QUINCY, Զանգված. (Հունվար 3, 2022) – Granite Chin Promotions has announced its first event of 2022, “Showcase,” scheduled on Saturday night, Փետրվար 26րդ, at Sheraton Hotel in Framingham, Մասաչուսեթս.
“Showcase” will mark Granite Chin’s first event in Massachusetts in more than 2 տարի, as well as being only the second professional boxing show ever in Framingham, which is located 23 miles west of Boston.
“I am excited to be coming back to Massachusetts,” Granite Chin president Chris Traietti said. “Between changes occurring with the commission, then COVID, I just felt like it was a good time to step away for a bit, head up to New Hampshire and let things sort of settle in Massachusetts. Now that things are sort of back to normal, I feel like the time is right to bring our great club-show boxing back to Massachusetts. This card is going to be highly competitive from top to bottom. I have the roster now where I can both develop fighters and put on high quality local shows. 2020 was about making good relationships with other promoters and matchmakers; 2021 about developing a quality roster and keeping guys busy during a pandemic. 2022 is going to be geared towards becoming the face of quality local boxing shows and getting Granite Chin fighters on high-level, world-class cards all across the country.”
The 8-round main event will pit local favorite Nelson “Chino” Perez (5-0, 2 Նոկաուտով) against New Jersey veteran super lightweight Tyrone “Hands of Stone” Luckey (15-16-4, 11 Նոկաուտով).
Perez is a native of Puerto Rico who lives in Marlboro (MA), which borders Framingham. A past New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur, Perez is coming off a dominating 4-round unanimous decision victory (40-34 X 3) Դեկտեմբեր 4րդ against Raymundo Rios Cardies on a DAZN card in Manchester, New Hampshire. Perez will be fighting in his first scheduled 8-round bout.
Luckey, fighting out of Manahawkin, NJ, is the reigning ABF USA Mid-American Super Lightweight Champion. The dangerous Luckey has been a gatekeeper of lightweight up to welterweight divisions having fought top prospects such as Mike Ohan, Jr. Amaամեյն Օրտիս, Tyler Tomlin, and Frank Martin. Luckey has recent back-to-back victories against previously unbeaten Eduardo Aquilar.
Hot welterweight prospect Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (7-0, 5 Նոկաուտով), of Holyoke (MA), faces Alfred “Keenan” Raymond (1-0) in the 6-round co-featured event.
Denzel, the latest member of the “Fightin’ Whitley family,” is trained by his father and uncle, համապատասխանաբար, Derrick and Darrin, who were respected pro fighters in New England.
Fighting out of Warwick, Rhode Island, the 31-year-old Raymond made his pro debut this past November 13րդ, upsetting previously undefeated Julien Baptiste (3-0) by way of a 4-round split decision.
