NOVA IORQUE (Abril 5, 2017) – Empresário de boxe Veteran Stan Hoffman is honored to be selected for induction in the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF), patrocinado pelo Anel 8, as a member of 15-member Class of 2017. The sixth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner will be held Domingo tarde (12:30-5:30 p.m. E), Abril 30, em Russo On The Bay em Howard Beach, Nova Iorque.

Hoffman, 86, has managed, advised or promoted 38 world champions during nearly 50 years working in the boxing industry. A product of Brooklyn and Bronx, Hoffman still advises some boxes and attends fights, but he enjoys spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

“I’m told that I’ve had 38 world champions and I have a story for each one of them,” Hoffman said. “Almost from the beginning, em 1980, I had success in boxing. Joe Manley is special because he was the first fighter I signed and also my first world champion. Team USA didn’t send a team to the 1980 Jogos Olímpicos (because of a boycott) and Joe was lost. Nobody expected him to on to win the world junior welterweight title like he did. The pinnacle of my career was my first heavyweight champion, Michael Benntt. Bob Arum called asking if I wanted to make some money using Bentt in a tune-up fight for Tommy Morrison, who had a big money fight lined up with Lennox Lewis. Michael knocked him out in the first round (for Morrison’s WBO heavyweight title). EHasim Rahman | is like my kid. A partir de Iran Barkley para James Toney, I have stories about all of them.”

“After spending so many years of my life in boxing,” Hoffman concluded, “I was fortunate to have so many world champions. It was a lot of hard work but I had a lot of luck, muito. I’ve met so many good people in boxing. I’ll tell you, I’m going to enjoy being inducted into the New York State Hall of Fame, agora (ele brincou), a lot more than if I’d been dead going in. Estou honrado. It’s also special for me to be inducted in the same class as Ron Katz, who was my matchmaker, Doug DeWitt – I worked with him as a manager and he won the world title – and my good friend, Reynaldo Snipes.
