There Celebrity Boxing was made, 20 years ago, 2 local celebs but it got more press then any real Boxing matches at the time.

I thank God everyday and I’m being Blessed with these opportunities meeting great partners like BitCoin Rodney Burton and a great team. When asked what his dream is, Feldman said to make sure my children know I tried hard for them and I inspired them to go in the right direction.
Feldman said, it’s all for them , I used to want to be Rich and Famous, but that doesn’t excite me anymore, what excites me is what I built is a platform where the underdog gets their chance at redemption and makes something out of themself.
