 "Back
in the good old days, there were boxing events seven days a week featuring
neighborhood, ethnic and borough rivalries. Each adversary brought his
rabid fans, flags and tough gym work to the arena - all to form the most
electric evening in local sports. That's what I want to recreate for
New York." Joe DeGuardia
No
company can be successful without strong
management, good business experience and savvy judgment. Star Boxing founder,
Joe DeGuardia, is no stranger to the ring, in or out. As the son of
a professional prizefighter, he first donned the gloves at the ripe age of
two. DeGuardia went on to successfully fight for and win a 1988 New York Golden Gloves Championship.
Ten
years ago, when the torch was passed from father to the son, Joe took
over the Morris Park Boxing Club. He grew up there and has made it
one of the busiest boxing gyms in New York. Today, he exclusively promotes
numerous boxers and boxing events, and has co-promoted with all the other major
promoters. Under Joe's guidance, Star has brought back the atmosphere of
the famed "Golden Age" of boxing in New York.
An accomplished attorney and past Bronx Assistant District
Attorney, he is no stranger to success or challenge. In or out of the
ring, prosecuting or defending cases, Joe DeGuardia drives the vision and
direction that is Star Boxing.
Star Boxing has been in operation since 1992.
Currently, Star
is the only regularly televised metropolitan New York sports organization
doing their own staging and televising. In the Northeast region. Star
promote and televise more first-class boxing shows in metro New York than all
other area promoters combined.
Star's Metro Series is the most consistently
televised boxing series in the Northeast, offering two hard-hitting hours
of grueling battle and punishment, delivered by a range of fighters
consisting of wily featherweights, all the way to
thundering heavyweights. Star Boxing's exciting venues range from Yonkers Raceway to Connecticut's Foxwood's Casino to
Manhattan’s famous Roseland Ballroom.
Star's monthly Yonkers Raceway events have
become major events on local sports calendars and are
being televised, currently, in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Florida. It
is Star Boxing's policy to give young fighters the opportunity to advance toward their ultimate
goals. If the history of New York boxing
holds true, there's no doubt that those who come to see them will be able
to say they "saw them when."
