NEW YORK – április 15, 2021 – From 1980 keresztül 1989, four great champions and future Hall of Famers raised the level of their sport. It was boxing at its best, at its most enthralling. Over the span of one glorious decade, they fought each other nine times.Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Csodálatos Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, és Sugar Ray Leonard,known collectively as the “Four Kings,” formed a fierce rivalry and arguably the greatest period in the history of the sport.
SHOWTIME SPORTS DOCUMENTARY FILMS will be presentingTHE KINGS, a four-part series chronicling the four fighters’ dramatic and divergent ascents to greatness and the legendary matches they produced. They dominated an era of their own creation, but not each other. The weekly series premieres on Sunday, Június 6 at 8 p.m. ÉS / PT a Showtime, with all episodes being made available across the network’s on-demand and streaming platforms at premiere.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the epic middleweight championship battle between Hagler and Hearns. Long considered the high-water mark of the Four Kings era, Hagler-Hearns stands out for the drama and brutal non-stop action that was compressed into just over eight minutes from start to finish. The fight and the opening stanza were consensus Fight of the Year and Round of the Year, illetőleg, but many consider both as one of, ha nema,all-time best in their respective categories.
Alatt, please find the observations and recollections of those who covered that fight, many who are featured inTHE KINGS.
“I remember the week of the fight, Hagler wore a baseball hat with ‘WAR’ on the front, és úgy gondoltam,, ‘eh, the usual pre fight hype’, until the first bell, then I said, “WOW, Hagler was right.”
– Teddy Atlas,Hall of Fame trainer and boxing analyst
“I covered the fight as a columnist for The New York Times. Here was my lead: Until Thomas Hearns fell, with the assistance of a smashing right to the face by Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and was ruled the loser at 2:01 A harmadik fordulóban, hardly a second passed that one of the fighters wasn’t throwing and landing a stunning blow.”
– Ira Berkow, ringside for The New York Times
“The excitement at the outdoor arena at Caesars Palace was palpable. As I sat ringside I did something I now do regularly before a match. When both Hagler and Hearns had entered and were in the ring I took my headsets off just to feel the emotion of the crowd better. I wanted to live that moment. Most, I do that before every big match just before it begins. At the end of the first round, I said on the telecast, ‘This is one of the best rounds in middleweight boxing history.’ I may have been underselling it.”
– Al Bernstein, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst /első sor cirkuszban, called the fight as part of the live closed-circuit telecast team
“I knew trouble was brewing when in the last leg of their nationwide press tour, Marvin stuck dinner napkins in both ears as Tommy stood to continue three weeks of boasting about a third-round knockout. ‘He’s half right,’ Hagler later groused. The first round sucked the air out of the arena and the finish was Hagler’s violent response to all the forces he believed had tried to deny him greatness his whole career. Marvin took all his frustrations out on poor Tommy and left him in a heap on the floor, broken like an old beach chair.”
– Ron Borges,ringside for the Boston Globe
“I was sitting first-row ringside that night next to Ed Schuyler Jr., the great AP boxing writer. We were anticipating a good fight, but we had no idea how good. The bell rang and suddenly Hagler and Hearns were fighting in a fury that was hard to comprehend and just as hard to describe. When the round ended, I remember looking at Schuyler shaking my head, not saying a word, and he did the same to me back. It was like ‘What did we just see?’ I’ve seen thousands of fights, but to this day that three minutes of mayhem is forever etched in my mind. No need to watch the old video, I remember it almost punch by punch. Greatest first round ever, and top five in greatest fights I’ve ever covered.”
– Tim Dahlberg,ringside for the Associated Press
“A wise old journalist once told me, ‘If you’re covering a fight, or anything for that matter, that’s truly sensational, don’t try to write it that way. Underplay it.’ I think of that advice whenever anybody mentions Hagler-Hearns. For fight fans, it was invigorating, inspiring, incredible – everything we could ever hope for. For fight writers, it was a bit different. How could we describe that first round without overstepping our bounds? Sometimes it’s easier being a fan.”
– Steve Farhood, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst / Covered the fight as senior writer for KO magazine
“I will always remember sitting in the truck, as the producer of the telecast, and telling Marc Payton, the director, to stick with the hand-held camera in the last minute of the first round, mesmerized that they had planted themselves in front ofhogy kamera. It was the longest three minutes of action in my entire career. I turned to Marc at the end of the round and just asked, ‘What the hell was that?’ It was actually a more emphatic expletive than that.”
– Ross Greenburg, executive producer of the fight telecast
“At the end of the first round I was literally speechless. The action had been so incredibly intense – they had attacked each other with the kind of ferocity you only see in a horror movie – that I had watched it all with my mouth wide open, and in the dry desert air my mouth had become completely bone dry, so I was unable to get a word out when Ian Darke asked me for my comment. Eventually I managed to say, ‘That’s the greatest round of boxing I’ve ever seen.’ And all these years later, it still remains so.”
– Colin Hart, ringside for The Sun and BBC Radio
“Whenever I’m asked to name the most exciting sporting event I ever attended, I respond, ‘Hagler-Hearns.’ Never do I have to explain.”
– Barry Horn, ringside for the Dallas Morning News
“Greatest first round in the history of boxing at any weight. Hearns hits him with the best right hand he ever threw, wobbles him, opens a cut on his forehead but two rounds later Marvin fights off the blood and knocks him out. Seventy years covering boxing and I never saw anything like it.”
– Jerry Izenberg, ringside for The Star-Ledger
“Being at ringside for the eight minutes of fury known as the Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns fight was as close as anyone could come to understanding the days of gladiators in the Roman Colosseum. The first round was all-out warfare with both fighters exchanging their best power shots. Hearns tried to box in the second, but Hagler wouldn’t let him, and when the blood started pouring from a cut on Hagler’s forehead in the third and there was a danger the fight might be stopped, Hagler later said, ‘It turns me on, the monster comes out.’ Boy, did it! I never will forget the image of one of Hearns’ handlers cradling him like a child and carrying him to the corner, which is why I led with that picture. Easily the most savage boxing match I’ve witnessed between two all-time greats.”
– Greg Logan, ringside for Newsday
“Although the action and drama lasted eight-plus breathless minutes, it actually was over in the first minute or so when KO star Hearns landed a flush right and Hagler didn’t blink. It was then I realized that Hagler, normally a patient stalker, had signaled his intention to use his middleweight strength to challenge a big welterweight by pounding his chest defiantly just before the opening bell rang. A night and fight to remember.”
– Larry Merchant, ringside commentator for delay telecast
“Obviously the greatest round of boxing I’ve ever seen, let alone called. One of those moments that you knew the magnitude of as it was happening. That first round felt like it was a half hour long.”
– Barry Tompkins, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst / ringside to call the delay fight telecast
“I didn’t know what to expect since it was my first time watching a fight at a movie theater. Whites and Blacks in Memphis only socialized around sports back then. It was a mixed crowd in the theater, but the same reaction: pure joy and excitement. Everyone stood throughout the entire fight. It was violent, courageous, and thrilling.”
– George Willis, covering from a closed-circuit outlet in Memphis for The Commercial Appeal
“I covered that fight, és sokan mások, for The Detroit News. I’ll never forget the absolute savagery in the way Hearns and Hagler went at each other from the opening bell, and the way the crowd roared with every punch. One telling moment: Hearns connected with a wicked left hook that turned Hagler half around from the force of the punch — but never fazed him. It has been called the greatest short fight in history, and that stands up to this day. The first round set the tone. I remember after the fight someone asked Larry Merchant of HBO how he scored that first round. ‘I gave them both 11,’ he replied. That said it all.”
– Mike O’Hara,ringside for The Detroit News
“My memory of the first round: action so immediate and reckless that spectators were left breathless. So were the reporters at ringside. I was there for the Boston Globe, and I remember the veteran scribes who sat paralyzed after the bell, unable to type or scratch notes, me included. A deep gash opened above Hagler’s right eye, and Hearns’ right hand fractured. In the third round, with blood running down Hagler’s nose, the referee stopped the bout and asked Hagler if he could continue. Hagler snapped: ‘I’m not missing him, am I?’ When the bout resumed Hagler attacked quickly, bounced three long rights off of Hearns’ fej, and watched him twist downward to the canvas.”
– Steve Marantz, ringside for the Boston Globe
“I remember how difficult it was, on a tight deadline, to give justice to that spectacular first round. How many superlatives could I pack into the story without inducing nausea? Hagler quietly, confidently selling the fight – simply, wearing a cap with ‘War’ emblazoned on the front. Then that nail-hard infantryman, coming, always coming after Hearns. Hearns out on his feet, chin on referee Richard Steele’s shoulder and then carried to his corner. I can still hear the crowd roaring throughout the short fight, knowing all of us were witnessing a brawl for the ages.”
– John Phillips, ringside for Reuters
“What I remember about this war was there was no feeling (each other) out, they just came out slugging from the opening bell! It was so loud outside at Caesars Palace, the most iconic venue, that made this fight even more special. I wish more fights were outside. I also thought that Referee Richard Steele did a great job and just let them fight!”
– Marc Ratner, Nevada State Athletic Commission Inspector for Hagler-Hearns
“Hagler-Hearns was the first major fight I covered and the first time I was ever in Las Vegas. I was there to do sidebars and run quotes for Greg Logan, who was doing the main story for Newsday. I got a seat in press row when press row was truly ringside, literally within 10 feet of the ring apron. And after the incredible first round, I was on my feet, my legs quivering, when I noticed all the other older, more grizzled reporters were standing too, stunned by what we all had just seen. At that moment, Eddie Schuyler of the AP turned to me and deadpanned in that sardonic manner of his, ‘You know, kid, they aren’t all like this.’ He turned out to be right. Over the next 38 years and who knows how many first rounds, I have yet to see another one like that.”
– Wally Matthews, ringside for Newsday

NEW YORK – április 12, 2021 -A boksz, it is said that styles make fights. -tól 1980 keresztül 1989, it was the style of four great fighters that not only made legendary fights, it ushered in a boxing renaissance. The fierce rivalry between world champions and future Hall of Famers known as the “Four Kings” –Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Csodálatos Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, és Sugar Ray Leonard– produced a Golden Age defined by the nine world championship fights between them and solidified their place among the greatest to ever live.

The weekly series premieres on Sunday, Június 6 at 8 p.m. ET /PT on SHOWTIME, with all episodes being made available across the network’s on-demand and streaming platforms at premiere.
THE KINGSspotlights boxing’s evolution from the end of Muhammad Ali’s era to the era of the Four Kings, set against the seismic political and socio-economic shifts taking place in the United States. The Four Kings rose to fame as the presidency of Jimmy Carter and economic recession gave way to the boon of 1980s capitalism and excess harnessed by the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bokor. Through in-depth interviews and archival footage, the series also examines the very personal battles that each man waged on his unique journey to the center of the sports world.
“These four men defined an era in boxing,"Mondta Stephen Espinoza, Elnök, SHOWTIME Sport. “Their individual stories, forever linked by the spectacular battles they waged, reflect a tumultuous period in American culture and history.THE KINGStakes the viewer beyond the glorious action of some of history’s most memorable prizefights to illuminate each man’s dramatic journey and the societal context that made them stars of sports and popular culture.”
Following a brief fallow period in the wake of Ali’s retirement, boxing was revitalized when Leonard became a world champion in 1979 and waged his first battle with Durán in 1980. From that point, the Four Kings engaged in a decade-long run of riveting fights that far outperformed any other sport in attention and revenue. They were the most popular stars of sports and American culture.
-tól 1979 keresztül 1985, as a mark of their incredible achievements, the Boxing Writers Association of America bestowed these men the coveted title of “Fighter of the Year” annually with the lone exception of 1982 – with Leonard, Hagler and Hearns each winning twice. In the nine world title fights between them, there were four knockouts and three of the bouts were recognized byA Ringmagazine as “Fight of the Year.” A Ringmagazine “Round of the Year” (and to many, the round of all time) from round one of Hagler-Hearns is, talán, the most iconic single round of boxing of all time. Fittingly, THE KINGSpremieres in the 45th anniversary year of Leonard winning an Olympic gold medal, and the 40th anniversary year of the welterweight world title unification battle between Leonard and Hearns, widely considered their greatest fight and a symbol of the era.

Colorado Springsben, Öl. (Június 4, 2020) - Mint sok boxer, két részlet világbajnok "El Gallo" Jose Antonio Rivera jóváírja a bokszt az élet megmentése érdekében.
"Teljesen,Rivera egyetértett. „Miután anyám elhunyt, amikor én voltam 10 éves, Feladtam az életről, és a döntéshozatalom ezt tükrözte: helytelen tömeggel lóg, beleértve a banda tagjait is, alkoholfogyasztás 10 és 15. határozottan rossz irányba haladtam.
„Soha nem gondoltam, hogy van jövőm, amíg el nem kezdtem bokszolni. Nehéz megmondani, mit csinálok, ha soha nem dobtam volna be, de egyébként én éltem, Valószínűleg már börtönben vagy halott vagyok. ”
Philadelphiában született, Rivera Puerto Ricóban és Springfieldben élt, MA, mielőtt Worcesterbe költözött, MA, ahol találkozott egy férfival, aki segített megváltoztatni az életét, Carlos Garcia, aki a Worcester Boys speciális bokszprogramját vezette & Girls Club.
Rivera már évesen kezdte el a bokszot 14 ½ egy alagsorban a barátjával, Felix Lopez. Megnézte a bokszotRoberto Duran szomorú„Cukor” Ray Leonard az első harcukban. A fiatal Puerto Rico-amerikai amerikai kifejezetten az amatőr boksz-tapasztalatait felhasználta felkészülésre a profi sorozatra. Garcia, aki a Nemzeti Aranykesztyű Hírességek Csarnokában van, csak egy amatőrharc után indítsa el kezdő meccsen, hogy Rivera gyorsuljon, mert megértette, hogy Rivera arról álmodozott, hogy profi lett világbajnok. Rivera a 35-15 amatőr rekordot, kiemelték a PAL Nationals bronzérmes előadásával.
„Soha nem voltam nagy amatőr törekvéseim, de, természetesen, Minden harcot akartam nyerni, amelyben részt vettem,- mondta Rivera. „Egyszer nem jártam be az olimpiai próbákra, a tervem az volt, hogy profi forduljak. Nem tudtam, hogy az amatőrök mennyire vőleggenek nekem, hogy sikeres profi boxer lehessenek. Örülök, hogy hallgattam az edzőimet, különben korábban profi lettem volna, mert csalódott lennék az amatőrök politikája miatt. Utáltam elveszíteni, de utáltam még inkább elveszíteni, amikor tudtam, hogy nyernem kellett volna. Három év után együtt (Garcia-val) az amatőrök körében, és rengeteg tapasztalatot szerzett Új-Anglia szerte, az országot, sőt Kanadában is harcolnak, Láttam mindenféle stílust és tehetséges ökölvívót, amelyek profiként segítettek. Carlos olyan, mint egy apa alak számomra, valamint az összes edzésünk és utazásunk során, mindig a fejemben volt, felépítettem, hogy jó boxer lehessek, hanem arra is, hogy jobb emberré váljak. ”
November 7, 1992, Rivera debütált, kiütéseFrancisco Mercedes a második fordulóban. Folytatta az első győzelmét 23 pro csaták, beleértve a Massachusetts állambeli hevesúlymérnök címet, 1995. Első profi vesztesége a Philadelphia veterán harcos voltWillie Wise (20-3-4), aki vitatott tíz forduló osztott döntést nyert a Connecticuti Foxwoods Resort Kaszinóban. Rivera bebizonyította, hogy az első veszteségénél több volt, mint kilátás, elveszíti a közeli döntést (98-95, 94-97, 94-96) egy ellenfélnek, amely felborította a mexikói ikontJulio Cesar Chavez (102-3-2) csak három évvel később.
Ugyanazt a rugalmasságot mutatta, mint Rivera egész karrierje során, két harc később Rivera megálltGilberto Flores két fordulóban a Nemzetközi Bokszszervezet elfogására (IBO) világhős bajnokság. Rivera hétre bővítette az új nyerő szériáját, mielőtt elveszítenék a hátsó harcot. Négy harc később, bár, Rivera az első nyilatkozatának győzelmét 2006 - ban regisztrálta 2001, kiütéseFrankie Randall (55-10-1) a 10th fordulóban megtartani észak-amerikai ökölvívó szövetségét (Is) korona első védekezésében.
Most a legendás Don King támogatja, Rivera szeptemberben utazott át az Atlanti-óceánon 2003 Németországba, ahol kevés amerikai tudott nyerni. Rivera már korán bizonyította, hogy üzletet jelent, korábban legyőzhetetlen cseppMichel Trabant a második fordulóban útközben egy 12 körös többségi döntés megnyeréséért az üres Boksz Szövetség számára (WBA). Uralkodása, viszont, nem tartott sokáig Az első védekezésében, Rivera elvesztette egy 12 körös osztott döntést otthon, Worcesterben a kihívórólLuis Collazo (24-1)
Rivera feljebb lépett egy súlyosztályon a következő harcra, megmutatta az ellenálló képességet, amely vágott karrierje során a következő harcra, otthon is, a WBA junior középsúlyos világbajnok ellenAlexandro Garcia (25-1).
Következő harcában és harmadik világbajnoki első védekezésében, Riverát profi karrierje során először állították le, új bajnokTravis Simms (24-0), aztán kiütötteDaniel Santos (24-0) a nyolcadik fordulóban a WBA junior középsúlyos bajnoki selejtezőjükből.
Rivera visszavonult 2008 csak a visszatérés érdekében 2001, ezután ismét visszavonult, amíg visszatért két harcra Worcesterbe, hogy profi karrierjét befejezze 50 harcol, az utolsó jövevény 10 éves korban volt 46.
„Jose USA boksz-élményei alakították őt olyan karakterré, akinek ma van, és kifelé a gyűrű,"MondtaChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni igazgató. „Kevesebbet hajtott végre egy világbajnokért, és ezzel megmutatta keménységét és kitartását, amely nagyszerű példává tette őt a mai USA Boxernek. ”

Rivera igazi működő világbajnok volt. Néhány világbajnoknak teljes idejű munkája is volt a címe alatt. A Rivera használta a nyaralási időt, valamint személyes és beteg napok, amikor elment edzőtáborba néhány fontosabb harcára.
„Mindig jó etikánk nőtt fel," elmagyarázta. Amikor amikor Worcesterbe költöztem 16 éves, Egyedül éltem: iskola, munka, majd a Fiúknak & Lányok klubja. Ugyanazt a munka-etikát tartottam, amelyben volt 19 amikor profi lettem. Apám lett a 20, tehát elengedhetetlen volt a családom biztosítása. Bár nehéz volt, Tudtam, hogy a boksz nem fog örökké tartani, és szerencsém volt, hogy jó munkát találtam a Massachusettsi Nemzetközösség Bírósági Bíróságainál. Hosszú napokra tette, amikor edztem, különösen akkor, amikor a világbajnokságomért harcoltam vagy megvédtem. A végén, bár, a munkám megtartása volt a legjobb döntés, amelyet nekem és a családomnak meghozhattam. ”
Rivera. aki évek óta társult bírósági tisztviselő volt, és tavaly előrelépett a bírósági főtitkár asszisztensévé, továbbra is részt vesz a bokszban. Ő és legidősebb fia, A.J.

Robert Duran Jr., son of legendary four division World Champion Roberto Duran, made a successful UK debut on Saturday night, when he fought Nicaragua’s Juan Carlos Santana on the former WBO and IBF Intercontinental Champion Dr Mark Prince OBE’s ‘Jabbing Not Stabbing’ Charity event, to raise funds for the Kiyan Prince Foundation (KPF) www.thekpf.comat the London Irish Centre in Camden, London.
Florida, USA based Duran Jr, whose record stood at 3-1-0 prior to his UK trip, joined stars from Professional boxing such as WIBA World Champion and WBC Muay Thai World Champion Denise Castle, British and WBO European Champion Bradley Skeete, WBF International & European Champion Tommy Jacobs and former WBC International Champion Herol Graham and also from Football such as Harry Redknapp and Peter Peter Odemwingie in their support of the Kiyan Prince Foundation (KPF).
Duran Jr. had to be on top form as Santana pulled out all the stops to try and prevent the Floridian securing his maiden UK victory, Duran Jr. though had bought his ‘A game’ and was more than happy to go to war with the tough Nicaraguan and after four scintillating all action rounds it was Duran Jr that Referee Adrian Thorne deemed victorious by a 40-37 pont margin.
Earlier today Duran Jr said.
“I want to start of by saying that I am very grateful for attending and being part of such a special event, The Kiyan Prince Foundation’s ‘Jabbing Not Stabbing’ that took place last Saturday in London this past Saturday in remembrance of young Kiyan Prince.
“Thank you so much Dr Mark Prince and Mr Gianluca Di Caro for adding me as the headliner of the evening of the fights. Such a special night to showcase my skill and to steer the young youth away from street violence and creating a way out through boxing.
“Much love and appreciation to Dr Prince and Mr Di Caro for the opportunity, I love London and the people returned the love.
“Hope to be back soon and see all my new friends and fans once more. Thank you London!"

About The Kiyan Prince Foundation:
The Kiyan Prince Foundation was established in 2008 in memory of Kiyan Prince, Dr Prince’s fifteen-year-old son and a talented footballer who was stabbed in the heart, whilst trying to break up a fight, outside his school gates. This devastating tragedy marked the beginning of a journey which has not only transformed Dr Prince’s life but also equipped him with the knowledge and skills to support families and help prevent similar cases. In this process, he has had to defeat two of life’s toughest challenges – anger and revenge, find the strength to forgive and the commitment to substitute anger with positive life skills.
About Kiyan Prince:
Kiyan Prince was the first son born to Mark Prince and Tracy Cumberbatch on 25th November 1990.
He was an outgoing and well-loved young man who got along with everybody. Teachers, fellow pupils, Queens Park Rangers football team… in fact anyone who came into contact with Kiyan counted it a privilege to have done so.
On May 18th 2006 Kiyan’s life came to a tragic, untimely and unnecessary end. The loving nature, by which he was known, was what made him step in and defend his friend who was being picked on by another youth.
The incident took place outside the gates of his school, the London Academy, located in Edgware North London. Kiyan attempted to resolve the situation in the most peaceable way by directly challenging the aggressor.
The ‘killer’, 16 year old Hannad Hasan, felt that Kiyan had disrespected him because he stood up to him. He then turned and callously killed Kiyan – plunging a knife straight into his chest. Kiyan died of a single, but fatal, stab wound to his heart.
Kiyan, who played for Queens Park Rangers Under-16’s football team. He was dubbed ‘The Bullet’ because of his speed and he was hailed as the next Wayne Rooney… tipped to play for England.
Kiyan was a beautiful, thoughtful, kind and considerate young man. . How he lived was reflected in the way he died… in probably the last words he ever spoke…
Even though he must have been very scared and in pain… in dying he still represented the life he lived. His heart was so full of love and empathy for others. In his final minutes his thoughts were, még akkor, still of others. As he lay bleeding he told his friends: “if these are my last words… tell my Mum I love her.”
About Mark Prince:
Dr Mark Prince is CEO and Founder of the Kiyan Prince Foundation, a charity borne out of pain, suffering and grief. Through a series of personal challenges (homelessness, drugs and alcohol abuse and criminal activity); triumphs and tragedy, the then known Mark Prince, developed a burning desire to support young people embroiled in a downward spiral of urban violence. The devastating tragedy of his son’s murder in 2006 further confirmed the importance of early intervention in a young person’s life in order to prevent what often seems like an inevitable journey into despair.
Education and Sport:
A significant part of the foundation’s work is to target school aged children and young people from primary through to secondary and tertiary education, through mentoring, life skills and training programmes. Being a professional boxer achieving titles such as the IBF and WBO Inter-continental Light-heavy weight Championship by (1997) and fighting for a world title in 1998, Dr Prince has invaluable skills and experiences that help in the development and transformation of young people’s lives for good. His autobiography The Prince of Peace written by Dr Prince and Paul Zanon is already a best seller.
Collaboration:
The Kiyan Prince Foundation is a project that has seen Dr Prince collaborate with a range of notable individuals, organisations, a média, government officials and celebrities to shine a light on the socio-economic issues impacting on young people and families nationally. He has been involved in the creation and the was the feature of the ITV documentary, “Put the Knives and Guns Down” screened on ITV London Tonight Special; panel member for The News of The World’s “Save Our Streets” campaign; keynote speaker at Metropolitan Police Operation Trident Program; and guest speaker at conferences such as, the NBCPA National Black Crown Prosecutors Association Annual Conference and the National Governor Prison Association Annual Conference.
Recognition and Vision:
In recognition of the significant contribution to the community and fight against knife crime, Dr Prince has received several well-deserved awards e.g. The Children’s Champion Award from Prime Minister Gordon Brown; an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Excel University; and recently in the Queen’s New Year Honours list (2019) to receive an OBE.
It is the foundation’s vision to obtain funding/raise the revenue to deliver#inspiringfuturechampionsa campaign which involves delivering powerful messages to every school in London first, with inspirational speakers who are high level influencers amongst young people together with Dr Prince sharing with them how to utilise their strength of will, recognise their potential, individuality, purpose, how to value themselves, come back from adversity and the power of self-belief, which when understood all leads to young people steering clear of guns and knives which is a problem of the mind and not of the knife.
Football and Boxing Stars, such as Harry Redknapp, Peter Crouch, Peter Odemwingie, Les Ferdinand and Jimmy Bullard from Football and WBO Inter-Continental Champion Anthony Yarde and WBF International & European Champion Tommy Jacobs from Professional Boxing have pledged their support for the Kiyan Prince Foundation (KPF) Charity event that takes place at the London Irish Centre in Camden in London on Saturday 21st December

Last weekend’s middleweight title showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs also featured the annual Box Fan Expo, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The amazing memorabilia on display and live amateur boxing action complemented an array of past and present world champion fighters available for quick meet and greets.
As a lifelong boxing fan, it was a shame that I only had a little over two hours to spend at the event before heading back to the T-Mobile Arena for the start of the undercard bouts. The time I was able to spend was thoroughly enjoyable. The prices were reasonable to meet these fistic legends and have a few moments to talk and take photos. The average $20 -$25 price for a photo op was significantly less than what would have been lost at the casino in a single roulette spin.
James Toney was there in a suit, proving that he can even make plaid look stylish. For a guy known for a surly nature, he was very accommodating and mentioned he will be in Philadelphia for a live show on June 7 and hopes to see me there.
In the booth next over was Hall-of-Fame broadcaster Al Berstein, who I had the privilege of interviewing in 2011. When told of my admiration of his classy work and being a fan since his days with Barry Tompkins on ESPN’s Thursday Night Fights, he was humble and appreciative.
The line to meet Roy Jones Jr. was long but worth the wait. While the time to talk with Roy was short, I was able to mention what an honor it was to meet one of the greatest performers of my generation and how I sat only a few feet from him when he was on the Creed II set.
While the line to meet the legendary Sugar Ray Leonard was exceptionally long, you could see he was truly enjoying himself, flashing that million-dollar smile and doing his famous fists-raised photo op with fans. Unfortunately, with time running short, I did not have the opportunity to meet one of my favorite fighters growing up. I would have loved to have shown him a photo when I was four-years-old, swinging away on the Sugar Ray Leonard punching bag I was given.
A few feet away was one of Sugar Ray’s most-famous rivals, the great Thomas “Hitman” Hearns. While the Hitman has shown some slowing as he has aged, he still proves to be an imposing figure, but he now replaces that fearsome glare with a warm smile.
Also coming up to meet Thomas Hearns was current IBF Super-Featherweight Champion Tevin Farmer, a fellow Philadelphian, who I’ve had the opportunity to watch grow from a 7-4-1 journeyman boxer to a 29-4-1 világbajnok.
My visit wouldn’t be complete without stopping to see “The Pazmanian Devil” Vinny Paz, always one of my favorite action fighters and charismatic personalities. Instead of a handshake, he greeted me with a big hug and expressed disappointment that my dad didn’t join me at the expo.
In the short time frame, it was impossible to meet all of the great fighters there including Michael Spinks, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, and Earnie Shavers. With it being Cinco de Mayo weekend, the lines for some of the Mexican legends wrapped around the convention center floor. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, and Juan Manuel Marquez all proved to be exceptionally popular. But nothing compared to the roar of the pro-Mexican crowd when the great Julio Cesar Chavez was introduced.
Attending this event was a dream come true and I could only wish I had more time to spend at the event. Everything was so professionally done and those in attendance were beyond accommodating.
Kudos toBox Fan Expofor such an exceptional event.
