Legendary junior welterweight boxer "Irish" Micky Ward, and the Retired Boxers Foundation have proudly announced that the 4th Annual "Irish" Micky Ward Celebrity Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, August 27, at the luxurious Indian Ridge Country Club in Andover, Massachusetts. All proceeds from this tremendous event will go to benefit the Retired Boxers Foundation.

In his nearly 19-year career as a professional fighter, "Irish" Micky Ward captured a WBU world title, had roughly 30 bouts telecast on ESPN, an additional 7 on HBO, and the first of his three epic fights with Arturo "Thunder" Gatti is considered by many to be the greatest fight of all time. Ward's historic career captured the hearts and souls of boxing fans, as well as Paramount Pictures. The major movie production company is producing a movie based on the life and career of Micky Ward. Filming for the movie, which is aptly to be named "The Fighter," will begin this summer.

The Retired Boxers Foundation was established in 1998, by Alex "The Bronx Bomber" Ramos, and assists retired professional boxers in the transition from their glory days in the ring, to a dignified retirement.

"This tournament is a heck of a lot of fun, and the proceeds go to support a tremendous cause," says Ward. "In my 19-years as a fighter, I always gave everything I had to the sport of boxing. I may be retired now, but my fight will continue, with Alex Ramos and the RBF!"

With the return of a terrific championship venue, new and returning celebrities, awards ceremonies, contests, prizes, and an outstanding post-tournament dinner, this year's event promises to be the best thus far.
