World Boxing Hall of Fame 2008


We are honored to present to our viewers these exclusive photos of the World Boxing Hall of Fame Banquet.

We were fortunate enough to be invited to this spectacular ceremony that took place at the LAX Marriot in Los Angeles, California.
Many of the worlds leading boxing stars were handed boxing awards at the 29th Annual Banquet of Champions.
Influential boxing champions who once dominated the boxing vista were seeing intermingling with each other as well as signing autographs for unyielding boxing fans.

Well over 500 people attended the banquet, enjoying the magnificent view out onto the vibrant MCG playing field.

Distinctive guests at the ceremonial dinner were former super featherweight opponents and now secure associates, Jeff Fenech and Azumah Nelson.

44 year-old Fenech was making his initial appearance at the Hall of Fame since being inducted in 2003.

Chairman of Top Rank Inc and Professional boxing promoter Bob Arum who was unable to attend the event received the Everett L. Sanders Award for his exceptional contributions to the sport of boxing.

Awards were also presented to Fighter of the Year Antonio Margarito, Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy, Greg Haugen, Marvin Johnson, Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker, Lennox Lewis, Miguel Diaz, Akihiko Honda, Gilberto Mendoza, Alberto Reyes, Luis Rodriguez and Guido Bardelli.

This great event was presented by the World Boxing Hall Of Fame, a nonprofit association based in California committed to preserving and honoring boxing and its olden times.

The World Boxing Hall of Fame was founded Everett L. Sanders in 1980 and recently partnered with the well established Los Angeles Athletic Club in downtown Los Angeles, where it will lay down it's roots.
