For Immediate Release:  November 5, 2024

Atlantic City Police Athletic League (PAL), Boxing Insider Promotions, and Tropicana Atlantic City present USA Boxing Midlantic sanctioned “Battle at the Shore” at Tropicana Showroom Sunday, November 17.

One of the greatest things the sport of boxing can do in the way of “giving back” is to become a vehicle for youth to learn skills and develop into more productive people.

The PAL will be conducting its own show - and a significant one - on Sunday, November 17, as some of the best amateur boxers in New Jersey and beyond converge upon the showroom located in Tropicana Atlantic City on the boardwalk (1 PM starting time).

This show is run by AC PAL and sponsored in part by Boxing Insider Promotions in cooperation with the Attorney General’s Youth Outreach Program for New Jersey amateur boxing. Last year the AG’s office, along with the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board, announced a grant that went largely to the PAL which Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin hailed as a program that “provides opportunities for our state’s youth to learn lifelong skills to aid their physical and mental well-being.”

Use of the venue and the championship belts were donated by Boxing Insider Promotions and 100% of the proceeds raised will go to the Atlantic City PAL.

Tickets for the “Battle at the Shore” are priced at $40 and available through the PAL (609-347-5478) as well as at the door of the Tropicana Atlantic City showroom.

Boxing Insider also made a special offer to the first 100 ticket buyers. They were able to purchase a ticket to the Battle at the Shore and also receive a complimentary ticket to the professional event taking place the night before (November 16) at the same venue. That card is locally produced and internationally streamed on DAZN and features 3 Atlantic City fighters including: Francisco “Sisco Kid” Rodriguez, who came through the Atlantic City PAL program, unbeaten junior middleweight Justin Figueroa, and undefeated heavyweight Bruce Seldon Jr.

“This is my home. 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. We hope this is the first of many shows we can do together to help build more positive community relations,” says Larry Goldberg, CEO of Boxing Insider, an AC native.

Donations, above and beyond ticket sales, are always welcome, as funds are essential to continue running a program that serves the youth of the area.

The Atlantic City Police Athletic League is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation (ID # 222-507-381-000).

The Executive Director of the program is Lieutenant Will Santiago, who can be contacted at 609-233-5335. More information is available from Coach Arnold Robbins at 609-892-1990.
