Bairoa Gym

Bairoa Gym is a boxing gym located in the Bairoa barrio area of Caguas, Puerto Rico.

El gimnasio Bairoa, as it is known in Spanish, is a famous boxing gym in Puerto Rico because of the list of world champions and top contenders who have trained there. World champions who have used this facility include Alfredo Salsero Escalera, Hector Macho Camacho and Julian Solis. Other boxers have included Alberto Mercado, Miguel Cotto and Juan Carazo.

The gym has been managed since the 1970s by Cuban trainer Julian Delgado. It has a tiger as a logo, probably in allusion to Journey's hit Eye of the Tiger, from the movie Rocky III.
