(SEPT 12) Star Boxing's Joe
DeGuardia is back at the office and plans to get busy working on
a long list of events and fights involving his deep roster of
world ranked contenders and highly regarded prospects.
DeGuardia suffered serious injuries in a horrific auto accident
on the way home from his sold out 'ROCKIN FIGHTS 4' boxing event
on Saturday, July 28th, at The Paramount in Huntington, New
York.
DeGuardia's new Mercedes Benz was
hit head-on by a car that was driving the wrong way on the Long
Island Expressway. The driver of the other vehicle was killed
upon impact. The accident was front page news for days, and
DeGuardia survival and speedy recovery has been called
miraculous.
"I'm still a little banged up and bruised but it feels terrific
to be back at the office. Naturally, I'm on a bit of a modified
schedule, but we will be working hard to pick up where we left
off. We've had a very busy year and the rest of 2012 looks like
more of the same" said DeGuardia. "We'll have plenty to announce
in the coming days."
Along with his role as the founder and CEO of Star Boxing,
DeGuardia also serves as President of the Boxing Promoters
Association, "Over the last month the support I've received from
those in the boxing community has been overwhelming. The sport
of boxing is in great shape with terrific fights and new
broadcast partners coming aboard over the last few months. I
can't wait to get back to work"
