Last weekend in Las Vegas, NV, the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame held its 7th Annual Induction Gala at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa. Ever since its inception in 2013, the NVBHOF has played host to some of the biggest names in the sport and this year was no exception.

This year’s induction class included Bernard Hopkins, Juan Manuel Marquez, Joel Casamayor, Leroy Haley, Wayne McCullough, Hasim Rahman, “School Boy” Bobby Chacon, Humberto “Chiquita” Gonzales, “Terrible” Terry Norris and Ronald “Winky” Wright. Non-Boxer Participants included Duane Ford, Dan Goossen, Dr. Flip Homansky, Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Marc Risman.

NVBHOF CEO and President Michelle Corrales-Lewis shared her thoughts.

“It was an honor to once again present some of boxing most recognized icons in the sport with their inductions into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame,” said Corrales. “Everyone who was inducted was well deserving and their legacy’s will live on forever. I want to thank all the inductees and their families for their participation as well as my staff for all their hard work. It takes a lot of effort to put on a mega event like this and I just want to say I’m grateful.”
