Brooklyn’s Rafael “Dinamito” Vazquez (15-1, 12 KOs) has kept a busy schedule in 2015 and will return for his fourth fight this year in an eight-round featherweight contest. The 37-year-old Vazquez is not your typical boxer. While he is ranked high in the world rankings at number seven and is seeking a world title opportunity, fame and glory are not his top priorities. With an autistic daughter and a wife diagnosed with cervical cancer, Vazquez fights for his family. Getting a late start to boxing, Vazquez, who lost both of his parents at an early age and endured a stint in prison as a wayward youth, turned pro in September 2010. He has since donated portions of his purses to autism research, while also holding fundraisers to help raise awareness. After suffering a shocking split decision loss to Jhovany Collado in 2012, Vazquez, who has absolutely devastating power in both hands, has stopped six of his last seven opponents, including the 30-2 Leon Moore.

Polish heavyweight knockout artist Adam Kownacki (10-0, 9 KOs) will return to Barclays Center following a dominant eight-round unanimous decision over the tough Ytalo Perea onMajo 29.

Profesia pro tio ke 2009, Kownacki has gained immeasurable experience sparring with heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko on multiple occasions. Prior to his bout in May, Kownacki had scored all of his knockouts in five rounds or less. He’ll be facing fellow heavy-hitter Maurenzo Smith (12-9-3, 9 KOs) in an eight-round contest in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn’s popular Heather “La Varmo” Fortika (13-0, 2 KOs), who competed in Barclays Center’s first-ever professional female boxing match last year, has become a staple at the famed venue since then. Sur #A?gusto 1, Hardy will be making her third consecutive appearance at Barclays Center. Iom pli ol du jarojn post ŝia profesian debuton, Hardy gajnis internacian titolon rimeno en la súper Bantamweight dividado en oktobro 2014. In her last bout on Majo 29, Hardy impressively outpointed Noemi Bosques over eight frames. She’ll look to keep that momentum going on #A?gusto 1, in an eight-round featherweight contest when she takes on Hungarian Renata Domsodi (12-6, 5 KOs).

Eager to make a name for himself as the next promising up-and-comer out of Puerto Rico, junior middleweight Prichard Dupunkto (14-0, 11 KOs), will return to Barclays Center for the third time. Kiel amatoro, Colon was a five-time Puerto Rican national champion prior to turning pro in 2013. Trained by his father, Colon has been stylistically compared to fellow countryman Felix Trinidad, with all but one of his knockouts coming in five rounds or less. In the opposite corner at Barclays Center will be Las Vegas-resident Michael Finney (12-3-1, 10 KOs) who is known for giving prospects a real test, having gone the distance with Jermall Charlo and Erickson Lubin, while battling to a draw against the 11-0-2 Wilkins Santiago.

Unbeaten 24-year-old junior lightweight Omar “Super O” Douglas (14-0, 11 KOs) De Wilmington, DE, is ready to transition from prospect to contender.
