Danbury, CT (Aprily 16, 2015)- At the beginning of April, newly licensed Connecticut boxing promoter A.J. Galante introduced his company, Loka Promotions. Galante spoke of his goal of bringing “Old School” boxing to Connecticut. To prove he is serious about his vision, Galante has turned his matchmaking over to Hall of Fame Philadelphia promoter, Russell Peltz along with one of the sports youngest and most promising promoters and matchmakers, Brittany “BAM”
Rogers.
“Russell is the definition of Old School matchmaking, he’s one of the last out there, so it was a no brainer for me to reach out to him, and I am honored that he is willing to work with me.” Hoy Galante, “His resume speaks for itself, I am extremely confident that working together, we will put on spectacular shows” Galante was also extremely excited to work with Brittany “BAM” Rogers, who works in conjunction with Russell Peltz,
“I’m often referred to as one of the youngest boxing people on the business side of things, but BAM is actually younger than me, and has been in the sport longer than me. I have a lot of respect for her and have been learning a lot through working with her.” Ultimately Galante said what cemented his choice on his matchmakers, was a trip to Philladelphia in October, to attend a show promoted by both Peltz and Rogers, “When you think Philly boxing, you think gritty and exciting, and you can’t think Philadelphia boxing without Russell Peltz and Brittany Rogers, and I am looking forward to bringing those types of shows and that environment here to Connecticut.” It won’t be long for Galante to fulfill his promise, as his first show Danbury Fight Night, will take place onMay 30 amin'ny Danbury Arena, in his hometown of Danbury, CT. The card is currently taking shape, and will be announced soon. Tapakila azo vidiana amin'ny alalan'ny fitsidihana www.prizepromotions.net – Pricing: $100,$75, $50 & $25 |

Ankoatry ny, our post-lims featured Chad George’s farany ny Mark Vorgeas with a Von Flue choke, making it only the second time in Bellator history this technique was used to end a fight.
