  • Jesse Hart's March 18 Homecoming Recalls a Time
    JESSE HART’S MARCH 18 HOMECOMING RECALLS A TIME WHEN LOCAL STARS BOXED IN THEIR BACKYARDS Philadelphia, PA—How did super middleweight Jesse Hart go from fighting Feb. 27 at the Theatre in Madison Square Garden on an HBO championship card to a March 18 non-televised show from the 2300 Arena in South Philadelphia? The answer says a lot about the direction boxing has traveled in recent memory. “I don’t want to fight on someone else’s undercard,” Hart said recently, removing himself from his off-TV fight underneath Terrance Crawford’s WBO junior welterweight title defense against Hank Lundy, another Philadelphian, in New York City. “I wanted to be the main event in Philadelphia where my dad (Eugene “Cyclone” Hart) was a star years ago,” Hart added. “I called up my promoter, Bob Arum, and explained this to him and he gave me the green light.” Hart’s NABA and USBA championship belts will be at stake against Dashon Johnson, of Escondido, CA, who is riding a four-bout winning streak. “I applaud Jesse for his foresight,” said J Russell Peltz, whose company will stage the March 18 card along with Top Rank, BAM Boxing and Joe Hand Promotions. “I don’t understand why more fighters don’t think like Jesse.” Hart, who has scored 16 knockouts on his 19-0 record, is pounding the pavement for the March 18 card, acting as part of the promotional team. “It’s not even about the money,” Hart said, “because I’m taking a pay cut to fight in Philly.
