Hurricane Sandy, one of the largest and fiercest storms to menace the East Coast in years and now is hitting New Jersey with torrential rains, howling winds and widespread flooding leaving millions without power and thousands in need of homes.
Undefeated former World Champion Adrien Broner (Center Right In Purple) and undefeated NABO Heavyweight Champion Seth Mitchell (Center Left In Green) volunteer in the post-Hurricane Sandy clean-up of the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City on November 14, 2012.
“Visiting the Boys & Girls Club is something I am looking forward to. I want to put smiles on people’s faces. I want to make someone’s day better. I would do it every day,” stated the undefeated rising star, Adrien Broner.
Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions is also helping out.
“In an effort to raise funds for the Hurricane Sandy relief, Golden Boy Promotions is donating $2 for every ticket sold and $1,000 for each knockout registered during the event. We will be donating that money to the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City. Caesars Atlantic City and myself, the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation, will match the donations. I am hoping everyone can send that message and raise some money for this cause.
“Adrien Broner is only getting better as his career goes on. He is one of the hardest working fighters in the sport today. He is also known to brush his hair after every victory, rap himself into the ring, and he has already won a title at 130 pounds.
“Not only do we know Adrien as a charismatic fighter, but here is a guy that does wonderful deeds for wonderful people. He went to Iraq to visit the troops for two whole weeks and now is helping the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City. Here is a guy that wants to be great inside the ring and outside of the ring.”
Broner will take on Antonio DeMarco for DeMarco’s WBC Lightweight World title Saturday, November 17 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey and will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing.
