There’s something historic happening at the Austin Music Hall this Friday that fans of the sweet science won’t want to miss. Joe Dumas Productions is presenting Legends: The Next Generation, which will be the first time that the children of two world champions, male and female, will co-headline a card. Jennifer Wolfe, the daughter of Austin’s own superwoman Ann Wolfe (who was the world champ in four different weight classes simultaneously), will be featured in the seven-fight event along with George “Monk” Foreman III. For those unfamiliar with his father, George Foreman, here’s a little background info: He was a two-time World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, won an Olympic gold medal, has five sons named George, and sells a little something called the George Foreman Grill. Calvin Shepherd and Johnny Arellano from the Wolfe Pack will also be throwing jabs, and the Reagan High School Drumline will do what they do. Fri., Feb. 25, doors at 6:30pm. $20, general admission; $40, reserved; $75, VIP ringside. Austin Music Hall, 208 Nueces, 263-4146. www.annwolfe.com.
