Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame Sets 2024 Event Gala

Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame announced their 2023-2024 Inductees will be honored August 9-10, 2024 in Las Vegas.

Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame President Michelle Corrales-Lewis said, “I’m always excited to welcome the new classes of inductees into our Hall. Celebrating their accomplishments is something very near and dear to my heart. All of these great boxing figures have made strong contributions to the Silver State’s reputation as ‘Boxing Capital’ of the World.”

Legit good guy Rich Marotta checked in with NYF, and I appreciated his humility, acknowledging it’s not the easiest time to pull off endeavors like this.

Rich admitted he didn’t know all the different sides of this mission, and he’s happy the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame keeps on rumblin’ along

“These are very hard to put together which is why I got out of that part several years ago,” said the West Coast on-air talent. “I had no business nor event-planning experience whatsoever.  Believe me it showed up on my profit /loss sheet.   Michelle Corrales-Lewis is now President and her brother Anthony Randolph handles that end of it.”

As for the festivities? “We have a full two days of activities on Fri/Sat. I'm always psyched about bringing former rivals together in friendly atmosphere. To see Leonard hugging it out with Hagler, Tyson giving the induction speech for Holyfields,  Barrera and Morales laughing, joking and signing autographs together—-that’s my favorite aspect of Induction weekend. You're never sure how those will work out.”

This year we have Kostya Tszyu and Zab Judah in the same class and an added ingredient, Jay Nady who reffed their bout with all the craziness that ensued.  Also, the induction of our first Native American Marvin Camel should be a terrific moment!”

The Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame runs August 9-10 at The Orleans Hotel.

NVBHOF Vice-President Anthony Randolph: “Holding our gala at The Orleans is a natural. It has a boxing history, having held several cards in the past.

The NSBHOF inducted Money Mayweather in 2021

“We have watched with great interest and admiration how The Orleans has successfully hosted the Induction events of the Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame and the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame.”

Zab Judah, the 46 year old Brownsville, Brooklyn native, fought from 1996-2019. The slick lefty ran up a 44-10 record.

A two division world champ, the hitter will go in with Tim Bradley, who now works as an analyst for ESPN/Top Rank.
