Donald Trump and Micky Ward are among the men who’ll be inducted into the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame later this year.

NJBHOF president Henry Hascup announced the 14-man Class of 2015 after the organization’s monthly meeting Thursday night. In addition to Trump, the polarizing ex-casino mogul who brought numerous huge fights to Atlantic City in the 1980s and 1990s, and Ward, who boxed late legend Arturo Gatti twice in Atlantic City as part of their thrilling trilogy, the group includes former 130-pound contender John Brown, former amateur champion and Dominican Republic boxing official Valentin Contreras, judge George Hill, trainer Bill Johnson, promoter Andre Kut, former middleweight contender Curtis Parker, IBF president Daryl Peoples, HBO Sports executive Mark Taffet and longtime Atlantic City Press boxing writer Dave Weinberg.

Trainer Bouie Fisher, who worked with Bernard Hopkins and Ivan Robinson, light heavyweight Kevin Smith and trainer Harry Wiley, who worked with Sugar Ray Robinson for most of Robinson’s career, will be inducted posthumously.

The Class of 2015 will be inducted during the NJBHOF’s 46th annual dinner and induction ceremonies Nov. 12 at The Venetian in Garfield, N.J. Tickets for the 7 p.m. event cost $85 and can be purchased by contacting Hascup at hhascup@yahoo.com .
