Promoter Larry Goldberg says his seven-bout boxing card at Tropicana Atlantic City was fined after licensing and medical paperwork was submitted late. The fights, scheduled for Friday at The Showroom, remain subject to final approval by the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board and its doctors, according to Goldberg’s account in BoxingInsider.com.
Promoter acknowledges missed paperwork deadlines
Goldberg acknowledged that licensing and medical paperwork that should have been submitted on time was not. He said the commission was more accommodating than it had to be and that the show was fined.
All seven proposed fights were submitted to the athletic board and its doctors. Goldberg said the system protecting fighters’ health and safety worked as intended.
In describing the demands of organizing the event, Goldberg wrote, “I am the promoter, the publicist, the ticket seller, the travel agent.”

The scheduled card includes Justin Figueroa against Luis Caraballo Ramos in a rematch of their March bout, which ended in a no contest.
The other scheduled matchups are:
- George Arias vs. Joe Jones
- Iman Lee vs. Dannis Aguero Arias
