Malta Boxing Commission Appoint Al Low, Former Chairman of the Michigan State Commission as New Chairman

Malta Boxing Commission Managing Director and Vice President Gianluca Di Caro today announced that Al Low, the former Chairman of the Michigan State Boxing Commission, has been appointed as the new Chairman of both the Malta Boxing Commission and the recently introduced MBC International Championship.

Mr Low, who has been involved in professional boxing for over thirty eight years, worked alongside legendary coach, the late, great, Emanuel Steward for many years, during which time Mr Low promoted the largest fight in Detroit’s history with Thomas Hearns as the main event as well as managed Leon Spinks for seven years.

More recently Mr Low was appointed by the Governor of the State Michigan and served nine years as the Chairman of the Boxing Commission, that later became renamed Unarmed Combat Commission for the State of Michigan.

During his tenure as Chairman of the Michigan State board Mr Low also sat on the board of the Detroit Golden Gloves.

On announcing the appointment of Mr Low as Chairman, Mr Di Caro said.

“It is with enormous pleasure that I am able to announce the appointment of Al Low, as the new Chairman of the Malta Boxing Commission and the MBC International Championship.

It just goes to show the stature of the Malta Boxing Commission today, that such a highly respected world renowned figure, such as Al is willing to come on board with us.

Al has a wealth of knowledge, as well as excellent contacts within World boxing circles, I am sure that with him at the helm the Malta Boxing Commission will go from strength to strength.

Over the coming weeks there will be further announcements, as we are actively seeking to strengthen the team, in light of the damaging actions by the former acting Chairman, Mr Leif Magnusson, as well as others associated with him, that were bought to our attention by European Boxing Union General Secretary, Mrs Enza Jacaponi last week.

Unfortunately I can’t say too much on this matter at this time, due to the on-going police investigation, but will say that I am confident that when the newly restructured board is complete, we will have one of the strongest boards in the business today, as it will consist mainly of well known and highly respected World boxing luminaries.

The top end of the board has been very strong for a while, as we have had the pleasure of having two time, two division World Champion Steve ‘Celtic Warrior’ Collins as our President, we have also had the pleasure of having two time Heavyweight Champion of the World, ‘Terrible’ Tim Witherspoon, as co-Vice President alongside myself, and of course now comes the news of the appointment of Al Low as Chairman.

All I can say right now is watch this space, the future is extremely bright for the Malta Boxing Commission and Boxing on the Islands of Malta.”

Dr. David Levine: World Champion fighters call him 'Magic Hands'

ROCKLEIGH, NJ (January 9, 2014) - After receiving pain management treatment developed by Dr. David Levine, active and retired fighters are calling him, "Magic Hands." Dr. Levine is an innovative chiropractic physician who is on a mission that may revolutionize combat sports. Practicing in the New Jersey/New York metropolitan area for nearly 20 years, Dr. Levine specializes in the treatment of chronic and severe pain.  His patients include NBA and NFL Hall of Famers as well as Olympians. He also donates his time and expertise to U.S. military personnel suffering acute and chronic pain and those returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan with post-war injuries.     Hands are the most important tools of fighters. Many often suffer debilitating pain from years of punching, as well as serious discomfort and injury to their elbows, neck, back, knees and other areas of the body routinely punished in their inherently violent profession. Fighting through pain is commonplace in combat sports in addition to being a training distraction.  Dr. Levine's fast-acting, drug-free and non-invasive treatment can help accelerate turnaround time of injury, not only resulting in a reduction of pain and muscle spasm, but also a release of tightness throughout the body, increasing agility, dexterity and strength.  This could prove invaluable to fighters seeking to optimize their performance and be at their physical best in the ring or cage, while hopefully attaining a competitive edge. "Trainers have reported to me that their fighters are hitting harder after I have treated them," Dr. Levine explained. "My treatment may also result in career extensions for athletes facing premature retirement due to chronic pain and discomfort. As with any treatment, however, results are obviously contingent on the specific condition, its severity and duration.  Ultimately, the treatment can be used as an assist by the vast majority of athletes seeking to enhance their performance."    (L-R) Dr. David Levine & Five-Time World Champion Zab Judah Only a few days before he last fought, five-time world boxing champion Zab "Super" Judah recently underwent treatment from Dr. Levine for hand, elbow and neck pain. Judah reported that he was pain free after only 45-minutes of treatment. "I had an experience that was mind blowing," Judah said in this unsolicited testimonial: Zab Judah 5x World Champion boxer after treatment by Dr. David Levine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e3Jva8IStM&feature=youtube_gdata_player "No tools, no medicine, no needles, no scalpels, no pills...nothing, the pain was gone! Dr. Levine has miracle hands." Dr. Levine has also had success treating retired world champions such as Johnny "Bump City" Bumphus and "Neon" Leon Spinks.  Bumphus had suffered severe pain in his back and legs and underwent surgery in 2005. "Until I met Dr. Levine," he noted. "The pain is now gone in my legs and back.  I can't believe it." Spinks had chronic knee pain for years but, after one treatment from Dr. Levine, he was pain free.  "Magic Hands" is what Spinks now calls Dr. Levine.
