It's always a good idea for our boxers to face a tough opponent prior to any world or Olympic event. Leonard, Ali and De La Hoya are amongst 23 other U.S. Olympic medalists who have competed against Russia in past duals, including 13 golds. Roshii Wells, Antonio Tarver, David Reid, Floyd Mayweather, Nate Jones and Terrance Cauthen all were 1996 Olympic medalists who competed against Russia in 1996, the last victory for the U.S. over Russia. The dinner will be filled with various celebrities including members from the 1984 Olympic Team. Tables are still available and the dinner will be open to boxing fans of all ages.
All donations are tax-deductible.
The dual features 10 members of the U.S. squad who are ranked number one in the nation against a Russian team that features five medal winners at the 1998 Goodwill Games.
