Dan Gross: Amy Fisher: Stripping, boxing locally this week

September 13, 2011|By Dan Gross
  • "Long Island Lolita": In town this week.

ONCE YOU'VE GONE to prison, made porn films and been on "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," collaborating with Damon Feldman seems a logical career trajectory.

Amy Fisher, who went to prison for shooting her boyfriend's wife in the face long before she launched her porn career, will be dancing at the Oasis Gentlemen's Club (5200 Essington) from Thursday to Saturday. On Friday she will be taking boxing lessons from Feldman in preparation for an upcoming match she's fighting out of town.

Feldman, who can no longer promote fights legally in Pennsylvania, says he's only training boxers now. The former fighter, nicknamed the "Jewish Bomber," is offering his services to all comers. Call 484-318-6133. He'll train Fisher on Friday afternoon at the Feldman Boxing Center at the Marple Sports Arena in Broomall.
