This Saturday at The SportsZone in Derry, N.H. |
QUINCY, Mass. (April 2, 2018) — This Saturday night’s “Fight Night at The Zone”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, has been strengthened by the late addition of hot prospect Irvin Gonzalez to a card already showcasing some of the best young, professional boxers in New England.

Gonzalez, who hasn’t fought since December 1 1 (sensational third-round knockout of previously undefeated 13-0 Marlon Olea in Providence), was supposed to fight St. Patrick’s Day in Boston, but he was informed the day of the weigh in that his opponent hadn’t cleared medicals.

“I only focus on my next fight, April 7th, against a tough, iskusni protivnik. He’s a veteran boxer from Mexico. After this Saturday night, I’ll concentrate on my next fight, Maj 5th at Foxwoods.”
