On the night, Frank Warren will present the prestigious Nordoff Robbins Boxing Icon Award to this year’s winner; modern British boxing great David Haye, in celebration of his glittering career and sporting achievements. ‘The Hayemaker’ stands as the hottest Cruiserweight turned Heavyweight commodity since boxing legend Evander ‘The Real Deal’ Holyfield, scooping and unifying all the major World Cruiserweight titles within an explosive four month period before capturing the WBA World Heavyweight Championship. Guests on the night will be treated to the following fight card: THE VACANT SOUTHERN AREA SUPER-MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP ALAN HIGGINS V ERIC McKONZO SUPER-BANTAMWEIGHT CONTEST RAZZA HAMZA V JOSE AGUILLER SUPER-MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTEST LERRONE RICHARDS V GORDON GLISIC Undefeated Super-Middleweight Alan Higgins will headline the night’s boxing – hailing from Kentish Town, northwest London, Higgins will challenge for his first professional title in the Vacant Southern Area Super-Middleweight Championship against the rough and ready challenger from Bethnal Green, east London, Eric McKonzo as he continues his march up the domestic 168lb division. The card will also feature two undefeated talents under the Queensberry Promotions banner: Birmingham’s Razza Hamza 5-0 (4KO’s), and New Malden Super-Middleweight Lerrone Richards 4-0 (1KO) Guests will be lead through the evening by BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing veteran Anton du Beke, which includes a drinks reception, three-course dinner and an exclusive live performance from recording artist and stage star Beverley Knight. Now in its eighth year, the event aims to raise all-important funds to help Nordoff Robbins change lives through music therapy. Nordoff Robbins provides tens of thousands of music therapy sessions each year throughout the UK, helping people with autism, sensory impairment, dementia and numerous other conditions. The event also raises funds for the London ex-Boxer Association. At last year’s event, guests enjoyed an action-packed night of Championship Boxing featuring European, British and Commonwealth Welterweight Champion Bradley ‘Super’ Skeete, Cruiserweight prospect Simon Barclay, undefeated Manchester Super-Welterweight starlet Macaulay McGowan, red- hot Swansea Super-Flyweight Jay Harris with a performance from 2015 X Factor contestant Monica Michael. Nordoff Robbins Boxing Committee Chairman and Worldwide President of The Agency Group, Neil Warnock, said: “We are proud to say that the Boxing Dinner has been going strong for eight years now and we are prouder still to be able to say that it has raised over £250,000 to date for Nordoff Robbins. The money raised allows the charity to continue their vital work in delivering music therapy to vulnerable and isolated people across the UK. My sincerest thanks to everyone who has made this event possible, including Frank Warren and Box Nation. We trust everyone will have a great time and we wish all of our Boxers the very best of luck in the ring!” Frank Warren, Chairman of BoxNation, said: “I am absolutely delighted to once again be involved in helping the Nordoff Robbins boxing dinner for the eighth year running. The work that Nordoff Robbins carry out in schools, day centres, hospitals and care homes is vital in transforming the lives of those that need help. I have seen the truly amazing results they achieve with music therapy and events such as these help raise much needed funds; please give generously.” For further information or press enquires: Daniel Barnard – [email protected] Tanya Gerreli – [email protected]/ 0208 428 2754 About Nordoff Robbins Nordoff Robbins is the largest independent music therapy charity in the UK, dedicated to changing the lives of vulnerable and isolated people.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 4 Cultural Economies of Scale This chapter looks at how the culture of boxing and the sport’s economy at local and global levels interconnect to produce the cultural economy of boxing. It aims to provide an explanation of the relationship between boxing, its embodied practices and local routine performance and the economic culture which makes it possible and drives the sport along particular trajectories. This chapter starts with the dialogue between the economic demands of globalized sport and the links between the economic context and local practices and investments in the sport. The media are a focus in this chapter because of their powerful involvement in the making of the cultural economy of boxing. The chapter uses examples of the representation of boxing and the making of its celebrities and heroes in shaping its cultural economy as well as the particularities of boxing and its capacities for change, for example through its localized practices and the continuance of amateur boxing. The chapter offers a discussion of some of the capacities boxing has for attracting illegitimate as well as legitimate finance and the complicated intersection of personal and local commitments and the forces of global capital.

  • When Bell Sounds, Surgeon Answers Ringside Calling
    When Bell Sounds, Surgeon Answers Ringside Calling Dr. Victor Khabie checks on junior middleweight boxer Carlos Cisneros, left, who was knocked down during a fight at Cordon Bleu in Woodhaven, Queens, on June 24, 2011. July 4, 2011 By GREG BISHOP One recent Friday, the orthopedic surgeon Victor Khabie performed seven operations, grabbed a sandwich and fought traffic to a ballroom in Queens to care for athletes who walked willingly into fists. They call themselves boxers. Khabie calls them patients. This presents a contradiction for Khabie and other doctors who moonlight as ringside physicians. They come from the world of medicine, which is predicated on healing, into the world of boxing, which is predicated on pain. Khabie must reconcile these worlds, for a few hundred dollars a fight, while his patients cut, bruise and disfigure each other for sport. “It’s tough, but we do the best we can for them,” Khabie said. “If society says we don’t want boxing, then I wouldn’t be taking care of boxers. But I’m not a politician. I do know these boxers need help, these boxers are hurt, and often they have no one to take care of them.” On Saturday, the heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko defeated David Haye in Germany in a fight shown on HBO. Khabie watched both boxers and the physicians who watched over them. In 2006, he examined Klitschko before a bout at Madison Square Garden. That fight, with the boxer Laila Ali on the undercard and her father, Muhammad Ali, in attendance, served as a career highlight.
