Ring 8 Pictures & Notes of Tuesday, March 15, 2022 at O’Neill’s Restaurant

Ring 8 had their second meeting of 2022, last night at O’Neill’s Restaurant. So far, we had 3 of the best guest speakers we could ask for.
.
Last month we had Jules Feiler, the 2-time Emmy Award winning television producer who was responsible for Holmes participating in the aforementioned Ring 8 Holiday Event and Awards Ceremony. Feiler is the CEO and Founder of The Pitching Staff Public Relations in New York City, which has also managed public relations in the boxing industry for many fighters. Jules talked on his career as a sports agent that had everyone laughing!

This month we had Melvina Lathan, former boxing judge and the Boxing Commissioner for New York, PLUS we had David Diamante, the famed Ring Announcer who is still recovering from a horrible motorcycle accident.

Melvina talked about her career, how she met her husband, Dr. William Lathan, her mother, father and sisters and brothers. Being that it was Women’s Month, she also talked on several women that she has looked up to over the years.

Dave, also talked about his career and how he got started in the amateurs back at Gleason’s Gym, along with some of the fights he announced all over the World and in a very emotional speech, what he went through and had to overcome just to walk again!
