WOODSTOCK - Some of the best boxers in Ontario's history will be honoured in the Friendly City.
The Ontario Boxing Hall of Fame will be hosting their 2018 induction ceremony at Goff Hall on May 5th.
Here's a list of this year's inductees;
Sammy Luftspring
Frankie Genovese
Arthur King
Johnny Coulon
Eddie Melo
Travis Sugden
Billy Irwin
Gary Summerhays
Johnny Kalbhenn
Willie Featherstone
Matthew Hilton
President Dameon Okpsoio says it will be a full day event.
"People can come at 1pm or they can come a 5pm, they can come whenever they want. It ends at 9pm and their food and drinks will be covered during the induction ceremony."
Those who come earlier in the day will be able to meet the inductees and check out a Boxing Trade Show.
The ceremony sold out over the past two years when it was held in Mississauga. Dave Hutchinson explains why they decided to move it to Woodstock.
"Woodstock is in a great location; a half hour from Kitchener, a half hour from London and a half hour from Brantford. Some great boxers from those towns have been and will be inducted into the hall of fame like Gary Summerhays, Lennox Lewis and Fitz Vanderpool."
Tickets for the event are $50 each and you can call 647-224-2199 to purchase them.
