Promoter Dmitriy Salita says he’s overjoyed by the support being given by Greektown and Dr. Darrius.

“With the city’s premier casino and top radio personality onboard, I feel like all our combined efforts will continue to breathe life back into professional boxing in this great city, while taking time to help out its less fortunate. I give my sincere thanks to both for their support.”
