Hall of Fame boxing announcer Al Bernstein will again serve as official host for the next Crown Boxing Friday Night Fights, March 12 at the Orleans Hotel and Casino.

Al will be on hand to interact with fans, sign autographs and make himself available for photo opportunities. The six bout card features Las Vegas battler Brian Battease against Alex Martinez in a lightweight match, but Al points out that the value of Crown boxing goes well beyond the main event. "I have traveled all around the world announcing and appearing at boxing matches for the last 30 years, and I can tell you that no one makes more competitive and fun matches than Crown's matchmaker Frank Luca," Al said.  "These cards are perfect for the newcomer to live boxing, as well as the aficionados. The ticket prices are affordable, the fights are exciting, and it all takes place in a pleasant and intimate atmosphere," he added. For ticket information call 702-365-7075, or visit the Orleans box office.

Bernstein, who is celebrating his 30th year as a network broadcaster, will next be seen on Showtime Championship Boxing on Saturday, March 27th announcing the Super Six World Boxing Classic Tournament match between Arthur Abraham and Andre Dirrell. He will be joined at ringside by Gus Johnson and Antonio Tarver, with Jim Gray handling the interviews. For more information on this telecast log on to www.sports.sho.com
