PhilBoxing.com





Lampley Brings His Bestselling Memoir IT HAPPENED! A Uniquely Lucky Life in Sports Television to Warwick's in San Diego on Wednesday and Freddie Roach's Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood on Saturday

NEW YORK (May 6, 2025) -- Hall of Fame sports broadcaster Jim Lampley has gone from ringside commentator to road warrior. Last Friday, May 2, Lampley, to great acclaim, called blow by blow on the Ring Magazine championship boxing card, which was streamed live, from Times Square, on DAZN PPV. The event which featured Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, and Teofimo Lopez in separate bouts, was the first boxing card Lampley called since Dec. 8, 2018, the last time live boxing was televised on HBO.

Now, Lampley is back on the road continuing his national book tour promoting his bestselling memoir, IT HAPPENED! A Uniquely Lucky Life in Sports Television (Matt Holt Books), an entertaining book about Lampley's life, including his 50-year broadcasting career which began during the golden era of sports television at ABC Sports under the legendary Roone Arledge. This week, Lampley is in Southern California.

On Wednesday, at 7 p.m. PT, Lampley will be in the San Diego area at Warwick's (7812 Girard Ave., La Jolla, CA 92037) where he and sports broadcaster Scott Kaplan will host a conversation and audience Q&A about Lampley's memoir, followed by a book signing. Remaining seats may be reserved here: Jim Lampley - It Happened! | Warwick’s (warwicks.com)

On Saturday, at 2 p.m. PT, Lampley will be in Los Angeles where Hall of Fame trainer world-famous Freddie Roach will host a book signing at his Hollywood-based Wild Card Boxing Club (1123 Vine St. -- just north of Santa Monica Blvd. -- Hollywood, CA 90038). Lampley's book will be available for purchase. Lampley and Roach will only be signing copies of Lampley's memoir. Churro Champ (owned and operated by pro boxer Hugo Centeno) and Tacos 1986 will be serving complimentary fare. The Wild Card Boxing Store will also be open with last-minute Mother's Day and early Father's Day gift options.

IT HAPPENED! is available in Hardcover, eBook, and Audiobook (narrated by Lampley) at all major booksellers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and across the pond at Amazon.co.uk.
