Alex-
I was wondering if you might be interested in doing a book
signing/fundraiser in the near future in Cal. or NY. I would like to come
give a lecture on Duran and the book project, sell the books and work out
something so the proceeds can help the foundation. If this interests you,
please get back to me.
Have a good day,
Chris
 COLONEL BOB SHERIDAN
Col. Bob Sheridan is an International celebrity having broadcast over 10,000 fights on radio and
television, with over 725 world title fights in a career spanning parts of five decades from the
late 1960's to the new millennium. Some of his accomplishments include:
Anchored the world feed of the first live heavyweight championship telecast—Foreman
vs. Ali in the 1974 in the historic "Rumble in the Jungle"—in Zaire, Africa. This fight
was telecast to an audience exceeding 1 billion people!
He also commentated the first heavyweight fight out of the Philippines—"The Thrilla
in Manila" featuring Ali vs. Frazier in 1975—Ring Magazine's "Fight of the Year."
Anchored the first live heavyweight title fight out of Japan, which was the upset of the century: Tyson vs. Douglas.
Commentated the first live telecast our of China on Showtime in 2000, which showcased Laila
Ali's first televised fight (arranged by RBF Founder, Alex Ramos), followed by Andrew
Golota in the main event.
Anchored the world feed of a fight with the largest live crowd in the history of boxing
(135,000 live gate!!!), featuring Julio Caesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City.
Colonel Bob Sheridan is an award winning broadcaster/commentator respected by the biggest names in boxing.
He has been the witness to boxing history –from the ordinary to the extraordinary—and has
shared what he has seen with millions of people around the world. According to his fans, Sheridan
is candid yet respectful of the sport and the athletes who have paved the way for his position as
International Commentator Extraordinaire. Boxing fans are sure to know his voice, if not his face,
because he is also the man who does the voice-overs for hundreds of the ESPN Classics.
No one could ever doubt Sheridan's dedication to the sport and to his position as
international commentator. Experiencing a third heart attack and angioplasty,
Sheridan checked himself out of the hospital, convincing his cardiologist Dr. Ram
Singh to administer fluids and monitor his blood pressure while he commentated the
Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson rematch, Sheridan never skipped another beat (no pun intended)
and returned to the hospital after the fight for his second angioplasty procedure.
The Retired Boxers Foundation executives and supporters are huge fans of Colonel Bob Sheridan because
he "walks the talk" of helping the organization to help the fighters. The Retired Boxers Foundation
was successful in recruiting Col. Bob Sheridan to their Board of Directors in 2001, followed by two
recruits, political consultant, James Carville and respected real estate developer from New England,
Gary Litchfield. Sheridan never misses a chance to say good things about Alex Ramos and what he
is doing through the Retired Boxers Foundation. "I can always count on Bob Sheridan. His word is
for real and THAT is really something in this sport," said Ramos. The Retired Boxers Foundation
considers Col. Bob Sheridan one of the "Undisputed Champions for Dignity. Sheridan was inducted
into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 2004.
