EVENT RING ANNOUNCERS - MC

Jim FitzGerald
San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA

Jim FitzGerald, known as "FITZ", has been involved with boxing for over 15 years. He began selling tickets in 1986 to the Boxing shows that were held at the Fabulous Forum. By 1988 he was the Director of Season Seats for Forum Boxing, Inc.
As the Season Seat Director, he had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with Famed Ring Announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. Fitz had the opportunity to learn from Lennon by watching and listening intently.
On an early November morning Fitz was asked if he could substitute for the Legendary announcer, and was honored that he was asked to attempt to fill his shoes. Without hesitation Fitz jumped at the chance. Since that day, Fitz has announced at the Historic Grand Olympic Auditorium, Las Vegas Tropicana Hotel, Magic Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, Key Club on the Sunset Strip, amongst many other venues. Fitz announces regularly at the Quiet Canon on the grounds of the Montebello Country Club and also at the Hollywood Park Casino.
Among the fighters Fitz has had the pleasure to announce, are Former Heavyweight Champion Larry Holmes, "The King of the 4 Rounders" Butterbean, James "Lights Out" Toney, and Jaqueline Frazier the daughter of the Former Heavyweight Champion "Smokin" Joe Frazier, IKF World Champions, Cung Le, Matee Jedeepitak and Danny Steele.
Fitz has been seen announcing the fights on several broadcasts. He has announced on ESPN 2, UPN Channel 13, and Buena Vision. Fitz has also announced the fights on Pay-Per-View events and on many cable stations. He's been making a living off of his voice since he was seventeen years of age. He's been doing voice-overs and boxing highlight films, but his claim to fame was announcing the Los Angeles Laker games in the early 90's. With his distinctive deep voice and his "HEEEEEERE WE GO!" Fitz is recognized as one of the top boxing announcers today. He has been compared to the likes of the "Let's Get Ready To Rumble" guy, Michael Buffer, but Fitz will be the first to tell you that he has created his own unique style announcing the fights. We here at the IKF have seen Jim live in action and we must say, he sounds Great and is VERY Professional in his work!
