Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports launched their first boxing event in New York Friday with plenty of celebrities in attendance like Rihanna and Spike Lee, and entertaining performances by Fabolous and DJ Mustard.
According to Miss Info, "Throne Boxing" was hosted by Angie Martinez at The Garden Theater at Madison Square Garden. Dusty Hernandez-Harrison squared off against Tommy Rainone and continued his 25-0 record by winning the WBC Continental Americas welterweight championship. Other fights included Tureano Johnson against Alex Theran and Andrew Hernandez (8-0-1) against Jerry Odom (12-1.) Johnson took the WBC silver and WBA International middleweight championships and Odom suffered his first loss.
The melee was one of the first boxing events at the venue in years, especially when it came to its star-studded guests. Michael K. Williams, The View's Rosie Perez, Jake Gyllenhaal and Santigold were also in attendance. Hernandez-Harrison shared his thoughts on the event with The New York Post.
"Roc Nation is going to take off and become a power,'' he said. "Somebody said on social media that years from now I'm going to be a trivia question (Who headlined their first Garden card?). That would be pretty cool.''
