A sold-out crowd of more than 500 enjoyed a day of boxing.

“People came out in force and this was our largest attendance ever,” RING 8 President and dinner chairman Bob Duffy said. “On behalf of all RING 8 members, I’d like to thank everybody for attending, especially the award winners, many of whom traveled a great distance to be with us on the silver anniversary of our Holiday Event and Awards Ceremony.”

“A good time was had by all,” Duffy continued. “All of the award winners received a brass plaque, exclusively molded for RING 8. Manny liked it so much that he took it home on the plane and proudly showed it off in Detroit. We’re looking forward to next’s year holiday event, as well as the first New York State Boxing Hall of Fame awards dinner on April 1st at Russo’s on The Bay.”
