Grammy-nominated recording artist Matisyahu will sing his friend and fellow observant Jew Dmitriy Salita (31-1-1 16KO’s) into the ring with “King Without A Crown” when the welterweight goes up against Mike Anchondo (30-3 19 KO’s) for the IBA world title fight at Roseland on Dec. 16.
The two have been friends since 2006, when Matisyahu sang Salita into the ring for his NABA title win and TKO of Shawn Gallegos, and Salita is hoping for the same result this time.
“It’s gonna be a historic night of boxing,” Eli Tov, COO of Salita Promotions, told the New York Daily News. “We are already close to sold out.”
The undercard will feature the comeback of heavyweight Monte “Two Gunz” Barrett (34-9, 20 KO’s).
salita was really boxing against mattisyahu?????????????
he should have worn a yarmulka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS TO #3 NOT #4
IM TALKING TO #4 #5 #6 #8
Dmitry You are the great boxer and we want to see the world chanp belt on You. Disregard # 4 comment.
These kind of people like to check all garbige bags to find a dirts inside.
FORGET IT. Chossid is a PERSON who CONNERCTED to the REBBE and YOU are.
hwo are you to speak like that do you know him one thing i have to you are not nice go work on your midot
Whats pathetic comment(#3). Totally amazed how one knows when these losers (sorry calling a spade a spade) can have any moral rationalism in comparing who’s a chossid.
Sorry ladies and gentlemen but more then a few would rather have salita style judaism then the constant flow of unstable chassidishe shit’as and machlokes now overpowering our tribe from rabonnim to messira.
I’m totally blown away by this contempt of sorry reason.
This was supposed to be a cute little article about one Jewish star showing support for another. Instead it turned out to be a whole debate on yarmulkas?! Seriously, we Jews just live for finding things to argue about.
BTW, Matisyahu will be at the Salita’s event. Will you?
that is a bigoted comment
no anyone in that position INCLUDING A FFB would not have to wear a yarmulka!
Nice to see Matisyahu can box, but can Salita sing?
where can i get that rambam t shirt?
Thanks Alex Gorokhov for pictures of two STARS. I think your pc. # 1 is the first answer to comment #4. Dimitry has never been a faker.
go on Youtube and see Salitas videos when he is not training.
Always wearing a Yamak and talking about the Rebbe and Lubavitch.
How many people on tv do you see wearing a yamaka, do your research before making ignorant comments
they look so happy being frum, its inspiring!
It is always heartwarming to see when celebs get along and support each other. it is nice to see Mattis and Chaim
showing up for Salita’s support. with such achdus we will bring the geulah, now, amen!
a frum hassidic jew should be wearing a yurmulke, but i think that a bual teshuvah like Salita, you shouldn’t say too much.
Saliata keep it up!!
Two very inspiring chassidim. I wish more people were like them.
Salita is representing us and making us proud, would you make that comment to his face…it doesnt hurt to be nice…why say something like that ??
BS:D
No 4 are you that ignorant, he is not allowed to box with a Yarmulka, why must anything one does generate such negativity,The man gives of his time generously to speak at schools and is a big influence on the children. That’s pretty Chassidish to me-as it is the Rebbes main mission.I doubt anyone would show up to hear you speak and what are your qualifications to dein who is and what is Chassidish
in case you didn’t know,……
matisyahu isn’t boxing for real…….
salita is
u cant box with a yarmulke on it fall off every time he gets hit in the face unless he wears a head gear
do you wear a yarmulka when you swim or shower?
the only reason matis is wearing one is b/c he’s not boxing but playing. salita is boxing and wearing a yarmulka is not needed in such instances.
people, learn before running out into the world proclaiming your so-called frumkeit
Salitas is Chasidic how? Shomer Shabbos ok. However. when was the last time you saw a chasid without a.yarmulke? Matis is boxing WITH one.
matisyahu and salita are the best!!!
can we see a video?
