Organizers planning boxing event at 1st Summit Arena in hopes of drawing nat'l attention

Johnstown, PA (WJAC) — Johnstown's boxing scene could be getting some national attention.

Officials with Kastle Boxing say a boxing show is being planned for 1st Summit Arena on May 13th.

Organizers say the show will feature fighter Tresean Wiggins.

Wiggins, who moved to Johnstown a decade ago, won the World Boxing Association/North American Boxing Association welter-weight title by knockout last January.

He's since defended it twice and is now looking to give back to the community.

If the event is successful, organizers say it could attract the attention of legendary boxing promoter Don King, which would take the sport to the next level in Johnstown.
