I am happy to announce the date and location for a tribute to Johnny Ortiz is now officially set for Sunday, May 23, 2010 at the Stevens Steak House, 5332 E. Stevens Place, Commerce, California 90040.

Festivities will begin at 1pm, with tickets priced at $40.00, and lunch will be served. This event will be highlighted by a book signing of Johnny’s new book “My Life Among the Icons” and will have many fighters past and present in attendance to honor Johnny.

For information you may contact Johnny “directly” at (818) 766-5519, and I hope to see all attend for a true living boxing icon, my friend, Johnny Ortiz!
