Salita Promotions in association with The Fight Factory Gym presented sanctioned seven amateur fights plus one exhibition fight on Sunday evening July first at the gym. A crowd of local fans enjoyed every minute of the three round bouts as they cheered their hearts out. The theme for the show was Fights for Freedom in memory of the events of 40 years ago at the Munich Olympic Games when eleven Israeli athletes and coaches, plus a German police officer were murdered by terrorists after being held hostage.
About midway through the show everyone stood for the traditional ten count for those murdered in 1972. Remedy performed a rap number about the tragedy of the Holocaust and the Munich Games. Just before the final fight a dance troop made up of young ladies entertained with some upbeat steps.
“It was a great show,” said Welterweight contender Dmitriy Salita. “We had a nice crowd, and we had great fights. Remedy performed, there were dancers and State Senator David Storobin was here as well. We had celebrities in the crowd. It was all about entertainment. We want to do this again and do it often. We want the fighters to build a fan base with the crowd. It’s what it’s all about and I think we have something here.”
With the help of sponsors some of the proceeds from the evening will go to benefit boxing gyms in Israel. We want to extend a thank you to The Abramson family, Sushi Meshuga, radio/TV show host Aaron Braunstein, , and David Feld King of Diamonds. Their help made this show possible.
