History of the Gregg/Klice Community Center
Arrington “Bubble” Klice
Arrington “Bubble” Klice (1908–1992) was a legendary boxing coach and mentor whose influence spanned more than four decades.
At the Gateway Boxing Club, he trained generations of young athletes, instilling discipline, confidence, and perseverance.
His contributions to amateur boxing earned him induction into the Golden Gloves Association of America Hall of Fame in 1982.
Small in stature but immense in impact, Klice became a beloved figure in Kansas City’s sports community.
