BOXER VS WRESTLER ANNOUNCEMENT

The New York State Wrestling Federation is proud to have signed a “Boxer Versus Wrestler Match” pitting pro wrestler “Sweet ‘n’ Sour” Larry Sweeney vs. former world boxing contender Larry Barnes (44-3-0, 17 knockouts) for their April 5^th pro-wrestling event at New Rochelle High School in New Rochelle, N.Y. 

For both men named Larry, November 18^th is a date that still haunts both men to this day.  Barnes’ last major fight was in a fourth round loss to Felix Trinidad on November 18, 1995.  Ironically, that  same day in 2007 was a just as unpleasant for Sweeney, who lost his prestigious I.C.W/I.C.W.A Texarkana Television Championship to Bryan “Chico” Alvarez of www.F4WOnline.com.

Further details on this historic match will be announced in the coming weeks.

This event also features 21-time former World Tag Team Champions and current TNA Wrestling Superstars, Team 3D in the main event. Team 3D is comprised of Brother Ray & D-Von and previously competed as The Dudley Boyz for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

This pro wrestling event serves as a homecoming for D-Von, who graduated from New Rochelle High School and was a varsity football standout for the Huguenots.

The event will feature other action-packed matches with a 7:30 p.m. bell-time. The doors open at 6:00 p.m. to give fans, friends and families the opportunity to obtain autographed memorabilia.
