Rumored ‘Night of 100 Fight Legends’ a knockout boxing spectacular

By Robin Leach

I’ve started to hear very early, but definite, rumblings about the ultimate boxing spectacular being staged right here in Vegas. It would reunite all the former world champions, in their different weight classes, who are still alive. I’m told that some of them will even go three rounds of exhibition boxing to duplicate their past match-ups.

“It would be a sports history night never to be repeated, just a one-night-only event with every legend of the sport,” I was told. “It will all be for charity. Some of the boxers will simply walk in the Parade of Champions, but others have indicated they are willing to go in the ring to slug it out one more time! That will bring out the superstars who have retired and some who are still in the game.”

I’m told that one date has been temporarily settled on for next fall and that several fighters have already committed to the event, but the organizers want to have the entire roster of boxing stars there for it without any exceptions!

Boxing’s biggest star-name promoters have all agreed in principle to the “Night of 100 Fight Legends” spectacular. All other details are totally under wraps, but, as you know, Luxe Life will have all the exclusive details first as this knockout of a story develops.
