Raiding the Rock Vault 1RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT salutes Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion Leon Spinks with a very special performance. In honor of Spinks’ 60th birthday, today, July 11, RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT has announced that it will host a “Night of the Champion” show at LVH – Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, formerly the Las Vegas Hilton, the historic location where he defeated Muhammad Ali in 1978. Proceeds from the night will go to The Richard Steele Foundation & Boxing Club and New Vista.

“Leon Spinks is a living legend,” said John Payne, creator, director and producer of RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT. “LVH is one of the locations where he made history and we’re honored to celebrate him and support two local nonprofits that are dedicated to wonderful causes.”

Spinks brought home the gold medal at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal as a champion in the light heavyweight division. The next year, he made his professional boxing debut and worked his way up the ranks, becoming one of the leading heavyweight challengers. In 1978, he defeated Muhammad Ali for the undisputed heavyweight championship at LVH in what was considered one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. RAIDING THE ROCK VAULT and LVH proudly welcome Spinks for a night of rock ‘n’ roll mayhem at the very location of his historic fight against Ali.
