Amateur Boxing Returns To LA Boxing In Paramus
PhilBoxing.com Fri, 09 Dec 2011
To close out the year with a bang, LA Boxing in Paramus will be hosting a night of amateur boxing next Friday, December 16.
Amateur boxing not only gives kids the opportunity to work their way up the rankings and gain exposure, but for the kids who don?t go into the Olympics or turn professional, amateur boxing instills a great work ethic in them and is a strong character builder.
?This is the last USA Boxing event of the year, for New Jersey,? said Mike Rizzo, Competition Boxing Coach/Trainer of LA Boxing in Paramus. ?It is going to be a big card, one of the biggest of the year. There?s going to be around 20 bouts or so with all different weight classes and divisions.?
Mike Rizzo has been around the fight game since the age of five, and has been training up-and-coming fighters for several years now. Adamant about spreading awareness of amateur boxing, he coordinated the first of LA Boxing?s amateur shows earlier this year, and is aiming to make it a recurring even.
?Our show in May was great, and looking forward, we would like to have two shows a year,? said Rizzo. ?We are lucky to have fighters from some of the top gyms fighting on the show, and with it being the last of the year, we are going to do it as big as we can.?
Top local amateurs are expected to go to battle as they look to continue to make a name for themselves and work their way up the amateur circuit.
Amateur boxing is more than about fighting, it?s about the kids. It teaches them camaraderie that is felt amongst boxers of all levels, and can help them establish contacts both in and out of the ring that are invaluable.
Muscle Maker Grill is sponsoring the event, and food and beverages will be sold at the show.
The doors open for the show at 6:30 p.m. Friday, December 16, and the first bout is scheduled for 7:30. Tickets can be purchased for $25 in advance by visiting LA Boxing in Paramus, or at the door the night of the event.
