Sad to report the passing of longtime boxing promoter Fred Berns at the age of 84 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Berns promoted hundreds of events in the Midwest over a span of more than four decades. Stars he promoted on his shows include Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. He was inducted into the Indiana Boxing Hall of Fame in the inaugural 2018 class.

Fred did a great job keeping the fight game strong in the Midwest. RIP
Fred was my first promoter. I have nothing but good memories of him. Thanks for the memories Fred. See you on the other side.
A life well lived and gave back more than asked for. Friends for 40 yrs., always a kind soul with a good heart. I will miss our 35 + years of Thursday lunches. Thanks for being my friend Fred.
Fred did so much for boxing in the Midwest for 40 years. He should be on the ballot at Canastota, NY.
Fred was my promoter. It broke my heart to hear of his passing. My boxing coach passed away in April and now my promoter :-(. Very sad year
