Boxing


Former Phoenixville Area Police Athletic League (PAL) professional junior middleweight boxer Harry Joe Yorgey of Bridgeport won the biggest fight of his career Saturday night at a casino in Miami, Oklahoma.
Yorgey stayed undefeated with a ninth-round knockout of Ronald Hearns, who was also undefeated and is the son of former pro star Thomas Hearns. Yorgey knocked Hearns to the canvas three times during the fight, that was televised live on Showbox.
Yorgey won a belt for the fight and looks to move up higher on the worldwide boxing rankings.
Yorgey formerly trained with Jim Deoria and John Mulvenna at the Phoenixville Civic Center on Main Street. He is now trained by Henry Racich.
Yorgey, now 31, is married and he and his wife have four children.
