Really sad to hear of the passing of a lovely man who was a great friend and a mind of priceless knowledge as a former fighter and trainer.. Eugene Honeybear Bryant boxed at middleweight and light heavyweight in the 60s and 70s out of Phoenix Arizona, with a record of 40 Wins 29 losses and 6 draws..
Eugene boxed Don Fulmer, brother of Gene twice, beat fellow trainer Thell Torrence twice, drew with former light heavyweight world title challenger Andy Kendall, boxed Bad Bennie Brisco and fought Denny Moyer 6 times.. Honeybear trained a string of young fighters during the 1990s and early 2000s out of Johnny Toccos Gym in Las Vegas.. Rest in peace Gene.. you'll be missed
Thank the most High for giving me this man as a trainer,, I learned so much..
