Iraqi War veteran Sgt. Eric
Manzebo leads U.S. Marines Boxing Team at Foxwoods Veterans' Day
Spectacular Nov. 11
MASHANTUCKET,
Conn. (October 28, 2005) - Iraqi War veteran Sgt. Eric Manzebo
leads the U.S. Marines Boxing Team from Camp Lejeune (NC) on the
second annual Great Northeast Tour, promoted by S & L Boxing,
and headlined by the November 11th Veterans' Day Spectacular at
Foxwoods Resort Casino.
The Great
Northeast Tour showcases at Foxwoods an amateur boxing
competition involving members of the U.S. Marines, National
Native American, and Team Connecticut amateur boxing clubs.
Sgt. Manzebo,
from Staten Island (NY), recently returned from eight months
active duty in Baghdad. He is matched in a 201-pound heavyweight
novice match against Nate Jimmerson, a member of the Seneca
Tribal Nation in Cauteragues, New York.
Last year a near
sellout crowd enjoyed an evening of boxing and patriotism at
Foxwoods. All five branches of the United States military will
be well represented, either in the ring or in attendance,
including the U.S. Marines, Army (West Point), Navy (Groton
submarine base), Coast Guard (academy in New London) and Air
Force (ROTC at UConn.).
Members of the
U.S. Marines Boxing Team will receive a tour of the Mashantucket
Pequot Museum, which is on the reservation, about a mile from
Foxwoods. For more information about the 2nd annual Great
Northeast Tour call 1.800.200.2882 or visit
