By Michele Chong
This weekend will be an epic one as the nonprofit Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame (NVBHOF) hosts its yearly Induction Gala at Caesars in Las Vegas. This charitable organization will helm their 5th annual event–and this year promises to be bigger than ever.
I've been fortunate to have covered this highly-anticipated bash since its inception with legendary sportscaster and NVBHOF Founder Rich Marotta. This star-studded gathering attracts the biggest and brightest names in the sport and offers boxing aficionados a golden opportunity to meet their heroes in a fan-friendly environment for all. THIS Friday and Saturday, August 11 and 12 will offer unique and exciting events for the ticket holders. Here is my special preview of what the attendees can expect from the 2017 Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame weekend!
