Hopefully we break a record while also raising money for a good cause,” said Kevin Massimino, ASWSU vice president and one of the organizers for this project. Massimino is organizing this venture as a student for a class group project. With the current world record at 2,826 participants, Massimino said the goal is to get 3,000 partici- pants and to raise $20,000 for Team Gleason, an organization founded by former NFL safety and WSU stu- dent, Steve Gleason.

  • Bonjasky to Have Full Fight Camp Following New Year's
    BONJASKY TO HAVE FULL FIGHT CAMP FOLLOWING NEW YEAR’S EVE TOURNAMENT PARTICIPATION London, England (Nov. 23, 2012) – The highly-anticipated showdown between Remy Bonjasky (76-14, 40 KO’s) and Tyrone Spong (68-6-1 42 KO’s) will take place on Saturday, March 23 at the Excel Arena in London, England, it was announced today by Glory Sports International (GSI), parent company of the Glory World Series. The bout had previously been set for February 16 but with Bonjasky being set to participate in the GLORY 4 – TOKYO: GRAND SLAM 16-man mega-tournament on New Year’s Eve, it was decided that February would potentially be too soon for him to get back in the ring. He will now have several more weeks to recover from his tournament bouts and get in peak condition for his first-time meeting with Spong. “Remy was more than happy to take part in the tournament and then fight again in February,” explains GLORY Chairman Pierre Andurand. “But this is the first time that he and Spong will have fought and there was such huge interest in the match when we announced it that we decided to move the date and give him some time to rest up. It means that he and Spong will be in peak condition when they face each other.” Marcus Luer, Managing Director of GLORY, added, “The worldwide interest in Spong vs. Bonjasky has been absolutely huge. Within literally minutes of it being announced we were inundated with requests for tickets and broadcast details. “With this fight being of such magnitude to fans worldwide, we want both fighters to be at their absolute best for this historic first meeting.
