Boxing’s No. 1 shrine will reopen on Monday.
The International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York, which closed its doors when the coronavirus took hold, will reopen to the public at 11 a.m. ET, the Rome (N.Y.) Sentinel is reporting.
The Hall will follow strict protocols to minimize risk. Among requirements: social distancing, masks and 25% capacity. And the museum will be cleaned and sanitized frequently.
Also, the Hall will charge the youth rate of $8.50 for all visitors. The standard rate is $13.50 for adults and $11.50 for seniors. Children 6 and younger can enter free of charge.
Hall officials are highlighting one exhibit, the ring in which Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier fought in “The Fight of the Century,” in 1971.
“Fans visiting the Hall of Fame have a truly unique opportunity to watch the classic 1971 battle between Ali and Frazier ringside to the actual ring they so bravely fought in,” said Hall of Fame Executive Director Edward Brophy.
Hours are Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
