RDR Promotions and Art of War held their first joint boxing event, Rumble Ready 1, at the Valley Forge Casino. The night featured a mix of local fighters, debuts, veterans, and exciting non-stop action from start to finish.

JERSEY STRONG AND
PHILLY TOUGH
The Legacy of "Irish" Teddy Mann
 
by Matthew H. Ward

The term “Jersey Strong” has come to symbolize the resilience, toughness, and rugged pride of those living in New Jersey’s coastal communities. Popularized after Superstorm Sandy in 2012, the phrase aptly describes Shore natives shaped by both the beauty and brutality of nature.

One such native was Theodore Mannschreck, known in the boxing world as “Irish” Teddy Mann. Born on September 5, 1951, in Point Pleasant, Mann grew up in nearby Forked River. A talented athlete, he excelled in cross country and track at Central Regional High School, but it was boxing where he truly made his mark. As an amateur, Mann faced stiff competition, including Philadelphia’s Curtis Parker, and trained under respected New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame...

WILKINS
HALTS DILL

Strict Biz Promotions staged a truncated professional boxing show on Saturday night (May 31) at Harrah's Philadelphia in Chester, PA. After several bouts fell out at the last minute, only two official fights came off on fight night. However, the promoters, Rasad Brown and Greg Pritchett, added three exhibition bouts featuring some of the boxers who were left at the altar.

In the main event, welterweight Adonis Wilkins, Newark, DE, scored a quick TKO over Anthony Dill of New Philadelphia, PA. Wilkins dropped Dill once before trapping him in the red corner with shots that promted referee Eric Dali to halt the contest after 2:56 of the scheduled six-rounder. The win extended Wilkins' undefeated streak to 6-0 with 5 KOs. Dill lost for the second.... (MORE)

    



 
                 
       

HELP US PURCHASE A GRAVESTONE FOR
GIL TURNER

His name was Gil Turner. He was one of the most exciting boxers to ever come out of Philadelphia. Turner won his first 31 professional fights (25 by KO) before suffering his first defeat in a spectacular 1952 welterweight championship fight against world champion Kid Gavilan. Turner gave Gavilan all he could handle before the Cuban marvel ended the fight in round eleven. Turner fought 46 more pro fights, many on national television, and his exiting career (56-19-2, 35 KOs) earned Turner a reputation as a fan favorite and one of Philly's greatest legends....

RIVERA NOW 7-0
Story & Photos
by Darryl Cobb Jr.

The seven-bout card staged by promoter Kali Reis and KOhen Promotions was more than just a night of action in the ring—it was a celebration of boxing families. Four father-son duos took center stage: Juan Rivera with his father Johnny (in the main event), Kadeem Hunter Munson with Eric Hunter (in the co-feature), Cornelio Phipps with Dewayne Phipps (in one preliminary bout), and Greg Hackett with his son Mekhi (in the evening's opener). The theme of generational mentorship added emotional depth to an already spirited night of fights.

In the main event.... (MORE)
