\"Press<\/a>Veteran cut-man “Big” George Mitchell and junior middleweight prospect Patrick Day (10-1-1, 6 KOs) are scheduled guest speakers at tomorrow night’s (Thursday, June 18) Ring 8 monthly meeting at Plattduetsche Park in Franklin Square, New York.<\/p>\n

The evening kicks-off at 7 p.m. ET with a hot-and-cold buffet, followed an hour later with the start of the Ring 8 meeting.<\/p>\n

The 6’7″, 285-pound Mitchell has been a fixture at New York fights for decades, working the corners of champions, contenders, prospects and journeymen alike. He is a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of the late, great Al Gavin, considered by many as one of the greatest cut-men in boxing history.<\/p>\n

As an amateur boxer, Day was the ranked No. 1 American in the 152-pound decision. Fighting out of Freeport (NY), he is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, managed and trained by Joe Higgins.<\/p>\n

Day is stepping in for Higgins, who is unable to attend due to an amateur boxing engagement, as one of the Ring 8 June speakers. Higgins is coming off a win with another Ring 8 favorite he also handles, undefeated, world-rated light heavyweight contender Sean Monaghan (25-0, 16 KOs), of Long Beach (NY).<\/p>\n

Tomorrow night will be the last Ring 8 meeting this summer. The annual Ring 8 picnic is scheduled for August 30. Go online to www.Ring8ny.com for additional information.<\/p>\n
