I’m excited to see what the future holds for Micky with Star Boxing,” said DeGuardia, Star Boxing’s President and CEO.
“As a kid, I’ve always told my family a boxing fight will bring us back to New York and signing with Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing will allow that plan to come to fruition,” said Scala.
