Lewiston, Maine (Augustus 12, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF) keert terug naar Lewiston op September 10, 2016 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” The fight card will feature both mixed-martial-arts and professional boxing bouts. Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the first pro boxing bout signed for the event. Brandon Montella (4-0, 3 KO) zal op zich te nemen Tollison Lewis (2-1, 1 KO) in een vier-ronde licht-zwaargewicht wedstrijd.
Montella graduated from Carrabec High School in North Anson, Maine in 1998. Soon after, Montella joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC). He served in the marines until 2003 when he received an honorable discharge. After spending the better part of a decade in Virginia, Montella moved with his wife to the Boston, Massachusetts area in 2011. He owns and operates The Way, LLC boxing gym in Woburn, Massachusetts. Montella has been on a tear in the boxing ring of late, scoring three knockouts in an eight-month period.
Tollison Lewis cut his teeth in the NEF MMA cage. He has found more success, echter, in the boxing ring. Lewis took a fight on one day’s notice against veteran John Webster (8-7-1, 6 KO) in het najaar van 2014. He would dominate that fight and win by decision. Lewis followed up that performance with a stoppage of Zenon Herrera (0-2) vorig jaar, earning himself a crack at Brandon Berry’s (11-2-1, 7 KO) Northeast Junior Welterweight Title earlier in 2016. Lewis predicts nothing short of an all-out slugfest with Montella on September 10.
“I’m expecting a battle,” Said Lewis. “I know I’ll be prepared for one. Expect a war! I’m not going to talk about it – I’m going to show it, and losing isn’t an option.”
