I got this in my radio prep this morning.
-A celebrity boxing promoter has been charged with fixing fights and not having a license when he staged a bout between Danny Bonaduce and a comedian from Howard Stern’s show. Damon Feldman, who operates the Celebrity Boxing Federation, was charged in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with six counts of staging competitions without holding a promoter’s license from the State Athletic Commission and six counts of rigging fights during a 16-month period that ended in December, state Attorney General Tom Corbett said. Feldman didn’t dispute the allegations but claims he’s the victim of a state boxing law that’s tailored for professional boxing – something he says his events definitely aren’t. He admitted results of some bouts were predetermined but said they’re akin to pro wrestling, not professional boxing.
