Boxing Insider Promotions is making waves in Atlantic City, not just with their thrilling professional fight cards, but also by partnering with local organizations to give back to the community. Following the success of their second show at the Tropicana, the promotion is gearing up for another exciting event that will blend high-level boxing with a community-focused initiative.

Empowering the Next Generation of Atlantic City Boxers

Showcasing Amateur Talent and Fostering Community Engagement

On the heels of their professional event on November 16th, Boxing Insider Promotions is collaborating with the Atlantic City Police Athletic League (PAL) to host a special all-amateur showcase the following afternoon. Dubbed the "Battle at the Shore," this event will feature some of the best amateur boxers from New Jersey and beyond, providing them with a unique opportunity to compete in a professional setting.The partnership between Boxing Insider and the Atlantic City PAL is a testament to the promotion's commitment to giving back to the local community. "This is huge for us," enthused Atlantic City Police Lt. Willie Santiago, who has been with PAL for over a decade. "It is our biggest fundraiser of the year." The event will not only raise funds for the PAL's valuable youth programs, but it will also give the young athletes a chance to showcase their skills in front of their families and friends.

Empowering the Next Generation of Champions

The Atlantic City PAL boxing program has a long and storied history, having produced a wealth of accomplished fighters over the past three decades. "I'm so excited for the kids who will get to box in a pro setting for the first time," Santiago shared. "We're going to have 15 to 20 kids participating, and two of my former students, Justin Figueroa and Francisco Rodriguez, will be helping with handing out the belts."This event represents a significant milestone for the PAL program, as it aims to not only celebrate the achievements of its young athletes but also inspire the next generation of boxing champions. "This is an event we would like to have annually and show that the city supports amateur boxing, with the longer-term goal of one day hosting the Golden Gloves, in Atlantic City," Santiago added.

Fostering a Lasting Impact on the Community

For Larry Goldberg, the founder of Boxing Insider Promotions, this partnership with the Atlantic City PAL is a natural extension of his commitment to the local community. "This PAL event is pure," he stated. "It is 100% a charity event. I'm proud to assist in any capacity." Goldberg, an Atlantic City native himself, recognizes the vital role that programs like the PAL play in providing young people with the tools they need to succeed.By hosting this amateur showcase, Boxing Insider Promotions is not only shining a spotlight on the talented young athletes of Atlantic City but also demonstrating the power of community-driven initiatives. "This is my home," Goldberg said. "Programs like the Atlantic City PAL give the next generation the tools they need to succeed, and I am excited to help with this fundraiser."
