Aguilera, Hall of Fame author and famed boxing historian; Champion Greg Puente, number one super bantamweight from the Main St. Gym, who will also be an MC.
Sugar Shane Mosley will attend, and also appearing will be Jimmy Gambina from the movie Rocky, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Rocky movie.
