Athletes and Celebrities Come Out to Support Professional Fighters Suffering Financially
The Californer/10288023

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Stepping inside a boxing ring requires immense courage and dedication, but for many fighters, their financial future is uncertain once their careers end. Recognizing this pressing need, former professional fighters Alan Santana and Iceman John Scully have organized a special fundraiser event to benefit fighters in need. The event will raise funds to assist with medical expenses, daily living costs, food, and clothing.

Many professional fighters earn approximately $15,000 over their entire careers, often without medical insurance or savings. They struggle day-to-day, sometimes dealing with mental health issues unknown to fans, managers, or promoters.

Currently a boxing analyst and trainer, John often auctions boxing memorabilia to support fighters in need, including former world champion Wilfredo Benitez.
