RAIDING
THE ROCK VAULT will salute Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion Leon Spinks
and pack the house with living legends for “Night of the Champion” performance
in his honor. Sugar Ray Leonard, “Raging Bull” Jake LaMotta, John H. Stracey,
Michael Spinks, Earnie Shavers, Tony “The Tiger” Lopez, James “Quick” Tillis,
Danny Lopez, Joe Cortez, Zab Judah, and Richard Steele, are among the guests expected
to attend the one-night-only event, Saturday, August 17 at LVH – Las Vegas
Hotel & Casino.
Spinks
and other star attendees will participate in a 2 p.m. autograph session at LVH
Race & Sports Book before attending the 8 p.m. performance of RAIDING THE
ROCK VAULT. Proceeds from the special show will go to The Richard Steele
Foundation & Boxing Club and New Vista.
“Leon
Spinks is a living legend,” said John Payne, creator, director and producer of
RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT. “LVH is one of the locations where he made history and
we’re honored to celebrate him and support two local nonprofits that are
dedicated to wonderful causes.”
Spinks
brought home the gold medal at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal as a champion
in the light heavyweight division. The next year, he made his professional
boxing debut and worked his way up the ranks, becoming one of the leading
heavyweight challengers. In 1978, he defeated Muhammad Ali for the undisputed
heavyweight championship at LVH in what was considered one of the biggest
upsets in boxing history. RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT and LVH proudly welcome Spinks
for a night of rock ‘n’ roll mayhem at the very location of his historic fight
against Ali.
