Boxing: "Brooklyn Explosion"

January 19, 2011

Maureen Shea’s company, Pandora Promotions, is co-promoting its first card with Global gym owner Mark Kolodziej’s Global Boxing Promotions this Thursday Wednesday, January 19th, when Alicia Ashley, 15-9-1 (1), takes on Crystal Hoy, 5-3-3 (2), at the Masonic Temple in Brooklyn, New York.

For Shea, this card, , is a logical step in her career. It’s also something of a gift to herself.

Maureen “Moe” Shea, 15-2 (9) aka “The Real Million Dollar Baby,” is known to some boxing fans for preparing Oscar winner Hilary Swank for her role in “Million Dollar Baby.” The Bronx-born Shea came to the sport late and made a name for herself in the ring as a tenacious fighter who has never taken no for an answer. Sometime ringside commentator, writer, full-time titleholder and president of Global Boxing Gym in North Bergen, NJ, Shea is now adding yet another accomplishment to her list: the first active female boxer who is a promoter.

The Masonic Temple is located at 317 Clermont Avenue in Brooklyn, NY.

Tickets for "Brooklyn Explosion", priced $75 and $50, can be purchased by contacting Amanda at Global Boxing Gym in North Bergen, NJ at 201-348-3149. Doors open at 6:30 PM. First bout starts at 7:30.
