Fighters Andy Lee, Peter Quillin, Marcus Browne and Heather Hardy, who are fighting on Saturday night on the Premier Boxing Champions on NBC show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, participated in the ringing of the NYSE Closing Bell® on Monday evening.
You can see some photos of the ceremony, along with a video replay, here.
Fighters were joined by Barclays Center CEO Brett Yormark, DiBella Entertainment President Lou DiBella, Swanson Communications President Kelly Swanson, Barclays Center Chief Communications Officer Barry Baum, and Haymon Boxing Vice President of Communications Tim Smith for the ceremony.
Ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange is always a pretty big deal, so it’s cool to see boxers get a chance to do it from time to time. Stay tuned over the coming days for all of the fight week updates for this week’s Andy Lee vs. Peter Quillin and Danny Garcia vs. Lamont Peterson fights.
