In 2018, he moved from the Big Apple to Newport Beach, California, where his passion continues for boxing, film and theater.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cRed, Green &amp; Yellow\u201d is on sale for $9.99 in paperback, $2.00 as a kindle book. Go to https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0F7RMJY8C\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 for more details and to purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Stevens\u2019 latest screenplay is based in 1992 in New York City. Taxi driver Nick Castle gets caught up in a world of cocaine, art, and the occult. When he finally realizes what he has gotten himself into, he learns that getting out is fraught with obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to write screenplays and Southern California seemed like the best place to do it,\u201d Stevens explained. \u201cPlus, at least part-time, I\u2019ve always lived near the ocean. And I\u2019m extremely fortunate to be able to do that here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouthern California has many theaters and theater companies, and I belong to the Orange County Playwrights Association (OCPA) and some of my plans, including \u2018Under the Hood,\u2019 \u2018Pulling Teeth,\u2019 and \u2018The Rifle Ministry \u2018, have had table reads as I refine them before handing them over for production. Boxing, I find, is a sport that most resembles theater and as a boy, I felt passionate about both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A noted boxing matchmaker for years, most notably for legendary promoter Cedric Kushner, as well as a ring announcer, boxing magazine writer and editor, and radio announcer, Stevens was a high profile boxing commissioner from 2003 to 2008 in the state of New York. Today, he is a licensed boxing judge in California and New York, in addition to writing screenplays.<\/p>\n<p>Stevens made fights for himself and Kushner featuring world-class boxers such as Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Vladimir Klitschko, Hasim Rahman, Ray Mercer, Lou Del Valle, Mark Breland, Angel Manfredy, Oleg Maskaev, Kirk Johnson, Regilio Tuur, Bronco McKart, Antonio Tarver, Verno Phillips, Reggie Johnson, and Jake Rodr\u00edguez among many others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile chairman,\u201d Stevens said, \u201cI oversaw fights like Miguel Cotto-Shane Mosley, Felix Trinidad-Ricardo Mayorga, John Ruiz-Andrew Golata, Samuel Peter-Jameel McCline, and many more big-time boxing main events and co-features plus loads of terrific undercards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was appointed chairman of the NYSAC there were just 17 events the year before I arrived. The year I left there were 40. I had a terrific staff, officials, ringside physicians, deputy commissioners and inspectors. We made things happen and kept boxers safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another of Stevens\u2019 screenplays, \u201cEyes Closed,\u201d is also about to be available on Amazon later this summer. Two sequels to \u201cRed, Green and Yellow\u201d \u2013 \u201cIn the Heart of Brooklyn\u201d and \u201cThe Monkey Queen\u201d &#8212; will also be available on Amazon later this summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
