Check out this story in the Glendale News Press about a long standing law that prohibits professional boxing and MMA fights in Glendale. After many months of hard work by former NABO champion Kahren Harutyunyan, currently the president of Art of Boxing Promotions, who is also a Glendale resident, the city council is willing to revisit the ban and vote on overturning the law and start hosting professional fights in Glendale. http://www.glendalenewspress.com/articles/2008/07/04/news/gnp-auditorium04.txt Please write to gnp@latimes.com and urge Glendale to lift the ban on boxing. You will need to provide your hometown and a phone number for verification purposes only. For any additional information you can email Kahren Harutyunyan at Kahren@artofboxingpromotions.com or call him at 818 521 2373 This would be great help to all the fighters that have come out of Glendale, including U.S. Olympian and undefeated professional, Vanes Martirosyan, former NABO Champion Kahren Harutyunyan, former NABO Champion and WBO world title challenger William Abelyan, former USBA Champion and IBF world title challenger Art Simonyan and all the prospects that live and train in Glendale but don't have the opportunity to compete in front of their home town fans.
