Boxing Champ Hector ‘Macho’ Camacho to Appear on Playgirl

PLAYGIRL.com, the internet’s leading source for hot nude celebrity hunks, has announced it will shoot boxing superstar Hector Camacho in January 2010 for its website, magazine and cable-on-demand channels. The magazine feature will include a 25 year retrospective of his popular 1985 PLAYGIRL spread.

Growing up on the rough streets of El Barrio, Hector â??Machoâ? Camacho found refuge in the Boys Club of New York and local boxing gyms. More than 30 years after dazzling New York City as the youngest Golden Gloves Champion ever, Hector is now poised for an historic comeback. The slick southpaw from East Harlem won his first World Boxing Championship titles in 1983 and is now a 10 time World Champion boxer in six divisions and, future Boxing Hall of Famer. Today he is lean and fit and hoping to defy the odds, at the age of 47, by fighting for the European middleweight title in March 2010. In addition to training for his next championship title, Mr. Camacho is in negotiations to appear in two reality television shows.

Just as he did at the peak of his 1980s boxing stardom, Hector â??Machoâ? Camacho will once again delight a new generation of PLAYGIRL fans with his world-champion physique and bigger-than-life character. “Hector Camacho has everything our fans want. He’s a sexy, strong man whose life has run the gamut from a tough ghetto upbringing to world-class athletic stardom. Between his sensational story and the secret tattoo on his most private of parts, this spread will have a lot of people talking about ‘Macho’ Camacho again,” says Daniel Nardicio, Director of Marketing for PLAYGIRL.com.

PLAYGIRL was first published in 1973 during the height of the feminist movement as a response to erotic men’s magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse that featured photos of only women. PLAYGIRL magazine was the first mainstream magazine to focus on gorgeous men and their bodies and has continued to deliver the sexiest men to consumers for over 35 years throughout all of their distribution channels including PLAYGIRL.com and PLAYGIRL on Demand cable channels. The PLAYGIRL print publication was resurrected with the â??50 Sexiest Student Bodies of All Timeâ? issue in December, 2009.
