Well one more day to go here in Boxings TitleTown Canastota. New York at the 2026 @BoxingHall. Day 3 was fantastic on the grounds with lectures and the Banquet of Champions went great.

We are READY! Excited to welcome boxing greats and fans from around the world to Canastota for the 2026 @BoxingHall Induction Weekend! A full weekend of events are planned in “Boxing’s Hometown”! 🥊

As part of my annual tradition at the @BoxingHall I stay at the legendary Days Inn my first few nights in Canastota before heading to the @TurningStone in a few days. During a commercial break during the @nyknicks vs @spurs final game 3 I was summoned to my only window. For some reason I grabbed my phone and was pleasantly surprised to see this. Even the Deers in Canastota know Smitty is in town and wanted to say hello. What does this all mean ? There were 3 Deers in all that kept me company for about 3 hours. Nice way to wrap up my Day 1 of the 2026 @BoxingHall Induction weekend. #deersibcanastota #ibhof2026day1
