Not since the glory days of Donald Trump, Mark Etess and Bernie Dillion has Atlantic City been able to enjoy high quality boxing cards on a regular basis

In those magical days (late 1980’s & early 1990’s), Atlantic City was the boxing Capital of the World.

We have Larry Goldberg and his Boxing Insider brand to thank for the resurgence of boxing in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Goldberg is Margate, New Jersey raised and he cut his boxing teeth in New York City.

As the iconic song goes … “If you can make it there … you can make it anywhere” rings true as Goldberg has successfully promoted a number of New York City boxing cards.

Of late, Goldberg has found a great home at The Tropicana Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Goldberg’s last card at Tropicana was on Saturday, March 22, 2025 (see below):
