Golden Gloves Boxing Postponed

The 85^th annual New York Golden Gloves boxing tournament, which has attracted near-capacity crowds to Hillburn for three years, has responded to the threat of inclement weather, and rescheduled its card at the Joseph T. St. Lawrence Community, Health & Sports Center to Saturday, Jan. 28.

The card was originally set for Saturday, Jan. 21 to close the opening week of preliminary bouts. There are six weeks of prelims scheduled before the competition turns even tougher with the start of the quarterfinals on Feb. 28.

The re-scheduled show on Jan. 28 in Hillburn is set to begin at 3 p.m., with doors to open at 2:15 p.m., according to Phil Tisi, supervisor of the Town of Ramapo.

Tickets are scaled at $20 for adults, $10 for children 14 and under, and $10 for senior citizens (60-plus, cash only). All tickets are sold at the door.

Other preliminary shows in the area are scheduled Friday, Feb. 3 at Mount Vernon High School, 100 California Rd.; and at the Yonkers PAL at 127 North Broadway on Wednesday, Feb. 22. The first punches at both shows are set to be thrown at 8 p.m.
