Murphys Boxeo is proud to announce their 4th Annual St. Choque día de Patrick tendrá lugar el día Sábado, March 16th una vez más al House of Blues en Boston.

DeLuca is coming off the highest profile win of his career this past October when he fought on the undercard of Demetrius Andrade de world title fight at TD Garden which was shown worldwide on DAZN. DeLuca won a unanimous decision in what was an immediate rematch of the only blemish on his record, a split decision loss to Walter Wright, considered by most in attendance to be a robbery. Now DeLuca finds himself, not only one of the most popular fighters in New England, but also in contention for a world title shot later this year.
“Being in the Top 10 ahora, I know that I’m only a phone call away from a life changing opportunity.”, explains the former Marine turned title contender.
“I’m always in the gym. I’m staying focused. I know I need a good performance against Williams to keep that opportunity alive.”
Having already headlined a Murphys Boxing event on St. Día de Patrick, DeLuca is well aware that it isn’t the average boxing card.
“St. Día de Patrick. Boston. Dropkick Murphys. What more can you say? The atmosphere is electric.”

“Boston is a home away from home for me.”, says the outspoken, handlebar mustached slugger who has fought in the New England area 10 veces.
“Murphys Boxing Saint Patrick’s Day events are not to be missed. The crowd is insane and I’m coming to give them what they wanna see… a fight!”

South Boston’s Joe Farina (4-1, 3 KOs), who last fought against Gambardella, dropping a razor close majority decision on the undercard of Demetrius Andrade’s middleweight title fight at TD Garden, will look to get back in the winning column in a four round welterweight rematch against New Jersey’s Steve Moore (1-6, 1 KO) who lost a split decision to Farina last year.
