NEW YORK (Februar 13, 2017) – World-class light heavyweight boxer Joe “The Irish Bomber” Kovač, Jr. will be Ring 8’s guest speaker Četvrtak noć, Februar 23, at its monthly meeting, sa početkom u 7 poslije podne.

The 27-year-old Smith (23-1, 19 KOs) is a Union 66 laborer between fights.

U decembru prošle godine, Smith followed up with a sensational eighth-round knockout of living legend Bernard Hopkins (55-8-2), the seven-time, two-division world champion whose retirement fight was ruined by Smith.
“With knockout victories over Fonfara and Hopkins in his last two fights, Joe Smith might be the most exciting fighter since Arturo Gatti,” Prsten 8 predsjednik Jack Hirschrekao je.
“We look forward to him being a featured speaker at our monthly meeting and letting us know what he has planned next in his career.”
Smith was the recipient of Ring 8’s “Knockout of the Year Award” last December at the organization’s 30th godišnja Ring 8 Holiday događaja i proglašenje pobjednika. Phil iJerry Capobianco, odnosno, Smith’s manager and trainer, were also honored as Ring 8’s Manager and Trainer of the Year.
Smith is a light heavyweight contender on the verge of a major fight this year, possibly a world title shot. He is promoted by New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) inductee Joe DeGuardia (Star Boxing).
