I am proud to officially announce my 6th Official Amateur Boxing Reunion that will take place on March 18 at Monique’s Lounge in Harlem, Нью Йорк.

Of the over 100 boxers attending this far, among them I expect the likes of 1988 Олимпиада ойындарының күміс жүлдегері Riddick Big Daddy Bowe, NYC Golden Gloves Champ Poison” Кіші Jones, 1984 Olympic champ Марк Breland, 1974 National Junior Olympic champ Марлон Starling, 1996 USA Olympic team captain Lawrence Балшық-Bey мен 1988 National Golden Gloves Champion белгі “Тым өткір” Джонсон.
At my past reunions, including the most recent one held at the Rival Boxing Store in Las Vegas on Қараша 18, we’ve had the likes of Roy Jones Jr., Alex “Bronx Bomber” Ramos, 1992 Olympian Montell Griffin, former three time world champions Mike McCallum and Iran Barkley, мен “The Fighterand Irish Micky Ward in attendance.
Among the most special of moments at my reunions, we had Mike McCallum and Alex Ramos, who met each other in the semi-finals of the 1980 NYC Golden Gloves, reconnect in Las Vegas in late 2014, we had Luis Ortiz and Lawrence Clay-Bey, who were brought together in 2015 at Foxwoods after not only not seeing each other in 38 YEARS but after not even knowing they fought against each other in 1977 until just a few days before they reunited and in NYC over the summer of 2015 we had 1984 New York City Golden Gloves 156 pound champion and runner up DennisThe MagicianMilton and Jesse Lanton connect once again.
Any media who wish to attend the event in Harlem, New York on March 18 are more than welcome to be a part of the festivities.
