Based in New York City, Uprising Promotions was founded in 2013 by former professional boxer Ronson Frank, who retired as an undefeated light heavyweight following a 17-fight career. Frank comes from a high-pedigree boxing family and has been surrounded by the sport since he was a young child. His brother, Raul, fought the late Vernon Forrest on two occasions for the IBF welterweight title, and his brother, Steven, challenged Bernard Hopkins for the IBF belt when Hopkins was amid his legendary middleweight championship run.
Presented by Uprising Promotions and McDonald Worley Law Firm, Fight Around and Find Out went down this past Saturday at Terminal 5 in New York City. And from the opening bell to the final round, the card lived up to its name. A packed house was treated to 11 bouts of compelling amateur boxing, all in support of NYPD Cops & Kids Boxing, a privately funded youth mentoring and boxing program that has been shaping young lives across New York City since 1985.
