Trainer Kevin Cunningham to reopen his gym in Florida on Monday

Trainer Kevin Cunningham said he plans to open his gym in West Palm Beach, Florida to his fighters on Monday.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis decision to designate professional wrestling an “essential business” seemed to open doors a crack for boxing. And trainer Kevin Cunningham is walking in.

The Camp Cunningham Gym in West Palm Beach will reopen to Cunningham’s fighters on Monday as the state loosens some of the restrictions that grew out of the coronavirus threat, according to BoxingScene.com.

“The Governor has given professional sports and athletes the green light to go back to work in Florida,” Cunningham told BoxingScene. “My gym is a private gym for professional fighters. So we meet the essential services criteria.

“Camp Cunningham gym will be open Monday. I can’t wait to get my guys back to work.”

Cunningham works with Andre Dirrell, Marcos Escudero, Erickson Lubin, among others.

A World Wrestling Entertainment event took place early this month at its own facility in Orlando. Otherwise, all sports have been shut down in the United States and much of the world.

Some beaches in Florida have reopened the past few days.
