Wall Street Execs to Fight for Charity

Finance and real estate players are planning to duke it out for charity. The Extell Development Company announced today that it would stage the Extell Wall Street Boxing Charity Championship on November 1 at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The company has recruited yet-to-be-named executives from banks and trading firms to go into the ring. The fighters, who will be sanctioned by USA Boxing, will compete in six Olympic-style fights during a black-tie gala staged by Trader Monthly and Dealmaker magazines. The benefiting charities will be announced at a future date.
