On Tuesday night in Beverly Hills, Calif., a fundraising event was held for USA Boxing, the national governing body for U.S. amateur boxing. The event raised funds for the Olympic training of U.S. amateur boxing athletes as they prepare for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.

Boxing greats Evander Holyfield and Laila Ali attended, as well as ring announcer legend Michael Buffer and longtime boxing commentator Larry Merchant. Highlights included Evander Holyfield sharing his insights and advice with the young Olympic boxing hopefuls, and Laila Ali expressing her excitement for the first year women's boxing will be included in the Olympic Games.
