Oscar Seary is a man of many trades. In his 50 plus years in boxing, he has promoted fights, set up fighter contracts, assembled organizations and has won numerous awards. Did I leave out that Seary is an accomplished trainer? The trainer who is better known as ‘Don Kahn’ trained former world champions Alexis Arguello, Wilfredo Gomez, and Jesse ‘James’ Leija just to name a few. Don Kahn holds the late great Alexis Argullo close to his heart. Evidence of this is when he opened his latest gym in Carolina, he named it the Alexis Arguello Boxing Academy.
Don Kahn
At his gym Don Kahn teaches the same philosophies and training regimens he has been exercising throughout his career. Now, he just does it with the younger crowd. The wealth of experience of Don Kahn is spread across the youth of his boxing gym. He is no longer training fighters for upcoming championship fights, but now he is training boxers to get to the next level.
Two of those fighters are Ramesis Gil and Efrain ‘Macho’ Cruz. Gil has a tough assignment ahead of him as he faces undefeated junior welterweight prospect Jorge Maysonet Jr, this Friday in Guayama. Cruz is still a work in progress. With only two fights under his belt, he has much to learn. With Don Kahn in his corner, he is on the right track.
