This May Everett native Joseph Petrone will be fighting for a cure, literally, in the annual Haymakers for Hope charity boxing event. On Thursday, May 7, at the well-known MGM Music Hall at Fenway, Petrone and 29 other brave fighters residing in the New England area will be stepping into the ring at this year’s event to combat cancer and raise money for their main beneficiary, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Since their first event in 2011, Haymakers for Hope has raised over $42 million for cancer research, awareness, survivorship and care. Participants have been training at local partner gyms over the course of the last four months, culminating in the highly anticipated live fight night at the state-of-the-art MGM Music Hall, performing in front of a sold-out crowd and fighting for a cure.
