First JAB Fight in
Nevada Set for May 17 May 14, 2004
The Joint Association of Boxers (J.A.B.) will continue to
make history on May 17 at the first unionized boxing event ever held in
Nevada. "Heavyweight Heroes," a five-bout card, will be held at Las Vegas'
Bally's Event Center at 8 p.m.
The 10-round heavyweight main event will feature hard-hitting Olympian Samuel Peter (18-0, 17 KO's) vs. Charles Shufford (20-5, 9 KO's), a crafty veteran. Also featured on the card is Ray Austin, a top ten-ranked heavyweight from Cleveland vs. Gilbert Martinez of Mexico. As with the first J.A.B. match on April 15 in New York City, the event is being put together by Cedric Kushner Promotions. Those attending the Teamsters Unity Conference and the James R. Hoffa Scholarship Tournament can purchase tickets at the conference exhibition area at a 50 percent discount. They can also purchase tickets by calling Jonah Samuel between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EDT at 212-755-1944.
