Boston Boxing Promotions

The "Godfather of Sports Talk Radio" Eddie Andelman has passed away at the age 89. Not only was he a pioneer in New England media, but his innovations off the airwaves were just as significant including in the realm of combat sports. In 1991, he helped organize a professional boxing fight card at Boston University that featured standouts like Drake Thazdi, Sean Fitzgerald, Ray Oliveiira, Paul Poirier, and Peter McNeeley amongst others - many in New England title fights.

In the world of pro wrestling, he also created the concept of the "King of the Ring" tournament which would become an annual pay-per-view event in time.

Rest in Peace to a New England legend.
