More than 360 boxing fans and family members filled the Venetian in Garfield on Thursday, November 14th, for the 54th Annual Induction and Award Ceremonies for the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame!
We thank Charlie Norkus Jr., for once again donating 2 FULL tables to the New Jersey Diamond Glove Champions. He has been doing this since 2011, as every New Jersey Diamond Glove Elite Champion receives 2 PAID for tickets each. He says he does it because his father would want too!
As you might know, his father Charlie Norkus Sr., was a top 10 rated heavyweight back in the mid-1950’s, who fought and beat such standouts as Charle Powell, Roland LaStarza and Danny Nardico twice. If you want to see a great fight, just watch their first fight, it was a real classic. He also fought such Greats as Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Willie Pastrano and Tommy Jackson.
We want to thank the Committee that worked the door which included, Dennis Murphy Sr., Dennis’s son, Matt Murphy, Stefani Belloise, John Poturaj, Robert O’Connell and my grandson, Jacob Fogge.
We thank our Commissioner, Larry Hazzard, who adds so much to our event, along with Jackie Atkins and Samad Haq, for all the work they do!
