Baltimore Boxing meets with Baltimore Police Officials! PhilBoxing.com Thu, 28 May 2015  Baltimore, MD (May 27, 2015) ? Jake Smith, CEO of Baltimore Boxing Promotions, and his family recently met with Baltimore City Police officials. Smith, a longtime promoter in the Charm City and former professional boxer, was personally impacted by the riots as his gym was temporarily shut down. Having spent his entire life in and around Baltimore, Smith called the riots the worst thing he?s ever seen and feared for the safety of those that had neighboring businesses. Within a few days, order was restored due to an outstanding effort by the Baltimore PD. During the visit, which included time with Chief of Staff Ganesha Martin and Commissioner Anthony Batts, Smith personally thanked them for their heroic efforts. He also donated tickets for his May 29 ?Blood, Sweat & Tears? fight card at Michael?s Eighth Avenue to the department and will honor them during the evening. ?The police are unsung heroes in almost every community,? said Smith. ?It?s unfortunate that certain isolated incidents have many people feeling like law enforcement is bad. We all must remember the good that they?ve done in keeping us safe. They risk their lives to keep crime, drugs and guns off the streets. It?s also important for people in Baltimore to remember how scary it was living here during the riots. The men and women of the police department literally had to face violent protesters while significantly outnumbered. For all that they did to restore the city I love, the absolute least I can do is donate tickets and honor them on fight night. I believe that we all owe them a big thank you for protecting us.? Tickets for ?Blood, Sweat & Tears? can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175 or going to Baltimoreboxing.com. Individual tickets start at $25 and VIP tables of 10 are available for $500. All VIP ticketholders can enjoy free hors d?oeurves from 7-8 pm, the best seats in the house and a special meet and greet with five time world champion Vinny Paz. In addition to honoring the policemen and women, Baltimore Boxing is proudly teaming up with Unified Efforts. Since their founding in 2012 by former Baltimore detective Debbie Ramsey, Unified Efforts is a full-service bullying prevention organization that has helped raise awareness throughout the Charm City. To assist with the program, Baltimore Boxing will donate tickets and proceeds from a 50/50 raffle on fight night. For more information on Baltimore Boxing Promotions, visit Baltimoreboxing.com  |
