Russ Anber Inducted Into Boxing Hall of Fame

About this episode

Russ Anber is set to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2026, marking a historic achievement for Canadian boxing.

Russ Anber, a legendary Canadian boxing figure since 1979, is set to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2026 — a historic moment as the first Canadian trainer ever honored. From training and managing global stars like Usyk and Beterbiev to founding Rival Boxing Gear and calling Olympic bouts for six Games, Anber’s impact spans the ring and beyond. His journey began in Montreal, where he built fighters from scratch and even used magic and pool to keep them calm. He’ll bring his longtime friend and protégé Otis Grant to the ceremony — a dream fulfilled since Grant was a teen. For Anber, this isn’t just an honor; it’s the crowning achievement of a career that helped shape boxing’s future, both in Canada and worldwide.
