The 44th Annual New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame Induction & Award Ceremonies on Thursday, November 14th at The Venetian in Garfield, New Jersey, was a Huge Success!
They had well over 500 people in attendance and everyone went home with a smile on their faces.
Mike Tyson, Bernard Hopkins, Ray Mercer, Chuck Wepner, Larry Hazzard, Harold Lederman were among those who attended. Tyson must have signed autographs with everyone and he also took pictures with anyone who wanted too, including most the the honorees and the young New Jersey Diamond Glove Champions.
