Gene Pantalone, boxing historian and author of Madame Bey’s Home to Boxing Legends, will speak about Madame Bey, an Armenian/French woman who emigrated to the U.S. and opened a boxing camp in Chatham Township. From 1917 to 1969 the town was a training facility for the greatest boxers of all time: Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano, Gene Tunney, Max Schmeling, Floyd Patterson, Joe Louis, and James “Cinderella Man” Braddock. In all, the camp hosted 14 heavyweight champions and no fewer than 80 International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees. Please join us Saturday, June 9, 2018 at 2 p.m. at Library of The Chathams, 214 Main St., Chatham, New Jersey.
