Bud Bruner

Edgar L. "Bud" Bruner (December 7, 1907 – February 21, 1996) was an American boxing manager, trainer, and gym proprietor from Louisville, Kentucky.

Bruner was inducted into the duPont Manual High School Alumni Association Hall of Fame in 2005.

Among the baseball players Bruner managed at Fort Knox were future Major Leaguers Stan Lopata, Joe Garagiola, Roy Sievers, and Early Wynn.

He trained fourteen Kentucky State Golden Gloves Champions, eight of whom were named the best boxer of the tournament.

Larry Boeck wrote in the October 9, 1960, edition of the Courier-Journal: "Clay gives the impression, when Bruner's name is injected into the conversation, that he respects the ring knowledge of Bud in both matters of boxing technique and of integrity and astuteness in the often shady world of ring manipulations."
