Meet Former Heavyweight Champ Larry Holmes

We are going to kickoff 2012 in a big way. Larry Holmes, also know as the “Champ,” who honed his skills working as a sparring partner with impressive fighters such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Earnie Shavers and Jimmy Young, will be available for a meet and greet that is open to the public with purchase of a ticket to Golden Boy Boxing on Jan 6, 2012. Holmes earned his Heavyweight Title in 1978 and reigned as the world heavyweight champion for more than seven years. His left jab is considered one of the greatest weapons in the history of sports. He had a comeback in the 1990’s, at an age when most fighters wouldn’t think about returning. During that time, he had 21 wins, 2 of which were for titles.
