Henderson, Nevada- TVS Boxing.Net, the full time streaming video IPTV channel, will televise monthly fights from the Silver Nugget Casino in North Las Vegas beginning September 30th.

TVS Boxing.Net is a full time streaming video channel featuring the greatest television fights from the past 60 years. The channel also features current fights from top promoters such as Patrick Ortiz and Richard Steele.

"We are delighted to add Silver Nugget Casino fights to TVS Boxing.Net," said TVS CEO Charry Kennedy. "Promoter Richard Steele runs a first class operation, as do the owners of the Silver Nugget Casino. We're proud to be a part of these fights being televised worldwide."

TVS Boxing.Net currently is featuring top pro and college championship fights from the past 60 years of TV boxing. From the Gillette Friday Night Fights of the 1950's to the Video Techniques Muhammad Ali Championship Fights of the 1960's and 70's, to the Main Event Championship fights of the 1980's, to the
championship fights from Atlantic City casinos in the 90's.

On October 11th, TVS Boxing.Net is televising the Boxing Illustrated Middleweight Championship fight with 15-1-1 Joey Gilbert, formerly seen on The Contender.

The Silver Nugget Casino, located at the top of the Las Vegas Strip, has a long history of boxing. Its Silver Nugget Event Center, a 14,000 sq. ft. facility, has been renovated under new ownership.

Richard Steele is the Boxing Hall of Famer known for refereeing so many major fights the past two decades. Now a promoter, Steele runs a boxing gym in North Las Vegas and is scheduling five fights each month with an eye on developing top talent in Las Vegas.

"Las Vegas has not had a regular club fight venue since the Silver Slipper," said Steele. "This is needed in Las Vegas so these young fighters can get a chance to develop and hopefully become champions. To be able to show them off on TVS Boxing.Net makes this even more attractive to these young rising stars."
