Stellar
5th Annual Charity Event Announced!
(APR 23) HUNTINGTON, NY - — On May 18, Frankie G Productions along with
Bob Duffy’s Ring Promotions return to the Huntington Townhouse in Long
Island with an absolutely stellar card. The co-main event spotlights hot
up and coming prospect Joe Greene (9-0 7 KOs) of Brooklyn, facing
Newark’s Eric Graham (10-3-2 5 KOs) in an 8-round affair. The second
half of the co- main event marks the return of “Contender” cast member
Jimmy Lange (26-3-1 18 KOs) facing an opponent to be determined. Also
added in a 6-round special attraction is James McGirt Jr. (11-0 7 KOs)
son of world famous trainer and two-time welterweight champ James
“Buddy” McGirt. Also scheduled to appear on the card is exciting
female boxer Jamie McGrath (1-0).
The “sweet science” gives back to the community as Frankie G and Ring
Promotions have not only put together one of their best cards but have,
for the fifth time, made this a charity dinner event. Charity donations
are going to be contributed to three very significant organizations, The
Veterans from Northport Hospital, the Huntington Station Fire
Department, and the Veteran Boxing Association-Ring 8. In addition to
the generosity of Frankie G and Bob Duffy, The Contender’s Jimmy Lange
is donating his entire purse to Ring 8. “This is very important to us,
giving back, especially to these three organizations who have
contributed so much to the community,” stated Frankie G. “We are proud
to be able to give back to the Veterans who fought for this country, to
the volunteer fire department who risk their lives to keep us safe, and
to Ring 8 who ties the retired boxing community together.” For anyone
who has been to a Ring Promotions event one thing is for sure, you will
get your money’s worth. To Promoter Bob Duffy, a 20-year veteran of the
sport, nothing is more important than to put on quality fights. This
being their 18th show, Ring Promotions have built a very fan-friendly
reputation. “Brilliant matchmaking by Pete Brodsky is what makes our
events stand out,” states Duffy. “No one wants to pay good money to see
one-sided fights and first round blowouts. We are committed to bring the
fans an exciting night of action and competitive fights that they
deserve.” It is this attitude that has made Ring Promotions and Frankie
G Productions events a success.
This event is expected to have 8 exciting bouts, an updated card will be
announced in the coming weeks. Prices for this event are $160 (VIP
Ringside), which includes 2-hour cocktail party, cigars, and a
seven-course meal served at your ringside table with all drinks
included; $30 (General admission). The Huntington Townhouse is located
at 124 East Jericho Turnpike, Huntington Station in Long Island NY. VIP
reception starts at 5:45pm, General admission doors open at 6:30pm. For
