Celebrity Boxing 2019- “VOORHEES” Actress Danielle Sandler vs. G.L.O.W. Star Trish Ann-This Saturday!- Fitz of Horror Interview
Bryan Fitzgerald (Fitz of Horror) March 1, 2019
This Saturday, March 2, 2019, doesn’t just belong to the UFC, it also belongs to another great card of Celebrity Boxing brought to you by Title Boxing Club in Atlantic City. I am a huge fan and supporter of both horror and wrestling so the featured match on this card is especially intriguing.
The headlining match features Danielle Sandler, star of the upcoming Friday the 13th fan film “VOORHEES” squaring off against former Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling (G.L.O.W.) star Trish Ann. Trish was a great WWE style wrestler but has met defeat before in the celebrity boxing arena and Sandler is a self-proclaimed fitness junkie who works out regularly and makes a habit of eating right. She is also in great shape from her very physically demanding role in the upcoming VORHEES film (she can be seen in the trailer below).
I was able to catch up with Danielle ahead of her first celebrity boxing match and ask her a few questions about this momentous event-
Alright so how can people watch the event?
Danielle Sandler– People can watch this event on TV I believe (don’t quote me on that, you really should buy tickets to the event, go to webtix.net and put codename “Dani” in the fighter slot BEFORE checking out or else I don’t get paid).
Who is your opponent?
Danielle Sandler- My opponent is Trish Ann. She was in G.L.O.W (glamorous or gorgeous ladies of wrestling) she’s done a celebrity boxing match before but failed miserably (you can find it on YouTube lol) but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been training to go against me.
Do you have previous fighting experience?
Danielle Sandler– I work out every day. So I’m pretty fit. Even though this is my first fight, I’ve been training in boxing for over 2 and half years now.
I’ve been training with actor Christopher Inlow (he’s in Voorhees as the sheriff, but please check him out. He has been in a wide variety of incredible films and works with many famous and established people), Louis Sivak who formerly trained under Joe Frasier and is a close friend of the Fraiser family, and Jimmy Lange, who trained under Don Turner who trained Evander Holyfield (and we all know what happened to him lol) Jimmy was also on the contender.
And it’s an honor training under them
Who is favored?
Danielle Sandler– I’m hoping I’m favored lol. I’m going to kick her arse haha. I’m sure shes got her fans from her wrestling experience, but my friends and fans that know me know that my lifestyle is working out and staying fit, eating and being healthy (although I do indulge sometimes haha) and that I love boxing and have been wanting to compete for a long time.
Are you scared?
Danielle Sandler– No, I’m not scared.
Will you have any F13 stuff on?
Danielle Sandler- Unfortunately, I cannot wear F13 stuff because I cannot promote and I can’t go against any type of copyright without permission of course, but if my F13 Voorhees fans come out to see the fight, they can root me on, and make fun signs to hold in the crowd, stuff like that.
Where will this be?
Danielle Sandler– This will be at the showboat hotel in Atlantic City New Jersey, Saturday, March 2nd! Come on out because we’re fighting for a great cause, Alzheimer’s!
I am a producer on the upcoming VOORHEES film so the fact that Danielle is putting her body on the line like this to raise awareness for the film, as well as Alzheimer’s, speaks volumes about her dedication to the film as well as what an overall great person she is. She is an inspiration and deserves our support in anything she does. We wish you the best of luck!
Danielle Sandler also adds-
I love my fans.I thank God, my family, and friends and the connections I have. Never give up on your dreams.
If you help yourself and respect yourself, you will thrive, and stay original, Be the best you, and for those going through tough times, Your current situation is not your final destination!

I am a huge fan and supporter of independent horror and the dedicated people involved. I grew up watching all of the great slasher films of the 80s and also have a love for creature features and anthology horror. As horror fans the best way to help indie horror is to talk about it and to spread the word.
