Golden Gloves Chuck Berry to Honor Champ
Chuck Berry tells some pretty funny stories about his amateur boxing career in his Autobiography, and he still packed enough punch 30 years later to give Keith Richards a sore jaw. Even Jerry Lee Lewis admits to getting whupped by the true king. And on August 1, Berry and fellow St. Louis star Jackie Joyner-Kersee will show up at city hall to honor St. Louis world champion boxer Devon Alexander. You can read about it here-- and if you're sweltering in St. Louis in early August, you can go. (But check out Thursday's free concert first!). Read about the city hall visit HERE. Check out the free concert HERE. Or go straight to the source (and get free tickets) at http://www.stl2012.org/.
