CHICAGO, November 30, 2008 -- Ring announcer Thomas Treiber has returned home to recharge following his most recent trip to Northern California where he hosted an outstanding evening of world class professional boxing at the Table Mountain Casino on November 18th.
In December, Treiber will ring announce two hometown shows, Friday, December 12th at Cicero Stadium and Saturday, December 13th at the Arcada Theater in St. Charles, before jetting to Las Vegas on December 30th for an event at Planet Hollywood.
Working with long time California promoter, Roy Englebrecht, for the first time, Treiber handled ring announcing duties for the five bout card which featured two world title bouts in Friant, California, just outside of Fresno.
In the main event Martin Honorio stopped Frankie Archuleta in the fifth round to claim the IBA Super Featherweight title, while the co-main event saw Ava Knight upset hometown favorite Kaliesha West in a thrilling eight rounder for the IFBA North American Bantamweight title.
Said Treiber, “All five bouts were outstanding, but the women’s bout had the fans at the casino on their feet throughout cheering on the local girl, West. It was terrific to work with Roy and his team and I’m looking forward to going back to California in the New Year.”
Late in November, Treiber was featured on the boxing website, Cyberboxingzone.com in a story written by Juan Ayllon which can be read at this link:

On December 12th, Treiber will ring announce the 8 Count Productions professional boxing event in front of their typically raucous crowd at Cicero Stadium. The next evening he will handle ring announcing duties for a mixed martial arts card presented by Fight Card Entertainment at the Arcada Theater in St. Charles.
“8 Count shows at Cicero are always fun, especially the December holiday shows. Fight Card Entertainment has been around for the past couple of years and they always put on terrific mixed martial arts events.
Having lived and worked in Las Vegas for a few years in the 90’s, it’s always a great experience going back there to ring announce an event. The TKO Boxing Promotions boxing card at Planet Hollywood should be an outstanding event to work” said Treiber.
Thomas Treiber has been amongst the most visible and versatile announcers in boxing, mixed martial arts and professional wrestling for the last seventeen years. His credits include work on HBO, Showtime, CBS Sports, ESPN, Fox Sports Net, Spike TV and Pay Per View events.
