BALAZS BOXING PRESS RELEASE

Allentown, PA, July 25, 2005: Balazs takes home boxing workouts to a new level with the introduction of the i-Box Speed Bag Platform (SBP), the company's high-performance offering designed specifically for home gyms on a budget.

In addition to the reduced price point, the i-Box SBP offers consumers three finished color choices giving them the ability to match their purchase to their personal style. The i-Box SBP is available in three striking colors: Contender Yellow, Knockout Red, and Champion Black. This durable, glossy powdercoated finish complements the natural beauty of the finished wood drum.

The i-Box SBP features updated styling and reduced maintenance without sacrificing Balazs' trademark durability. Designed with the same superior quality philosophy as Balazs' professional products, the i-Box Speed Bag Platform sports a super-stiff V-frame bracket constructed from 11-gauge steel tubing and a 1-1/2 inch thick wood drum for solid rebounding action and a high performance workout.

The i-Box Speed Bag Platform adjusts more than 12 inches vertically to allow proper positioning for multiple boxers and the ergonomic knobs lock tight against the rails for a secure hold. The clear-coated 1-1/2 inch thick wood drum is 24 inches in diameter to accommodate all speed bag sizes; attached to the drum is a quiet and smooth acting Everlast® swivel.

"The i-Box Speed Bag Platform is the perfect choice for the budget-minded home gym owner," says Peter Pecsvaradi, President of Balazs, Inc. "Our commercial-grade products are typically used in fitness clubs and boxing gyms, but we wanted to provide a more affordable option for individuals without the resources of a larger fitness club. Using new design elements, we can now offer a lower-cost product that maintains the quality and durability that our company is known for."

The i-Box Speed Bag Platform is now available for direct purchase from Balazs, Inc. Visit www.boxingsource.com for details.
