"It's been a fantastic year, so much has happened personally and professionally. I won my first world title in March and defended it in August plus I got married to the man of my dreams," said Napoleon. "I love working with different charities throughout the year and am honored to be part of the Long Island Fight for Charity Event. Also, being recognized by Ring 8 with their Fighter of the Year award is a great personal accolade and a wonderful way to cap off the year."
