« Kathy est l'un des meilleurs promoteurs dans le monde du sport, » a déclaré Peter Nelson, vice-président de HBO Sports. Photo from The Ring archive“We chased that fight. Tomasz was going into an eliminator, he just needed a promoter to make the deal.

I remember the night of the first fight, when it ended our mouths were hanging open. The farewell fight turned into that fight with Micky Ward and that jump-started his career instead of ending it.

We held press conferences separately, we kept them apart.

It was like a death. RDS.ca

They put blankets around Bowe too. They started trying to beat the guy up. On both sides everybody wanted everything and nobody was budging.“The deal finally gets made and we plan a press conference.
We don’t have to be the biggest promoter in the world but we are successful.“We’re just trying to live in the moment for now and get ready for when things get rolling again.”Here’s what Kathy Duva had to say about six of her most memorable nights in the sport:Sugar Ray Leonard (left) and Thomas Hearns meet for the undisputed welterweight crown. [ August 26, 2020 ] Kathy Duva: “I Just Want To See The Fights!” Interviews [ August 25, 2020 ] Danny Garcia: “My Pops Was Telling Too Much Truth, They Banned Him” The Buzz [ August 25, 2020 ] Alycia Baumgardner: “They’re All Gonna Get Their Tests” The Buzz [ August 25, 2020 ] Danny Garcia On Errol Spence: “Its All About Who Wants It More” The Buzz But boxing has a way of pulling you back and here I am.”However, in 2008 Duva thought the end had come and was preparing to close the business down.“It looked like there was no way forward and I was letting people go, but Tomasz Adamek landed on my doorstep and turned everything around,” she recalled. We had agreed we would each go out and get the best site deal we could and whoever got the best deal would get the event. The matinee idol with the gold medal, Ray Leonard, against Tommy from Detroit, the big puncher. Kathy Duva is an American boxing promoter and current CEO of Main Events, a New Jersey-based boxing promotion company. We’re sitting there watching the fight at ringside and Fan Man flew in toward where we were sitting. If you look at the tape I was sitting there with a big smile on my face the whole time because Lennox beat the crap out of him.”Arturo Gatti (right) and Micky Ward throw down in their second fight.“Their first fight was just three weeks before Tyson-Lewis. I remember [Hearns’ trainer] Emanuel [Steward] had Tommy train right up until two days before the fight.

I think, in the end, it’s one of the reasons Tommy didn’t have the stamina to go the whole 15 rounds; he clearly left something in the gym.“I remember Ray’s eyes, like two coals burning, as he looked across the ring at Tommy. He made quite an odd impression.

I just kept saying, ‘No, they can stand five or six feet apart.“I told everyone we should Photoshop a picture for the poster. They started trying to beat the guy up. I told Al Valente, who was the local promoter of Micky and Sal Lonano, who was Micky’s manager, that the fight didn’t belong at Foxwoods. I know it was a draw but that draw was such a slap in the face, it felt like losing.“I remember taking [Pernell] to LA after the fight to do a series of interviews. I remember sitting next to Arturo at the press conference after the fight and looking at his hand that was all swollen.
