Sampson Lewkowicz is inducted into the Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On September 29, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, Promoter Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing was proudly inducted into the Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame\u2019s 2023 class of honorees in the \u201cSpecial Contributor\u201d category for his \u201cextensive contributions to the boxing industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sampson was honored at a glitzy ceremony, along with legendary fighters including his former fighter Sergio \u201cMaravilla\u201d Martinez, Paul Williams, and James \u201cBuster\u201d Douglas, among a star lineup.<\/p>\n

Other Special Contributor inductees included journalist Randy Gordon, trainer James McGirt and matchmaker Eric Bottjer.<\/p>\n

Having devoted his life to the sport over the last three decade Sampson has handled the careers of dozens of world champions and been credited with discovering several of the sport\u2019s breakout superstars, including Manny Pacquiao, Sergio \u201cMaravilla\u201d Martinez, Sultan Ibragimov, David \u201cThe Mexican Monster\u201d Benavidez, Jeison Rosario, Jorge Barrios, Chris John, Michael Katsidis, World Champion siblings Sebastian and Gabriela Fundora, and many more.<\/p>\n

The Uruguayan promoter also kept a very special relationship with the late former IBF World Lightweight Champion Leavander Johnson and stood vigil at Johnson\u2019s bedside for a week when he was seriously injured in a 2005 title defense. Before his death, Johnson credited Lewkowicz\u2019s efforts to arrange his title-winning TKO over Italy\u2019s Stefano Zoff as having helped him become a \u201cComplete man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sampson also served as matchmaker and site coordinator for countless Atlantic City events televised on USA Network\u2019s legendary Tuesday Night Fights and has gone on to promote several more AC shows on ShoBox: The New Generation and ESPN Friday Night Fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to be acknowledged by the Atlantic City Hall of Fame,\u201d said Sampson. \u201cAtlantic City is where many of my fondest memories in boxing have occurred and I thank the Hall for their valued recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n
