WORLD CLASS FIGHTER SALITA
RELEASES CHILDREN’S BOOK
Forgöngumaður, bardagamaður…and now Dmitriy Salita can add “author” to his resume.

“B Is For Boxing,” an illustrated children’s book which will help kids learn their A-B-Cs, is now in better bookstores everywhere.

Authored by ex world title challenger Dmitriy Salita, along with Hall of Fame publicist Bill Caplan and Michael Salita, Dmitriy’s brother, this book is an “outside the box” effort to get little ones on the road to mastering language basics.

“I have been boxing since I am 13 years old at Starrett City boxing club in Brooklyn,” Dmitriy Salita explains. “I love boxing and the many lessons it can teach. As a father I feel a responsibility to
present the educational aspects of the sport that I love in an interactive educational way. My brother and I came up with this idea and have worked on combining the alphabet with meaningful boxing terminology and historical events that is appealing and educational to both kids and adults!”

“A is for arena,” pint-sized learners are told, and the illustrations, by Elena Stekacheva, help budding readers cement the alphabet in their brains.

None other than former heavyweight champion George Foreman says this book is a knockout of a effort. “‘B Is For Boxing” is an interesting book and a fun way to interact with children,” says the ex pugilist who has ten children and 14 grand-children, “teaching them the alphabet and how to read.”

F is for “Big George Foreman,” and tiny learners will enjoy the illustration of the massive ex pugilist and the splashy colors which help retain their focus.

Here is information to order the book, a champion selection to start your child on the road to being superstar in the arena of language.

A mjög vel kaupsýslumaður, Williams explained that Stern also had a law degree and studied at one point to be a rabbi. Si recently returned from Romania, þar sem hann styður Williams á baráttu sinni, á sunnudaginn, Ágúst. 30 and he suffered a heart attack the following day at home in Key West. He was air lifted to a hospital in Miami, þar sem hann var í viku áður en hann koðnaði.
Bailey og Stern félagi, Dave Johnson, ásamt syni Stern, Gary, og dóttir, Cynthia, were bedside in the hospital with Si for several days until the end. “Ég talaði við Si á sunnudaginn nótt (Ágúst 30) og fékk símtal næsta dag sagði hann hafði verið lagður inn á sjúkrahús,” Bailey útskýrði. “Hann þola stórfellda hjartaáfall.

“Si was a great guy and a good friend. As a manager, he always fought for his boxers. If nobody else cared, Si elskuð; ef þeir gætu ekki gert það, Si would do it. I was with him nearly 10 years and nobody was throwing money our way. It was hard for us. I only made enough money in a few fights, eins og þegar ég vann í heiminum titil, where he took any money. If Si had your back, hann myndi fara í stríð við þig.
“Hann myndi keyra upp frá Key West til Miami til að sjá mig en, í stað þess að gista yfir nótt, hann myndi keyra aftur. Hann myndi hringja í mig hringja í mig 10 times while he drove home. He was so happy to get me a promotional contract (AK Kynningar í Kóreu) og hlakkaði til baráttu mína október 4th in Korea. I’m dedicating that fight to Si and we’ll be doing something special.”

“Si var miklu meira en yfirmann minn,” Williams offered. “Hann var góður vinur, a viss um að ég gæti alltaf treyst á að fá ráðleggingar, in and out of boxing. Si was an all-around good man. We had many deep discussion about politics and religion, mér að vera kristinn og Si Gyðingur, sérstaklega að eyða svo mörgum dögum saman í Rúmeníu.
“We all lost a good man in Si Stern. I was proud to be represented by Si. He wasn’t in boxing for the money. He was an important part of my life. He was always there for me and all of his fighters. Si never took a short cut or spared money. Si Stern was the best manager I ever had.”
