Presidents Report- January 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hoping that 2012 will be a Banner Year for the NABF

 The recent WBC Convention in Las Vegas had to be in my opinion the best yet, over ninety (90) present and former Champions in attendance as well as over eleven hundred (1,100) guests. A great time was had by all. A tremendous job by the WBC Office staff.

 NABF Convention- 2012

We are looking into holding our Convention in conjunction with the WBC in Cancun, Mexico in November. It would mean less expense to our members who generally attend both Conventions. As this will be the 50^th, Anniversary of the WBC it is sure to be a great gathering of Champions as well as boxing friends.

 Fight Results”

On 22 December in Oklahoma City, Michael Medina defeated Champion, Grady Brewer by Unanimous Decision to gain the NABF Super Welterweight Title.

 Upcoming Bouts:

6 January in Key West, Florida, Dyah Davis meets Alphonso Lopez for the Vacant Super Middleweight Title.

21 January at Roseland Ballroom, NYC Gabriel Bracero defends his Super Lightweight title against Michael Clark.

28 January at Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York Brian Minto takes on Tony Grano in a Heavyweight Elimination bout.

 To date since our June Convention, Twenty Seven (27) NABF Title bouts.

 On 18 December Ring 8 awarded it’s Humanitarian Award to our own Jill Diamond. A well deserved honor.

In closing I want to acknowledge the outstanding work by your Board of Officer’s in this past year. It has been my pleasure working with each of them.

 In your corner,
Joe Dwyer
