In addition Rock & Sock is pleased to announce a fund raising and awareness effort to help fight breast cancer along with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Everlast. On the night of November 4th, all women fighters will don pink gloves to help promote breast cancer awareness. In addition, other avenues will be used leading up to the event and in the PPV broadcast to help raise funds to assist in helping cure breast cancer. “It’s great to be able to promote an incredible group of matches and help out BCR at the same time,” said Rock & Sock’s Arnie “Tokyo” Rosenthal. Ken Weiss, also of Rock & Sock said, “We hope the entire women’s boxing fan base gets behind the BCR effort and helps out while enjoying a great night of boxing.” “We’d like to thank Everlast for their “Pink Glove” campaign and we’re positive it will stimulate awareness and help raise funds for breast cancer research”, added Rock & Sock partner Stuart Breslow. More information on how to donate to BCR and pre fight coverage will be coming in the following weeks. Please direct all inquiries to Amy Green at
