NEW YORK– Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing announces a promotional alliance with Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club-NYC to produce a new series of star-studded boxing events.
There will be a press conference held this Wednesday at New York’s celebrity favorite, Il Postino Ristorante to officially announce the joint venture and the company’s first upcoming event.
The first event, to be held on December 3rd at the Manhattan Center, will
feature a USBA light welterweight title championship between Star Boxing’s
“Mighty” Mike Arnaoutis (22-3-2, 10KO) and Tim “Pit Bull” Coleman (16-1-1, 4KO).
Also on the card are Brooklyn’s sensational knockout artist Peter “Kid
Chocolate” Quillen (20-0, 15KO) and Star Boxing’s undefeated light welterweight prospect “The New” Ray Robinson (11-0, 4KO).
The series is a collaborative effort between leading boxing promoter Joe
DeGuardia of Star Boxing and Steve Karel, the director of marketing at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club New York. Karel, who also operates Stonecutter Event Promotions, Inc. is a longstanding television industry veteran who also does pay-per-view placement and event marketing.
“We are very excited to be teaming up with the Hustler Club to put together this new series,” stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO and founder of Star Boxing. “We have worked with Hustler in the past on our shows and have always had great success.
We look to build off that past success as we move forward and anticipate a long standing relationship that will produce some of the most entertaining and memorable boxing events to ever be held in New York City.”
“This promotional arrangement was an obvious natural fit,” said Karel. “By
aligning New York’s top gentlemen’s club with legendary Joe DeGuardia, who is one of the leading boxing promoters in the sport, we’re guaranteed to host a series of unforgettable events which are sure to attract celebrities and New York’s most influential people.”
This VIP evening of boxing and entertainment, hosted by world renown boxing
trainer, and HBO commentator Emanuel Steward, will feature gourmet dinner and cocktails in addition to top boxing. Larry Flynt’s Hustler Honeys will serve as ring card girls, hostesses at all VIP dinner tables and will be entertaining late into the evening at the official after-party to be held at the Hustler Club 641 W. 51st street in Manhattan.
