Clarence Griffin's Windy City Boxing Club is back and running in Chicago's Pilsen Neighborhood. Windy City Boxing is Chicago's throwback boxing gym that has Olympic boxing alumni as owners and a family heritage of boxing. We offer boxing classes, personal training & more! Today, my goal is to bring boxing back to a state of prominence in Chicago, similar to how it was in the 1920's and 1930's.
My experience as both a professional and amateur boxer allows me the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge with all ages.

Our History
Report
My father, Clarence Griffin, bought former bantamweight champion, Johnny Coulon's, boxing gym at 5411 East 63rd Street and renamed it, "Windy City Boxing Gym." At that time, Muhammad Ali was living in Hyde Park and would train at our gym while he was in town. My dad and Ali formed a relationship and we were invited to his home and camp in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania.
