FRAMINGHAM, מאַסע. (פעברואַר 3, 2020) – Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) has announced it will bring professional boxing for the first time ever to Framingham, Massachusetts with “Fight Night In Framingham,” פרייטיק נאַכט, מאַרץ 20, at Sheraton Framingham Hotel.
Proceeds will benefit Fighting Life, an after-school youth boxing and academic empowerment program, available 100-percent free of charge, to students beginning in elementary school through high school education. With the continuous growth in technology and available access to various social media platforms today, קינדער (especially those ages 11 צו 18 יאָרן) are easily exposed to and influenced by various social pressures, such as but not limited to, hatred, drug availability, and everyday violence. Located out of UpperKuts Boxing Club in Ashland, מאַססאַטשוסעטץ, the Fighting Life Boxing Program was founded by owner and head coach, אַ.דזש. טאמעס, as a resource and program to provide children with a positive outlet and outlook in life. באַזוכן www.fightinglife.org to learn more about this organization.
“We are extremely happy to bring professional boxing to Framingham for the first time,” SBP president Chuck Shearns האט, “in addition to teaming with such a great cause in Fighting Life. “We believe that there are plenty of boxing fans in the community who will enjoy a quality show. The early support for this event has been amazing and local businesses have been extremely charitable.
“On a personal note, SBP and Framingham have a very important history together. It is where I first met my wife, Karen, and lived when starting our family. I also boxed in Framingham when I was younger.”
The City of Framingham, located 20 miles southwest of Boston, dates back to the American Revolution and, טאָמער, may be better known as being part of the famed Boston Marathon course. Framingham may never have had a pro boxing show held there, but it doesn’t necessarily mean boxing isn’t popular in the city of nearly 69,000 residents.
“We’ve had amateur boxing shows in Framingham, but this will be the first professional event,” Thomas explained. “Kids here are into boxing even though they may not be as knowledgeable about boxing as elsewhere. If more kids understand what boxing can do to better their lives, boxing would have and will get bigger with more exposure to the sport, and that’s why it’s so important to support this show.”
