Riddick Bowe is one of five former world boxing champions lined up as special guests for a business conference in Bermuda in October.

The former undisputed world heavyweight champion, who gained the title in 1992 by defeating Evander Holyfield, will add a touch of star appeal to the World Alternative Investment Summit.

The three-day event is being held at Fairmont Southampton from October 11 to 13.

The other former world champion boxers attending as guests are Chris Byrd, Lamon Brewster, Ray Mercer and James Toney.

The event brings together investment officers, managers, administrators, prime brokers, lawyers, and others linked to the alternative investment space.

The special guest at last year’s WAIS summit in Bermuda was former NBA all-star and Hall of Famer, and entrepreneur Earl “The Pearl” Monro.

Details of the summit agenda, guest speakers and activities are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
