Both Hueck and
Botha requested Goldberg to make
a refereeing comeback for their
match and the WBF President, who
showed no signs of ring rust,
was more than happy to oblige.
“The
WBF is always ready to support
good causes and I owe boxing so
much that I had no hesitation to
accept the invitation when they
approached me about two months
ago at the press conference
announcing their charity match,”
said Howard Goldberg.
Although a few
kilos over his best refereeing
weight, Goldberg made a great
job as the third man and the
fight was ruled a split draw,
making everyone happy. Said the
World Boxing Federation’s boss
afterwards:
“It
was fantastic to be back in the
ring.
I
have to thank Uwe and Francois
for giving me the opportunity to
be involved in a fantastic
charity event, which i truly
enjoyed.”
