(EAGLE RIVER, Wis) (WJFW) –\u00a0Teressa Gray, owner of Corvino\u2019s Boxing Club, has always had boxing in her blood.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always had an idea and a memory that my dad brought to our family as being a boxer.\u201d said Gray.<\/p>\n
Gray\u2019s late father, Jack Corvino, was a successful amateur boxer and coach in the 1940s and 50s, but died when Gary was just seven years old. She never got into the sport of boxing until after college when she went to a gym in Minnesota.<\/p>\n
Gray said \u201cSure enough it just clicked for me. They saw some natural talent, technique and ability that I didn\u2019t know I had. And they trained me to have a couple amateur fights myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
After her tenure as an amateur boxer Teressa Gray opened up her own gym in Eagle River to help keep the Corvino family boxing legacy alive.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not training you to be a fighter,” said Gray. “I\u2019m just training you to have overall strength and the mindset that I think boxing can bring to anyone\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gray opened her club in January 2025 and has over 50 members, most being women, including Mckenzie Rabenn and Rachel Milky.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Milky said \u201cTypeically a lot of women may shy away from the heavy weight lifting type of sports and now that we\u2019re seeing more involvement in that it\u2019s just a great thing to carry on and continue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rabenn added: \u201cFor her to offer this service to the Northwoods and continue her dad\u2019s legacy is so incredible. Especially in a space that\u2019s so heavily dominated by males.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe symbolism of boxing is so applicable with life.” said Gray. “We can\u2019t quit when it\u2019s difficult, we stop at the bell. And I use that mindset of like \u2018Whatever I\u2019m struggling with in life, I can push through it\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gray added that she hopes her late dad would be proud of what her daughter is doing today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(EAGLE RIVER, Wis) (WJFW) –\u00a0Teressa Gray, owner of Corvino\u2019s Boxing Club, has always had boxing in her blood.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,1337,44,82],"class_list":["post-504580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-local","tag-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
