Back in early 2013, I stumbled upon an announcement for an event in Las Vegas called the Box Fan Expo. I was energized by the concept of the event, a chance to meet and greet with the biggest names in the sport, past and present. Unfortunately, the event never took place in 2013 but was rescheduled for 2014 and will occur in just over a week on Saturday September 13 at the Las Vegas Convention Center from 10-6.
Billed as the ultimate fan experience, all under one roof, the first ever event of its kind has confirmations from past greats like Mike Tyson, Leon Spinks, Roy Jones Jr., Riddick Bowe, James Toney, and current fighters, Juan Manuel Marquez, Sergio Martinez, Amir Khan, Robert Guerrero, Zab Judah, Mikey Garcia, and Shawn Porter just to name a few.
But it’s not just fighters that will be in attendance; there will be promotion companies like Dibella Entertainment, Iron Mike Productions, and Mayweather Promotions among others as well as gyms, Robert Garcia Boxing, Kronk Gym, and even announcers like Al Bernstein.
If there was a championship belt for event organizers, then Alonzo Benezra is the undisputed champ. Benezra is the brains behind the Expo and the person to thank for the opportunity to meet these icons of the sport and spend a day in the world of the sweet science. “There are few opportunities like this that allow the boxing fan to come face to face with their favorite boxers and other celebrities, which make the Box Fan Expo a truly unique and must see experience” said Benezra.
Yes, this event is going to be epic. I have my tickets, do you????
