    Fundraising to fly eder jofre to los angeles for historic re-union

    Ok, as some of you here know I have been working closely with the Jofre family and am releasing the officially authorized biography on his life and career in early 2021. I am also bringing his family out here to Los Angeles In March (if COVID permits) or July (if we have to wait for vaccine). This is not cheap. I have put $2000 down and will put a further $1000 down if need be of my own money. There will be four of them that I am buying flights for and covering the accommodation for a week . I will also have him doing exciting meetings and I will be hosting two events which his fans are welcome to attend if they are in the LA area. At the events we will watch his fights with Eder on a projector screen, drink beer and BBQ. This is for all fans who help with the funding. What am I asking and offering? Here is my post from social media. You can PM me here and we can exchange contact information that way. I am active in Facebook and Instagram. I am not too active here but will check my PM's for the next few days.

    I am helping to raise funds to bring my friends from ���� Brazil, the great eder_jofre_oficial_ and his family marceljofre andreajofre_ here to Los Angeles ���� . I need your help & with $60 (postage included) for a personalized signed photo from Eder, you'll be helping fund me fund this historical event. We will be inducting Eder into the West Coast Boxing Hall of Fame here in Los Angeles next year. Those purchasing a photo also enter a raffle for a free signed glove by Eder. You will also be invited to hang out with the champ and watch his fights with him if you are able to be in the area when he is here.

    Send me a PM or e-mail chris_james_smith@hotmail.com if you are interested. Thank you!

    Jofre fought here at the Olympic Auditorium twice in 1960 against Jose Medel in what he says was his hardest fight and also when he became Brazil’s first world champion by defeating Eloy Sanchez. He also fought once in San Francisco defeating Herman Marquez. Jofre is the greatest bantamweight in history and one of the greatest fighters ever pound for pound. He is also the oldest living member in the modern category of the International Boxing Hall of Fame at 84.


    I am offering gloves for $90 signed.

    Thanks to all and good health to all!

      No problems shipping to the U.K. I have a friend there who I will send all U.k orders to and he'll mail them out. He's in Liverpool.

      I accept Paypal. You can follow me on instagram chrisjs1985 or e-mail me at chris_james_smith@hotmail.com.

      I am looking to get everything sent from Brazil in two to three weeks. His daughter will be mailing everything to me from Sao Paulo and from here I will post everything.

        Just an update that Eder will be here with his family in March. I’ll be hosting them for 10 days. He’ll be here with his son, his sons wife and their daughter in addition to his daughter, her husband and a cousin.

        I’ll be raising funds now for Eder to be at the IBHOF in June for the ceremony weekend. I’ll be hosting them then in NYC for a few days and Canastota for three nights.

        Gloves and photos still for sale plus more items.
