Press Release Summary: The world of sports collide as boxer Larry Barnes steps into
the ring against wrestler Larry Sweeney and TNA Superstars Team 3D are the featured
attractions for a pro wrestling event on April 5 in New Rochelle, NY.


Press Release Body: New Rochelle, NY, February 7, 2008 - The battle lines have been
drawn and the participants in the "Boxer vs. Wrestler" match are set. Professional
wrestler "Sweet 'n' Sour" Larry Sweeney's open contract to any professional athlete
was signed by former professional boxer, Larry Barnes (44-3-0, 17 knockout's) for
the New York State Wrestling Federation's (NYSWF) return on Saturday, April 5 at
7:30 p.m. in New Rochelle, NY at New Rochelle High School.

Sweeney has let it known amongst his contemporaries in the wrestling industry that
he expects to slow down Barnes and take him off his feet to his advantage thus
turning the match into a one sided wrestling tutorial.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I expect a former boxer to sign the contract," said
Sweeney, who currently wrestles for Ring of Honor Wrestling. "I am just going to
have to show Barnes that he is walking into my ring on April 5. If he had any
respect for the wrestling business, he'd buy a ticket and sit in the front row.
He's making a huge mistake stepping into a wrestling ring with me."

Barnes is content in knocking out Sweeney early on, but is preparing for the match
should Sweeney decide to take the contest to the ground.

"If I have to body slam Mr. Sweeney than that's what I'll do, but I'm going for a
knockout," said Barnes, who boxed against the likes of Felix Trinidad Jr. during his
boxing career.

In addition to that spectacular match, Total Non-Stop Action (TNA) Wrestling
Superstars, Team 3D will showcase their tag-team style. Team 3D is comprised of
Brother Devon & Brother Ray and were formerly known as the Dudley Boyz when they
wrestled for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Collectively, the tandem are
20-time former World Tag Team Champions for the WWE, TNA ECW and other wrestling
promotions throughout the word.

Team 3D's main event match will serve as a homecoming for Brother Devon, who played
varsity football at New Rochelle High School before joining the ranks of
professional wrestling.

Also appearing on Saturday, April 5 will be Romeo Roselli, who has competed
previously for WWE & TNA. Currently, Roselli is recognized as the World Heavyweight
Champion in Europe and is eagerly anticipating his return to the NYSWF. He also has
roles in two major motion picture film releases, "College Road Trip" and "Baby
Mama", both premiering this spring.

Former New Rochelle City Councilman and current President of New Rochelle's Youth
Tackle League, Joe Fosina has been signed to serve as the special guest referee for
the ladies match scheduled for April 5.

This wrestling spectacular is being sponsored locally by LA Boxing's locations in
Mamaroneck, NY and Secaucus, NJ.
