לאס אנדזשעלעס (מייַ 29, 2018) – Four-time world champion אַבנער מאַרעס participated in two great events over Memorial Day Weekend, first hosting a Community Day at the L.A. County Sheriff’s Century Boxing Gym on Thursday, and then throwing out the first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers’ game on Sunday afternoon.
Mares is preparing for a world championship rematch against featherweight titleholder לעאָ סאַנטאַ קרוז שבת, יוני 9 live on SHOWTIME from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
אויף דאנערשטאג, Mares was joined by EMMY Award-winning sports reporter דזשים גרוי, Ringstar Sports Chairman and CEO Richard Schaefer and Mares’ strength and conditioning coach לויס גאַרסיאַ, as the group spoke to 150 children ages seven to 19 on their careers and how champions are built in Los Angeles.
“Boxing is a disciplined and dedicated sport,” האט מאַרעס. “The Sheriffs know that with hard work, dedication and discipline, you can make it in life.
“You think in boxing a perfect record is everything? It isn’t. When you lose you know what makes you a better champion? Getting up, and becoming a champion again. Getting up every time and not quitting. That’s what makes a true champion.”
On Sunday, Mares was at Dodgers Stadium to throw out the ceremonial first pitch as part of Viva Los Dodgers, the monthly series at the stadium that celebrates Latino culture. With fight week right around the corner, Mares was able to enjoy the event with his focus still squarely on his showdown with rival Santa Cruz.
“It’s always great to be able to participate in events like these that directly reach people in my community,” האט מאַרעס. “I’m thankful to the Dodgers for the opportunity and I had a great time on Sunday. I hope everyone who was there comes out to STAPLES Center on June 9 because I’m locked in and ready to put on a great show for the fans in Los Angeles.”
