Night Of Champs

On June 28th the greatest New Mexican fighters of all time will be honored by being inducted into the New Mexico Boxing Hall of Fame. The ceremony, “A Night of Champions”, is being put together by the Las Cruces Police Athletic League and the New Mexico Hall of Fame and will take place at the Las Cruces Convention Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The new inductees will include former and current world champions: Bob Foster, Danny Romero, Johnny Tapia, Holly Holm and Austin Trout.

Johnny Tapia’s wife Teresa Tapia will be representing her late husband at the event. Every other fighter with the exception of Foster have committed to attending the induction ceremony.

The event will begin at 6 PM with a VIP Cocktail hour, when attendees will have the opportunity to meet the inductees. The New Mexico Hall of Fame ceremony will begin at 7 PM, with dinner being served to all attendees.

Credentials for each inductee:

  • Bob Foster was the first New Mexican to win a world championship by defeating Dick Tiger in 1968.
  • Danny Romero was a three time world champion.
  • The late Tapia was a five-time world champion.
  • Current fighters Holm and Trout are widely considered among the best in their respective divisions;
  • Holm is also arguably one of the top 5 greatest females fighters of all time. She becomes the first female boxer and the second female overall (judge Sandy Pino-2011 inductee) to be inducted.
  • Trout is undefeated and is the current title holder of the WBA Light Middleweight championship. He will be looking to become the third New Mexican male to unify world championships this Saturday when he takes on WBC champion Saul Canelo Alvarez.
