For anyone under the age of 35 years old, they are unaware that for decades Atlantic City was the Fight Capital of the East Coast. The dawn of the Casino Era in Atlantic City paved the way for Prize Fighting to come to town, with some of the biggest names in boxing coming to fight in South Jersey:

*Mike Tyson
*Floyd Mayweather Jr.
*Arturo Gatti
*Bernard Hopkins
*George Foreman
*Roy Jones Jr.
*Evander Holyfield
