Unfortunately, 2020 Fundraiser has to be Postponed. This was going to be Ring 10’s 10th Year Annual Fundraiser. A milestone because of all the Nay Sayers that said “1 year, maybe 2 years at tops”, Ring 10 is STRONGER than ever. 

Let’s hope that Ring 10 will have an amazing 2021.

NOMINATIONS HAVE BEEN COMING IN FOR 2021

1)   Johnny “the Jig Saw” Baxtor.  He was a master with his left hook until he accidentally lost his left arm in a table saw incident.  He continues to fight but can’t figure out how to get his new left hand prosthesis to block a jab.

2)   Tommy “Turbo” Chillwaski – great fighter but liked to train in  A large refrigerator. Accidentally locked himself in and became an ice cube. Hoping he defrosts in time to at least be brought to the event.

3)   Kid “demolition” Peterson (I had to nominate him because he keeps asking me if I know what it is like to sit on a live stack of firecrackers)

4)   Sammy “The Bull-Ett” Castanza  – (Undefeated because he says so)   he wins whatever he wants and NO questions asked. Don’t even think about questioning this award.

5)   Ken “Chokehold” Izznaaassrski- (0 wins, 28 losses) he was a great fighter but could not stop choking his opponents.  We understand it is tough to transition from wrestling to boxing but “all in all” a great guy.

6)   Lou “the Pandemic” Pallbearer (6 Wins, 21 Losses, 14 Disqualifications) – he has to win something even if we just make one up for him

‘Boxing totally turned its back’ on battered Gerald McClellan

A Note From Lisa McClellan

Here is a note that Lisa McClellan sent us that embodies the mission of Ring 10:

Lisa is the sister and primary caretaker of former Middleweight Champion of the World Gerald McClellan.

“One of the most compassionate, caring men I have ever met. You have shown us that Ring 10 is everything you guys set out to be. Your caring for less fortunate fighters is something many in the boxing world has forgotten about. You guys do it and never boast about what you do. Matt you and your Organization are the real Champions. I can’t thank you enough for everything that you do. Anyone who’s had the Privilege of being helped by you guys are blessed. Our lives are so much better because of you guys. I will never be able to thank you guys enough for all you do. God Bless you Ring 10.”

Ring 10, a New York-based nonprofit established in 2011 to assist boxers in need, has been the McClellans’ lifeline. Matt Farrago, now a medical supplies salesman who had 28 pro fights as a super-welterweight in the ’80s, is the founder, chief fundraiser and tireless spokesman for the charity.

He won’t discuss specific contributions, but Ring 10 maintains an account at the grocery store where Lisa buys the family’s food, and there was help with an electric bill when she fell behind several months ago.

“I’ve never experienced anything like Ring 10,” Lisa says. “Some organizations will help you out one time and then we’re moving on to the next person. But Ring 10 is a consistent thing — ‘We’re family and we’re here for you.’ They provide us with help every month.”

It’s Lisa’s selflessness that keeps Ring 10 coming back to Gerald, Farrago says.

“Boxing totally turned its back on Gerald, walked away from him, but Lisa is so devoted to him,” he said. “It’s more of a human interest story than a boxing story.”
