Baltimore, MD (January 18, 2012) – Jake “The Snake” Smith of Baltimore Boxing Promotions and Ballroom Boxing announced that they’ll give back to the community by donating more than 100 tickets to wounded warriors and amateur fighters for the January 26 Baltimore vs Navy card at Michael’s Eighth Avenue.
The amateur boxers receiving the tickets are all fighting on the Baltimore vs Navy card and keep 100% of the money generated by ticket sales, while each of the wounded warriors is being brought from Walter Reid Hospital to Michael’s Eighth Avenue by a special bus funded by the promoters.
“The most exciting part of the evening for me is to see the looks on wounded warriors’ faces,” said Ballroom Boxing CEO Scott Wagner, who promoted more than 70 shows in Maryland. “They’re honored by fans and love the sport. The response they get from the crowd and give to the fighters is great.” Smith, who like Wagner hosted various fight cards in the Old Line State, is happy that he’s able to help make a difference.
“It means a lot to me knowing that the money generated by the fighters’ ticket sales will help them pay for tournaments,” stated Smith, the owner of Baltimore Boxing & Fitness. “A lot of these kids work just as hard of the pros and they’re also honorable citizens, so giving them tickets is the least I can do.”
Baltimore vs The Navy will showcase more than ten bouts between the top fighters from each squad and all matches are sanctioned by USA Boxing. In addition to an excellent night of action, a large donation is being made to the children of Beethaevean Scotland, who tragically passed away in 2001 from injuries sustained during a fight.
Advanced tickets start at $25 and can be purchased on Baltimoreboxing.com or by calling 410-375-9175. Individual VIP seats are available $50 and tables of ten are $500. All VIP ticket holders receive catered food prior to the first bout of the evening. Doors open at 7 pm and the first bell is scheduled for 8:15.
Michael’s Eighth Avenue is located at 7220 Grayburn Drive in Glen Burnie, MD 21061
