The Gary lightweight sensation has been grabbing the attention of fight promoters and pro sports organizers nationwide.  Along with throwing out the first pitch at a recent Gary South Shore RailCats game, White has been offered televised bouts, Including one on the under card of a recent Mike Tyson fight. "I enjoy all the attention for doing my job, but, a lot of times, we forget the people who put their lives on the line for us and our country," White said.  "Bringing out all of the fans, guaranteeing a victory and putting on a great show for them is my way of saying thank you to all of those men and women."

White will be the Special Attraction in his first six round bout, with Hammond Lightweight Johnny Novak fighting for the IN.B.A. title in the main event.

Other fighters on the Sept. 17th card include Middleweight prospect Michael Walker of Chicago, Hammond Light Heavyweight Guy Solis, Chicago Cruiserweight Greg Jones and Grand Rapids, Michigan Welterweight Purnell Gates vs. Joseph Pujoe of Gary.
