Kenneth Adams (September 25, 1940 – April 7, 2025) was an American professional boxing trainer and onetime Olympic amateur boxer. Adams was a highly respected boxing trainer. Adams was a pioneer in boxing, having been the first American trainer to implement strength training. He was also the first African-American selected as head coach of the American national boxing team. Adams brought such a strict disciplinarian training style that the eight-time, five-division World champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. refused to work with him. In 1999, the multiple-time World champion Wladimir Klitschko asked Adams to assist him in properly turning over his fist on the left hook for power. In 2005, eight-division World champion Manny Pacquiao requested to train with Adams, but Adams declined in order to aid his ill wife at the time.
