I am continuing my two and a half year push to create legislation in Albany that will allow “White Collar Boxing” in New York State.

To date the bill S7871 has been approved in the NY Senate and its counterpart bill A12058 is stuck in The Tourism, Arts and Sports Development Committee in the NY Assembly chaired by the Honorable Steve Englebright.

I am working on a meeting with Governor Paterson. He is a big boxing fan and I know that I can explain the concept of White Collar Boxing to him. This is a safe way for regular people to participate in the sport of boxing. It gives them a way to take advantage of the many physical and mental attributes of boxing training.

Political insiders have told me that I must get positive press on White Collar Boxing to create a “buzz.”

If you are in a position to do a positive article on White Collar Boxing, please call me at (718) 797-2872 or email me at bruce@gleasonsgym.net.
