The Board and members of Ring 8 wish to offer our condolence and deepest sympathy to the family of Gil Clancy.    Gil, a long standing member of Ring 8 and a recepient of Trainer of  the  Year, will be truly missed.  While best remembered as an  outstanding  trainer, Gil brought a keen and honest perception of the  sport that made  him one of the most sought after trainers.  Gil, along  with his just  recently deceased 
boxing partner and Ring 8 member Howie Albert, were a  great duo in boxing  like no other.  Thank you for giving us some of the  greatest fighters  and most memorable boxing  moments that will forever  stay in our hearts.  More importantly, thank  you for your warmth,  kindness, and friendship to all those in the  boxing community.  You will  be truly missed.
