Jewish boxing champion Yuri Foreman wants to defend his championship at Yankee Stadium, but his first opponent (before facing former welterweight titleholder Miguel Cotto) might have to be a Bar Mitzvah boy who wants to hold his celebration at the same place on the same day.
Fight promoter Bob Arum told the Associated Press that "they’ve [Yankee Stadium] leased out some lounges for this Bar Mitzvah and part of the deal was for a half hour or so, they could use the big screen in center field to show pictures and all that sort of stuff".
It would be a shame if Yankee Stadium didn’t work out, but thankfully, Arum has a backup plan, but it’s some lame hockey rink place named Madison Square Garden.
