attending the LA gathering on Saturday, Sept. 29 (12-4 p.m. PT), and then
joining the USA Boxing Alumni Association.

“USA Boxing Alumni Association is excited to welcome our west coast members
for an afternoon of camaraderie,” said *Chris Cugliari*, USA Boxing Alumni
Association Executive Director. “We’ve lined up an impressive list of
amateur boxing alumni who have accomplished great things in and out of the
ring. As always, our new members are the engine that drives the Alumni
Association, so we encourage all current members to bring guests to sign up
and receive their USA Boxing Alumni Association merchandise on site. We
look forward to connecting multiple generations of amateur boxing’s finest.”

“I’m very excited about this event in Los Angeles,” added *John Scully*,
USA Boxing Alumni Association board member, and fighter liaison. “I’m
planning to see at least three different boxers who I battled within the
ring back in the 1980’s. One of the guys I’m hoping to meet there I have
not literally seen since the night we fought in October of 1984. In a
nutshell, my meeting with him is what these Alumni Association events are
all about. The comradery between boxers is going to be on full display
September 29th.”

Boxing and its alumni, –boxers, officials, coaches, and boxing fans — the
