MERRILLVILLE, IND.- ONE IN A MILLION INC. fighters appearing in the much anticipated "Fight For Freedom" card will turn up the heat at Langel's Pizzeria, 2833 Highway Ave., Highland, Indiana during the official weigh-ins Sept. 16th at 6:30 p.m. Langel's is hosting the special event after joining a growing list of businesses eager to support pro boxing's resurrection in Northwest Indiana.
"We're excited to be part of this show, and so are our customers," said Rodney Langel, owner of the Highland restaurant and another site in Schererville. "We are looking to forge a long term relationship with ONE IN A MILLION INC to bring great live pro boxing back to Northwest Indiana."
Other businesses that have supported ONE IN A MILLION events including some of the best sponsors that do businesses in the region, said Octavius James, CEO of ONE IN A MILLION INC.
"Langel's has been an important part of the Northwest Indiana business scene for a while, and that's the company of companies we want in our corner," James said. "We're building that same high quality reputation for ONE IN A MILLION, our fighters and our fans."
The Sept. 17th "Fight For Freedom" card will be dedicated to veterans and current Men and Women in the U.S. armed forces. Special memorials to area soldiers lost in Afghanistan and Iraq are also in the works, said James.
Hammond Lightweight Johnny Novak, who joined the ONE IN A MILLION team last month, will fight for the IN.B.A. title in the main event, and Gary's own undefeated Light Welterweight sensation Jermaine White will fight in a six-round special attraction.
