Boxing News :: Press Release : Kronk Gets a Redesign

Boxing News :: Kronk Gets a Redesign
Detroit, MI – Urban Verve, formerly CI Web Design Inc., has redesigned the website for internationally renowned Kronk Boxing International, in time for both Super Bowl XL and an exceptional benefit to preserve the legendary gym.

In conjunction with the redesign, Urban Verve is also a co-sponsor of the upcoming “Fight Night at the Fisher” to allow the world famous gym to stay open. Kronk is one of nine Detroit recreation centers threatened with closure due to city-wide cutbacks. The fundraiser – which benefits both the gym and the Emanuel Stewart Foundation – takes place Thursday, February 2 in the lobby of Fisher building on the eve of Super Bowl weekend. According to an article published in the Detroit News, $500,000 is needed annually to keep the gym open.

As part of its sponsorship, Urban Verve is offering free wireless service to all participants, VoIP solution for the organizers and an interactive guest register for the event. Urban Verve President Cornel Ivanescu sees his participation in the fundraiser as an extension of both his personal and professional interests. “I’ve always enjoyed boxing events and being able to help the legendary Kronk Recreation Center, where many of the world’s greatest boxers have trained, is really a great honor. As a business, we have donated resources to make the event safe and provided technology consulting and web services to help promote it,” said Ivanescu
