The deal is done!  On Friday, December 15, Final Forum Boxing Promotions will put on the very first professional boxing event at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY.  It will be held in the Mariner's gymnasium which hold up to 3,000 people.  Sal Musumeci, President and CEO of Final Forum, has agreed to donate 500 tickets to the midshipmen of the academy in this historical event.
 
"These are kids that work very hard and sacrifice themselves for the good of everyone around them," said Musumeci.  "They definitely do not have it easy, having to wake up early everyday and be as disciplined as they are at such a young age is admirable to me.  These kids go through 4 years of advanced schooling in a 3 year time span, and spend an entire year away from their families out at sea.  To be able to be able to give a little back to them truly means the world to me and hopefully this event will be the start of many more between Final Forum and the USMMA."
 
On the card will be the New York State Heavyweight Champion, Medford, Long Island's Derric Rossy (14-0, 8 KO), fresh off of the biggest win of his career against Shannon Miller (opponent TBD).  Also will be Heavyweight contenders Vinny Maddalone (opponent TBD) and Zuri Lawrence(opponent TBD), undefeated female sensation Chika Nakamura, and local favorites Bobby Campbell, Ray Gonzalez, "Russian Twin" Khabir Suleymanov, and pro debut Shawn Boyle.
