long battle with the coronavirus, but the iconic Times Square bar that he operated for nearly 50 years will endure
Jimmy Glenn wore many hats during more than seven decades in and around the fight game. He had 16 bouts as an amateur, once going the distance in a loss to the future heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. He worked as a cutman and managed a number of fighters and trained a few more.
But Glenn, who died last week of complications from the coronavirus aged 89, was perhaps best known for the iconic watering hole that bears his name on 44th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, a half-block east from the neon marquees and flashing Jumbotrons of Times Square.
