Since the early 50′ ties “Gwardia” has been famous for bringing up world boxing champions. The famed sports hall located by pl. Zelaznej Bramy in Warsaw witnessed trainings of Jerzy Kulej, the Skrzeczowie brothers, last Polish olympic champion Jerzy Rybicki or its most recent star Krzysztof “Diablo” Wlodarczyk. The club prides of numerous sport achievements, among others, 15 olympic medals (6 gold), over 60 medals from European and World Championships and over 100 from Championships of Poland. Today, only three small training halls remain from the former times of glory. One of the most famous in Polish history boxing section of Warsaw’s “Gwardia” awaits its liquidation. This “Mecca” of Polish boxing is to be replaced by a huge supermarket, decisions imposed by Warsaw authorities.
