Vernon, if you’re watching, reading, or listening, know that we miss you. You left us just before Omri won his first belt and this means you won’t be physically at ring-side when he goes in to defend it. But JUST BECAUSE you touched his life in such a meaningful way in the early days at Holyfield Arena, your spirit will always be with him and with us.
Thank you, Vernon, the Viper. Thank you, Georgia Fighters, for paying tribute to Vernon in this way and for giving those who knew him another opportunity to publicly acknowledge the invaluable contributions that Vernon Forrest made to the boxing profession, not only in Georgia, but WORLDWIDE!
