Hitz had this to say on his return to where it all began. "This is a homecoming for me in many ways, as a youth I was always interested in boxing and I was pretty handy with my dukes on the playground. The mayor of Glendale Heights had started a program called "The Glendale Heights Boxing Club" which was conveniently located behind my boyhood home in the basement of The Glendale Heights Police Department which was coincidently strategically placed behind my home as well. Through that program I acquired my foundation in boxing and I became the first golden gloves champion to come out of that program. It will be great to see many of my childhood friends and the many supporters I had as a fighter. Shark City is the perfect venue to see prizefighting up close and personal. Most importantly this night will be dedicated to a dear friend of mine who has been stricken with Cancer and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to him and his family."
Â
The night continues with a live appearance by AC/DC tribute band Dirty Deeds. The hottest AC/DC tribute band around, Dirty Deeds Indeed, was established in the summer of 1995 in Jyväskylä, Finland. Because Dirty Deeds Indeed is a tribute to late AC/DC front man Bon Scott, all the material they play is from Scott-era albums: mix that with a little prizefighting and you have got yourself a night that is guaranteed not to disappoint.
