Saturday, November 16, 2024 | The Showroom at Tropicana Atlantic City, Atlantic City, NJ
Broadcast: DAZN (live worldwide)
Promoter: Larry Goldberg, Boxing Insider Promotions
Boxing Insider Promotions’ biggest Atlantic City card yet — nine fights on DAZN, headlined by WBA #14-ranked bantamweight Dominique Crowder defending his WBA International title. The evening honored legendary promoter Don Elbaum, who staged 196 shows at the Tropicana during his five-year run in the 1980s. The following day, Boxing Insider donated the venue to Atlantic City PAL for an amateur boxing fundraiser. “We can’t compete with Saudi money or the New York Yankees,” Larry Goldberg said, “but we can become like Triple AAA baseball for boxing.”
