A Boxer's Commitment to Celebrating Greatness

As a boxer and hall of fame promoter with over 35 years of experience, I recognized a significant gap in Ohio's sporting landscape - the absence of a dedicated boxing hall of fame. My journey has been driven by a deep passion for the sport and a burning desire to create a platform that truly honors the incredible athletes who have shaped boxing's rich history. 

Growing up surrounded by the sport, I understood that these champions were more than just athletes; they were storytellers, cultural icons, and inspirational figures who deserved a permanent place of recognition. My dream of establishing the Ohio Boxing Hall of Fame has been years in the making, culminating in this groundbreaking first induction event in May 2025. By bringing together legendary boxers like Mike Tyson, Zab Judah, and Buster Douglas, I'm not just creating an event, but establishing a legacy that will inspire future generations of boxers and sports enthusiasts. My commitment goes beyond a single ceremony - I aim to build an annual tradition that celebrates the extraordinary achievements of boxers, preserves their stories, and ensures that their contributions to the sport are never forgotten.
