June 5, Yankee Stadium, 1 E. 161st St. (betw. River & Jerome Aves.), Bronx, 718-293-1786; 10, $50.
Brooklyn Orthodox Jew Yuri Foreman takes on bad-ass Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in the WBA Junior Middleweight bout. That’s exciting! But if you aren’t a boxing fan, there are still reasons to go, like Hasidic Jews “mingling” with Puerto Ricans at a sporting event. The last time there was a boxing bout at Yankee Stadium was when Muhammad Ali beat Ken Norton in 1976, so it’s kinda historic.
Bottom Line: Go to watch the fight or, if not the fight, the people!
