Emanuel Steward (July 7, 1944– October 25, 2012) was an American fighter, trainer, and commentator for HBO Boxing. His heavyweight boxers had a record of 34-2-1 joined in title fights. He was an inductee of the International Boxing Hall Of Fame, as well as the World Boxing Hall of Fame. Steward was likewise known for his charity work in Detroit, Michigan, helping endangered youths to gain an instruction.
Steward was created in Bottom Creek, West Virginia, but, by the age of 12, he’d moved with his mom to Detroit, Michigan, after she divorced his dad, who had been a coal miner. Steward started an amateur boxing career there. He was made to abandon a professional career as a result of his family’s economic situation, and started working as an electric lineman. In 1971, Steward took his half brother, James Steward, to the nearby Kronk Gym, a hotbed for recreational fighters in the 1970s, and became a part time trainer there. Steward trained a number of the country ‘s top amateurs. He eventually translated his success with hobbyists right into a vocation training tournament-degree professional combatants. Steward reached his most remarkable early success with welterweight Thomas Hearns, whom he shifted from a light hitting fighter into among the very devastating punchers in boxing history. Hearns became one of Steward’s most successful and popular combatants, fighting Sugar Ray Leonard, knocking out Roberto Durn, and challenging undisputed Middleweight Champ Marvelous Marvin Hagler in a fight called The War. In the year 2012, he was training heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko, until a serious but undisclosed illness compelled him to have a leave of absence from training.
