Walker Award for Long and Meritorious Services, will serve as the Editor-at-Large, supplying featured content to the publication, while world renowned boxing photographer, Howard Schatz's has been named the magazine's cover photographer.

"We are very excited about our agreement we have entered into with Round1 magazine, especially that it gives us the opportunity to give something back to each and every fan that attends one of our events," stated Joe DeGuardia, President of the BPA. "They have really put together an all-star team with Farhood and Schatz, two of the best in the business, and we know the product's quality will speak for itself."

"I'm extremely excited about working with the BPA to bring Round1 to the masses," says Lamar Clark, founder of Clark Creative Media, Inc. who first published Round1 in 2007. "Fight fans deserve a treat for their passionate following and this arrangement gives them just that. BPA members add value to their events and our audience of mostly sports-enthused men, leave the arena with a piece of memorabilia."
