"I had been around the filming of “The Fighter” movie and had been speaking to Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg about boxing and training. They both encouraged me to come out to LA and see how I like it, take a shot at it."
On May 18, 2002, Micky Ward (38-13, 27 KO’s) and Arturo Gatti (40-9, 31 KO’s) would engage in what would be one of the greatest fights in boxing history.
Events like this remind everyone of what boxing meant to this city will hopefully spark more activity soon and maintain its rich tradition of world-class boxing.
