PhilBoxing.com Mon, 14 Nov 2011
NEW YORK, NY (November 13, 2011) - Renown boxing judge and HBO analyst Harold Lederman will be the special guest speaker Tuesday evening (Nov. 15) for RING 8's monthly meeting (7 PM/ET start) at the historic Waterfront Crabhouse in Long Island City.
Lederman, who hails from the Bronx, was an International judge (1967-1989) who worked more than 100 world title fights. Today, he plays a key role as HBO's World Championship Boxing judge analyst.
A graduate of Columbia University, the popular and recognizable Lederman was the 2006 "Good Guys Award" winner of the Boxing Writers Association of America. He is a World Boxing Hall of Fame inductee and this March, it was recently announced, he will also be inducted into New York State Boxing Hall of Fame inaugural class.
"Harold is a good friend, longtime Ring 8 member and one of the most respected people in boxing," RING 8 president Bob Duffy said. "His support for Ring 8 and its work over the years has been invaluable. Harold is a real New York boxing guy. We're grateful to him for agreeing to be our guest speaker this month."
Formed in 1954 by an ex-prizefighter, Jack Grebelsky, RING 8 became the eighth subsidiary of what was then known as the National Veteran Boxers Association -- hence, RING "8" -- and today the organization's motto still remains: Boxers Helping Boxers.
RING 8 is fully committed to supporting the less fortunate people in the boxing community that may require assistance in terms of paying rent, medical expenses, or whatever justifiable need.
Go on line to www.Ring8ny.com for more information about RING 8, the largest group of its kind in the United States with more than 350 members. Annual membership dues is only $25.00 and each member is entitled to a buffet dinner at RING 8 monthly meetings, the third Tuesday of every month, excluding July and August.
