The Coliseum, as many will remember, was the scene of many great boxing matches including the Eusebio Pedroza-Bernard Taylor world featherweight championship in 1982 which ended in an exciting draw. Again, the inductees this year reflect the rich history of boxing both amateur and professional in this area in the last 100 years. We are expecting many members as well as other celebrities for this event. Refreshments will be served and the press conference will commence at 2:00 p.m. sharp. Thanks,...
