“I would like to thank everyone for this award”, said promoter Joey “Eye” Intrieri. “I want to thank my partner David Feldman, matchmaker Nick Tiberi, PR man Marc Abrams as well Victor and Tony”.

“We have some great plans for 2012 and February looks to be a huge month as Victor is fighting Dorin Spivey on February 4th in Atlantic City. When Victor wins that fight, he will be ranked by the WBA and will be this close to fighting for world title”.

“On February 24th, we are back at Harrahs where Tony will be fighting in his biggest fight when he takes on former world title challenger Omar Sheika. When these guys win these fights, it puts us in position for some major things”.
