Red Leather Sports, who brought ESPN back to North Carolina is primed to promote a night of excitement, intrigue, and significance as we will be raising awareness for another worthy charity yet to be decided. This riveting evening of economic awareness through professional boxing is all to benefit our households as well as our communities. So, get ready… get set… and let's GO!!! … for REDEMPTION NIGHT ~ The Best Show Ever ~ !!!
The main event features John "Spidey" Williams who is a multiple NC Golden Glove winner and is looking to gain his eighth win as a young professional. Spidey, a published author and poet will allow his pen to rest... all while his FIST display him best! We are attempting to secure a contract with a former Mexican Olympian to challenge Spidey and see if he can continue his dominance. However, this Olympian if we can get him, has not only the credentials as an amateur but has never faced a professional fighter with a single loss. So, Spidey faces his third amateur standout turned pro, while the Olympian faces his first oppnent that is not undefeated! This will be a fight for the ages and a significant test for Spidey as he faces his second Olympian in his first 10 fights!
Keeping with the Olympian theme Jose Salvador Garcia Sanchez represented Mexico in the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. This proud Olympian will be bringing 2 of his fighters to Charlotte to extend his legacy from fighter to trainer. Noe Hernandez the NABC Jr Middleweight champion will be returning to the ring under Garcia's tutelage. Hernandez has taken a long layoff and is now eager to get back into the ring. We are scouring the east coast looking for someone willing to face Hernandez. Also, on the card is Carlos Meno, who will be making his pro debut. The amazing night has 14 pro fights scheduled thus far.
There will be a brief tribute to Dr. Arnold McKnight. Dr. McKnight was a native of Gastonia, NC and became the Chairman of the DC Boxing and Wrestling Commission. He is sorely missed but always remembered as he instilled education and hard work in those he mentored.
Be sure to check out the AMPED 4-A-CURE website at www.amped4acure.org. They are an organization that is locally based and making it happen towards Cancer research! Together, let's not get caught against the ropes by this potentially devastating opponent and make our donated dollars count!
If you are unable to make it personally we encourage you to sponsor a foster child by buying them a general admission ticket and help expose them to constructive ways to utilize all that "young" energy! So be prepared to give back to the community and take in a lot of action as we expect to see you ringside!!!
