Brick City Boxing

Please see what one of the most influential boxing writers said today about 'Don King's Summer Sizzler' coming up at BankAtlantic Center on July 11 in Sunrise, Fla.:

"It's a fight card that should not be overlooked. It has the potential to be the best boxing show of the summer. Tickets are priced at $75, $40, $25 and $10 with a few "golden circle" seats for $200. It's an excellent card, and at those prices it's definitely worth attending if you're in the area. I think this is the sleeper fight of the summer."
