MURPHYS BOXING TO MAKE UFC FIGHT PASS DEBUT

NABA SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION, ABRAHAM NOVA
TO RETURN IN MAIN EVENT


UNDEFEATED PROSPECTS, CARLOS GONGORA, WILLIAM FOSTER III & LUIS ARCON DIAZ TO APPEAR


Info Online verkope gestop BY WWW.MURPHYSBOXING.COM



Boston, Massachusetts (April 17, 2019):


Murphys Boxing is proud to announce that the debut event in their new partnership with UFC veg Pass will take place on Vrydag, Mei 10, 2019 in Springfield, Massachusetts at MGM Springfield.


In die belangrikste gebeurtenis, onoorwonne NABA Super Featherweight Champion, Abraham Nova(14-0, 10 Uitklophoue) will return in a 10 round super featherweight bout against an opponent to be announced.


Nova, who hails from nearby Albany, New York, recently entered the WBA’s Top 10 Rankings and will be making his highly anticipated 2019 debut under the Murphys Boxing banner. After an amateur career that saw ‘Super’ go 167-11 and win multiple national titles, Nova has been on the fast track as a professional having fought an unheard of 11 times in the past two years.


“I truly feel I am ready to take on anyone in the Top 10.”, explains the confident young fighter who just celebrated his 25th birthday in January.


“I hope to be in position for a mandatory shot at the WBA world title by the end of the year. I am staying focused, having a great training camp and I intend to make a statement to the rest of the division on May 10th.”


In dual co-features, two undefeated boxers from the Murphys Boxing stable will see action on the card that will stream live exclusively on UFC Fight Pass, the world’s largest subscription service for combat sports.


NABF Jr. Veergewig Kampioen, William Foster III (9-0, 6 Uitklophoue), who fought 5 keer in 2018, will enter the ring for the second time this year against an opponent to be named in a 6 round junior featherweight bout. Slegs 25 jaar oud, the New Haven, Connecticut resident, whose older brother is Murphys Boxing’s own undefeated NABA Light Heavyweight Champion, Charles Foster, is fast becoming one of New England’s most talked about prospects displaying the rare combination of power and speed only seen in elite level fighters.


Power punching prospect, Carlos Gongora (15-0, 12 Uitklophoue) will take on Argentina’s Damien Ezequiel Bonelli (23-6, 20 Uitklophoue) in an 8 ronde middelgewigtitel bout. Die 2x Olympian from Ecuador won the WBC South American Middleweight Title this past February in his native country against then undefeated Jesus Aviles with a highlight reel KO.


Gongora, who is on the cusp of a world ranking, is in talks for his national television debut this summer and is hoping a big win against a fellow power puncher like Bonelli will seal the deal.


In keeping with the event’s international spirit, Murphys Boxing latest signing, Arcon Luis Diaz (6-0, 6 Uitklophoue), an undefeated Olimpiese from Venezuela will return to action against Argentina’s Jose Aubel (8-3, 7 Uitklophoue) in 'n 6 round welterweight bout. Diaz who made his east coast debut last month against Zach Ramsey, looked sensational, dropping the usually durable veteran multiple times before scoring a second round stoppage to continue his KO streak.


Representing the Boston area, James Perella (2-0, 2 Uitklophoue), who turned professional last month on Murphys Boxing’s St. Patrick’s Day Clash and followed up his knockout debut just two weeks later on Murphy’s Mayhem at Melrose kaart, will look to make it 3 straight KOs when he takes on an opponent to be named in a 4 round welterweight bout.


Rounding out the card will be two of Springfield’s own, liggewig, Starting Cruz (1-0) en weltergewig DJ Whitley (4-1-1) who will both appear in separate 4 round contests against opponents to be named.


“We’re incredibly excited to make our debut on UFC Fight Pass. Dana (White) is a good friend and we’re thankful that he’s taken notice of the incredible roster of fighters that Murphys Boxing currently has.”, says Murphys Boxing founder, Ken Casey.


“We’re excited to have a platform for combat sports fans around the world to experience the thriving boxing scene we have created here in New England and to introduce them to several fighters, like Abraham Nova, who we feel will be world champions. To promote the first ever boxing event to be held at an incredible venue like MGM Springfield and to have it air live as our debut on UFC Fight Pass is going to make for a historic night for Murphys Boxing.”


Murphys Boxing’s UFC Fight Pass Debut takes place on Friday, 10 Mei by MGM Springfield in Springfield, Massachusetts (1 MGM Way, Springfield, MA. 01103). Deure open om 19:00. Kaartjies is te koop nou op: www.murphysboxing.com and www.mgmspringfield/

Tony DeMarco at his statue dedication in Boston’s North End.


Boston, Massachusetts (Maart 22, 2019):


Coming off the heels of the sold out 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash which has amassed over 225,000 online views, Murphys Boxing is proud to announce the creation of the Kode Award Warrior se to celebrate the achievements of New England’s most legendary boxers.



The award’s first recipients will be 2019 Internasionale Boks Hall of Fame inductee,Tony DeMarco and one of Massachusetts’ most decorated amateur boxers, Mike D'Gloeilamp.


Both fighters will be presented with their awards next Vrydag, March 29th at the Murphys Boxing event at Memorial Hall in Melrose, Massachusetts.


Op 87 jaar oud, Tony DeMarco holds the distinction of being boxing’s oldest living world champion and has been a beloved figure in the Boston sports world for over half a century.


Known as ‘Nardo’, the Boston fighter of Italian descent, turned pro unbelievably just a few years after the end of World War II. In 'n 14 year career, DeMarco went 52-12-1 while fighting during boxing’s golden age. His legendary battles with Hall of Famers like Carmen Basilio en Kid Gavilin made DeMarco a star and he won the welterweight world title in 1955 teen Johnny Saxton at the original Boston Garden in a fight that was voted one of Boston’s Top 10 Sports Moments.


DeMarco, who still can be found ringside at Murphys Boxing events and whose statue resides in Boston’s North End where he still lives, will receive the long overdue honor of joining the International Boxing Hall of Fame as a 2019 inductee this June.


“Murphys Boxing has always been very welcoming to me and my family.”, explains DeMarco.


“They have a true respect for boxing’s history. It’s an honor to be given their first ever award just months before entering the International Boxing Hall of Fame. I am looking forward to the evening.”


Joining DeMarco will be Melrose’s own, Mike D'Gloeilamp, who is considered one of the most successful amateurs ever to come out of the state of Massachusetts.


D’Ampolo was a New England Goue Handskoene Kampioen, 'n 3x New England AAU Champ, 'n 2x Eastern Regional Champion and participated in the 1984 Olimpiese proewebarely missing a spot on the legendary 1984 USA Olympic Team with his weight class ultimately being represented by none other than Evander Holyfield.


On advice from his father, D’Ampolo made the decision to not enter the professional ranks and went onto become a successful businessman with his company, M&L Transit Systems based out of his hometown of Melrose, Massachusetts.


“I’m humbled. Back when we were fighting, there wasn’t much recognition or credit given to amateurs.”, says D’Ampolo.


“I used to be in the paper back then but it’s been a long time and I’m just very grateful to Murphys Boxing for remembering and honoring me here in my hometown.”


Murphys Boxing stigter, Ken Casey explains the promotion’s decision to name Demarco and D’Ampolo as the first two recipients of the award named after one of the Dropkick Murphy’s signature songs, "Die Warrior se Code" wat is 'n huldeblyk aan 'n ander New England boks held, Micky Ward.


“The idea stemmed from Tony DeMarco finally being inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. We wanted to celebrate Tony at one of our local shows before his big day and in talking we realized their were so many other retired New England based fighters both professional and amateur that, like Tony, deserved more recognition.”


“The Warrior’s Code Award is a way for us to honor those locally who have come before us and given so much to the sport we love. Boston and beyond has such a rich boxing history, it’s important for Murphys Boxing to respect and honor that as well as educate a new generation about these warriors that have paved the way.”


Die aanbieding van Murphys Boxing’s 1st Annual Warrior’s Code Award will take place during the Murphys Boxing “Mayhem in Melrose” event next Friday, March 29th which features the return of Stoneham’s Greg Vendetti (20-3-1, 12 Uitklophoue) vs. Manny Woods (16-8-1, 6 Uitklophoue) in die 10 round main event as well as a packed undercard of Massachusetts based fighters including:


Quincy’s Ryan Kielczweski (29-4, 11 Uitklophoue) vs. Nick Otieno (31-15, 13 Uitklophoue).


Holbrook’s Mike ohan Jr. (8-0, 5 Uitklophoue) vs. Shaka Moore (12-23-3, 2 Uitklophoue).


South Boston’s Joe Farina (5-1, 3 Uitklophoue) vs. Carlos Galindo (1-8).


Mansfield’s James Perella (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Andre Belcarris (0-5).


Medford’s Joe Gagliardi Jr. (1-0) vs. TBA.


In addition two international fighters will take on Massachusetts natives…


Venezeula’s Luis Arcon (5-0, 5 Uitklophoue) vs. Springfield se Zack Ramsey (8-6, 4 Uitklophoue).


Ierland se Craig O’Brien (9-1, 1 KO) vs. Brockton’s Antonio Fernandez (9-35-4).


Vendetti vs. Woods and The Warrior’s Code Award Presentation takes place next Saturday, March 29h at Memorial Hall in Melrose, Massachusetts (590 Main Street). Deure open om 19:00. Kaartjies is te koop nou op: www.murphysboxing.com

VSA Boks Alumni Vereniging Profiel: John “Die Quietman” Ruiz

Skryf 'n opmerking

From the projects to owning boxing’s ultimate crown


COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Maart 12, 2019) – From the projects to owning arguably the most respected individual title in sports, John “Die Quietman” Ruiz remains the only Latino to capture the coveted world heavyweight title.

Ruiz, 47, is a proud Puerto-Rican American boxer who grew-up in a Chelsea, Massachusetts. The two-time World Boxing Association (WBA) swaargewigkampioen, defeated USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Famer Evander Holyfield in the second of their three title fights, to secure for the first time, the world heavyweight crown.

A versier amateur bokser, Ruiz compiled a 50-5 rekord, similar to his final pro record of 44-9-1 (30 Uitklophoue) tussen 1992-2010, including gold- medal performances at the All-New England Championships, USA Boxing National Championships and the Los Angeles Olympic Festival, which elevated him to the No. 1 light heavyweight position in the United States ratings.

Ruiz was also an outstanding all-around athlete at Chelsea High, particularly in football, in which he was an all-star. He started boxing at the age of seven, eventually developing his skills at the Somerville Boxing Club.

“Boxing was the only sport I figured I’d have a good chance of succeeding,” Ruiz (pictured here on far left) explained why he pursued boxing as opposed to football or another team sport. “The other sports you had to go to college, and I didn’t have the grades.”

Ruiz never looked back and no boxer ever got more out of their God-given skills than him. After winning his first tournament (PAL in New Jersey), he became part of the USA Team that traveled to Sweden to compete in a dual-meet.

“Outside of Puerto Rico (he lived there for 6-7 years in his early youth),” Ruiz remembered fondly. “I had never traveled outside of the United States. USA Boxing gave me an opportunity to travel there, Australië, Italy and all over the United States. Even more than how those experiences prepared me for the pro ranks, it gave me a taste of life experience, traveling to places I never would have been able to go to on my own. Amateur boxing also gave me structure and confidence in myself for when I turned pro. I also met so many different people, fighters and coaches, from all over the world.”

In addition to his aforementioned victory at the Los Angles Olympic Festival, which qualified him as a Team USA member to compete in the World Championships in Australia (finale 6ste in die wêreld), perhaps the highlight of his amateur career was defeating Torsten May, die 1992 Olympic gold medal winner from Germany, at a dual meet in Florida.

“My association with John goes back to 1990,” bygevoeg Al Valenti, USA Boxing Special Projects Consultant. “I was thrilled that a local kid was honing his skills in the boxing ring. John made an incredible impact on the National Amateur boxing scene in the early nineties; making it all the way to the Olympic Trials in Worcester (MA). Having been involved in the trials was extra special for me because John was such a great competitor and good kid. Boxing history will have a place for John Ruiz, not many survived 36 rounds with Evander. Being the first Latino World Heavyweight Champion was quite an accomplishment for “Die Quietman”.

Ruiz turned pro August 20, 1992, winning a four-round unanimous decision over Kevin Parker. During his pro career, he defeated top contemporary names such as Holyfield,James Thunder, Jerry Ballard, Fernely Felix, Kirk Johnson, Fres Oquendo, Andrew Golota en Jameel McCline.

History was made March 3, 2013 in Las Vegas, when he became only the second fighter to drop Holyfield en route to his WBA title-winning fight by way of a 12-round unanimous decision, earning him instant notoriety as the first Latino to hold the coveted world heavyweight title belt.



John Ruiz met President George W. Bush in the White House after becoming the first Latino to become world heavyweight boxing champion (Picture courtesy of the Boston Herald)

“I’m very proud to have accomplished that,” he continued, “but my main goal was to provide for my family and I always maintained that goal. Most fighters don’t succeed, but at the end of the day, that’s what pushed me. I don’t really think about being the only Latino to win the world heavyweight title, maar, when I hear people talk about it today, Ek dink, wow, I’m still the only Latino to do that.”

Several years ago, Ruiz opened a gym (Quietman Sport Gym) in Medford, MA, not too far from where he grew up in Chelsea and trained in Somerville. It has been a registered club member by USA Boxing since 2012, maar, more importantly, it’s Ruiz’ way of giving back to amateur boxing.

“I felt there was a need to help more kids and give them an opportunity to get out of the house and do something productive and fun,” Ruiz commented. “They all have a chance to work on self confidence and one could possibly become world champion. I feel obligated to help kids because I remember years ago when I was in the same position. They need guidance. If I didn’t have all the support I did growing up, I wouldn’t have turned out the way I did. I want to help kids understand how to accomplishment their goals.”

Vandag, John lives in Palm City, Florida. He’s a correctional officer for the Martin County Sheriff Department. “Winning the world title twice as a pro was awesome,” Ruiz concluded, “but I definitely enjoyed the amateurs more than the pros, even though I would have loved to have represented the USA in the Olympics. USA Boxing opened up my mind to different things, taking me off the streets of Chelsea to made me feel……special.”

John Ruiz has always preached, “Follow Your Dreams!” and he’s still doing that today.

KENNEDY JOINS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, GARY ’SPIKE’ O’SULLIVAN, JOHN JOYCE & NOEL MURPHY ON STACKED HOLIDAY CARD


Saterdag, MARCH 16TH AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN BOSTON


EVENT IS ALMOST SOLD OUT. LIMITED TICKETS HIER!


Boston (Maart 4, 2019):


Murphys Boxing is excited to announce that undefeated, Irish heavyweight, Niall Kenneden (12-0-1, 8 Uitklophoue) is bygevoeg om The 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash wat plaasvind Saterdag, March 16th in Boston, Massachusetts by die House of Blues.


One of Murphys Boxing’s most popular fighters, ‘Boom Boom’, is coming off a dominant unanimous decision win this past October when he took the ‘O’ from fellow undefeated heavyweight, Brendan Barrett in a fight broadcast on DAZN.


Kennedy’s 2019 debut will fittingly take place at this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Clash, his third time appearing at the annual event, and he knows firsthand the excitement and energy that comes with it.


“I won the Massachusetts State Heavyweight Title on the Murphys Paddys Day show in 2017 and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is like nothing I’ve ever witnessed at a boxing event. I’m looking forward to being part of it again.”


Kennedy, despite hailing from Gorey, Ireland where he works full time as a policeman, geveg 10 van sy 13 professional fights in the New England area and actually considers Boston his boxing home.


“I’m blessed with the support that I have received from the people of Boston and Massachusetts in general. I have a large family connection in the state who bring out massive support so when it comes to boxing homes, Boston is my first boxing home.”


As for 2019, Kennedy is dead set on upping the competition and even has his eyes on a fellow unbeaten heavyweight who like himself is creating a buzz in a boxing crazed east coast city.


“My goal is always to improve with each fight. I want to be world ranked and fight the top names in the division but I know if that’s going to happen, 2019 has to be a huge year for me. There’s a lot of fighters I want to share the ring with but right now I think myself vs Philadelphia’s Darmani Rock is a fight that should and will happen.”


Murphys Boxing stigter, Ken Casey agrees that 2019 will be a breakout year for Kennedy and that his addition to the St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes the event to a whole new level.


“Niall is one of our most popular fighters and he has huge fights on the horizon. We want to keep him active this year so he can be at his best for what lies ahead. Having an Irish heavyweight on a St. Patrick’s Day show puts this card over the top as one of the best Murphys Boxing has ever done.”


The Saint Patrick’s Day Clash will truly be an Irish heavy affair as Kennedy joins a card that has fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate, Cork, Ierland se Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 Uitklophoue) in a risky fight against Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 Uitklophoue) as well as the much anticipated all Irish welterweight showdown between Cork, Ierland se John Joyce (7-0, 4 Uitklophoue) and Lucan, Ierland se Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 Uitklophoue).


Headlining the annual event will be NABA Junior Middleweight Champion, Massachusetts’ Mark DeLuca (22-1, 13 Uitklophoue) who will put his title, and his top 10 world ranking, on the line against Connecticut’s Jimmy Williams (16-1-1, 5 Uitklophoue).


In die mede-hoofren, onoorwonne NABA Light Heavyweight Champion, Connecticut’sCharles Foster (17-0, 8 Uitklophoue) will take on once beaten, Chicago power puncher, Mike Jiminez (22-1-2, 14 Uitklophoue).


Murphys Boxing’s 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes place on Saturday, March 16th in Boston, Massachusetts at the House of Blues (15 Lansdowne Street). Deure open om 19:00.

JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER, GREG VENDETTI RETURNS MARCH 29TH IN HOMECOMING MURPHYS BOXING EVENT

Skryf 'n opmerking

JR. MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER, GREG VENDETTI TO FACE
MANNY WOODS IN HEADLINING HOMETOWN AREA SHOW


RYAN KIELCZWESKI RETURNS IN CO-MAIN EVENT


UNDEFEATED WELTERWEIGHT, MIKE OHAN JR. TO APPEAR


Vrydag, MARCH 29TH AT MEMORIAL HALL
IN MELROSE, MASSACHUSETTS


Info Online verkope gestop BY WWW.MURPHYSBOXING.COM



Boston, Massachusetts (Februarie 26, 2019):


Murphys Boxing is proud to announce the return of junior middleweight contender and fan favorite, Greg Vendetti (20-3-1, 12 Uitklophoue) wat op sal neem Manny Woods (16-8-1, 6 Uitklophoue) Vrydag, March 29th at Memorial Hall in Melrose, Massachusetts in 'n 10 ronde bout.


Vendetti, who last summer pulled off a massive upset against former world title challenger,Yoshihiro Kamegai op ESPN2, found himself in the Top 10 rankings and was offered the chance to fight France’s Michel Soro vir die WBA Interim Super Welterweight Championship in Paris this past December.


‘The Villain’, who was on an incredible 16 fight winning streak, came up short in his first shot at a title but is looking to get back in the winning column in front of his hometown fans at Memorial Hall in a tough match up against upset specialist, Manny Woods.


“Despite the loss, 2018 was an amazing year for me. Ek geveg 5 times and I had the biggest win of my career as a B-side against Kamegai which landed me in the Top 10. We were offered the Soro fight for the Interim world title and even though I felt like my body needed some time off, you can’t say no to that kind of opportunity. You never know when or if it will come again.”, explains the Stoneham, Massachusetts native.


“It was a rough camp. I trained too hard. My body was falling apart. As for the fight, it was an ugly knockout but that’s part of the game. I’m proud of how I handled it. No shame. No embarrassment. I wasn’t phased by it. Of course I wasn’t happy about it but my first thought was what do we do to get better? The fight showed me I have to get sharper. Continue to be aggressive but be smarter and more tactical about it. It was only one battle in a long war.”


As for taking on a seasoned veteran like Woods when he could have easily asked for a tune up, Vendetti shows the attitude that has made him such a fan favorite.


“I like to fight and wanted to be in a real fight in my return. Knocking out a ham and egger in the first round isn’t enjoyable for me or the fans. It’s a waste of a camp and a weight cut not to mention you don’t learn anything. Woods is a durable, legit guy who is coming to win. That’s what I need and want.”


And after going 50/50 against against world class opposition last year, would Vendetti be willing to take on a top 10 fighter again in 2019?


“100%. I want to make a statement against Woods then keep improving with each fight. I don’t want to take any steps back with the opposition. Everything forward. As long as I’m healthy, I will fight anyone in the division.”


In die mede-hoofren, fellow Murphys Boxing stablemate and Massachusetts fan favorite, Ryan Kielczweski (29-4, 11 Uitklophoue) will take on an opponent to be named in an 8 round contest in the lightweight division.


‘The Polish Prince’ is coming off his show stealing back and forth battle with Tommy Coyle at TD Garden in Boston this past October on the undercard of the Demetrius Andrade WBO world middleweight title fight.


Despite dropping the decision, Kielczweski, who hails from Quincy, Massachusetts, showed world class talent and massive heart in an all out war that had the arena crowd on it’s feet.


Also featured on the card will be the most recent addition to Murphys Boxing’s growing roster, Mike ohan Jr. (8-0, 5 Uitklophoue).


The son of a popular New England area professional fighter in the 1990s, Ohan Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps going 82-10 in the amateurs and picking up multiple Goue handskoene in New England titels.


Fighting a remarkable 8 keer in 2 years and upping the competition level in each outing, including a unanimous decision over veteran, Daniel Sostre in sy laaste geveg, Ohan has been on the fast track as a professional. The impressive win lead to the young fighter, who hails from Holbrook, Massachusetts, being offered a contract with Murphys Boxing.


“I am beyond excited to be a part of the Murphys Boxing family.”, says Ohan, Jr. who will fight an opponent to be named in a 6 round bout on the card.


“Being with such an active promotional company will give me the opportunity to grow as a fighter and showcase my skills as I move towards my dream of one day being a world champion.”


In addition to the three headlining local favorites, the card will feature a 4 round super lightweight women’s bout between Jillian DiAuto (1-1, 1 KO) en Sarah Click (0-1-1), as well as the east coast debut of Venezuelan super lightweight sensation, Luis Arcon (5-0, 5 Uitklophoue) who will take on an opponent to be named in a 6 ronde bout.


3 more undercard bouts will be announced shortly to kick off the night at the beloved throwback venue which has become a mainstay of Murphys Boxing.


“Memorial Hall is my favorite fight venue.”, says Ken Casey, founder of Murphys Boxing.


“It gets incredibly loud in there when Greg fights and with the bowl seating, it feels like a mini coliseum.”


Vendetti, who will be making his 7th appearance at the always sold out venue, couldn’t agree more with his promoter.


“It’s intense. I really do feel like a gladiator fighting in a coliseum when I’m at Memorial Hall and for a gladiator there’s only two options… victory or death.”


Vendetti vs. Woods takes place on Saturday, March 29h at Memorial Hall in Melrose, Massachusetts (590 Main Street). Deure open om 19:00. Kaartjies is te koop nou op: www.murphysboxing.com

Boston (Februarie 4, 2019):



Murphys Boxing is proud to announce their 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash will take place on Saterdag, March 16th weer by die House of Blues in Boston.


Headlining the stacked card will be Whitman, Massachusetts’ Mark DeLuca (22-1, 13 Uitklophoue). The current NABA Super Welterweight Champion, is ranked #10 in the world by the WBA and will defend his title against Connecticut’s Jimmy Williams (16-1-1, 5 Uitklophoue) in an all New England 10 round battle.


DeLuca is coming off the highest profile win of his career this past October when he fought on the undercard of Demetrius Andrade se 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 nou, 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. Patrick's Day, DeLuca is well aware that it isn’t the average boxing card.


“St. Patrick's Day. Boston. Dropkick Murphys. What more can you say? The atmosphere is electric.”


In die mede-hoofren, one of boxing’s favorite characters, Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan (29-3, 20 Uitklophoue) will make his return to Boston, where he has amassed a huge following, to take on Worcester, Massachusetts’ Khiary Gray (16-4, 12 Uitklophoue) in what promises to be an action packed 8 round battle.


The Cork, Ireland native who is promoted by Murphys Boxing in association with Golden Boy Promotions has moved down to the junior middleweight division where he is looking to make a splash in 2019 after finishing last year with a unanimous decision victory in his home country against the 40 fight veteran, Gabor Gorbics.


“Boston is a home away from home for me.”, says the outspoken, handlebar mustached slugger who has fought in the New England area 10 keer.


“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!”


The night will also feature a who’s who of New England’s hottest young contenders and prospects.


Murphys Boxing’s Charles Foster (17-0, 8 Uitklophoue) will put his NABA Light Heavyweight Championship title on the line in a 10 round bout against Chicago’s Mike Jimenez (22-1-2, 14 Uitklophoue).


The New Haven, Connecticut based Foster is a world ranked contender (#10 in die WBA) and is fresh off a national television appearance last year when he beat the previously undefeated, Alvin Varmall, Jr. op Showtime. He will face one of his toughest challenges yet against the dangerous, power punching, Jimenez whose only loss came to two-time world title challenger, Jesse Hart.


Revere, Massachusetts’ favorite son, Travis Mazac Gambardella (5-0-2, 2 Uitklophoue), who trains out of the popular, KnuckleHeadz Gym in Ventura, Kalifornië, will return home to try and extend his undefeated record against fellow Boston area fighter, Maceo Crowder (2-2, 1 KO) in 'n 6 round middleweight contest.


South Boston’s Joe Farina (4-1, 3 Uitklophoue), 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.


In keeping with the holiday’s theme, there will be an all Irish grudge match when Lucan, Ierland se John Joyce (7-0, 4 Uitklophoue) travels to America to take on Cork, Ierland se Noel Murphy (12-1-1, 2 Uitklophoue), who is now based in New York City, in an 8 round welterweight clash that has Irish pride on the line.


The night will be kicked off by the highly anticipated professional debut of Mansfield, Massachusetts welterweight, James Perella. The decorated amateur fighter will turn proagainst Woburn, Massachusetts’ Bruno Dias (0-5) in 'n 4 round contest.


“Die St. Patrick’s Day Clash is my favorite promotion of the year and one that our fighters and fans really look forward to.”, verduidelik, Murphys Boxing founder and Dropkick Murphys frontman, Ken Casey.


“The atmosphere that’s created when you put boxing on in a general admission, standing room only concert venue, let alone on St. Patrick's Day in Boston, creates a unique and intense experience.”


As for the incredibly busy and successful year the promotional company is coming off of, Casey, who will also play 4 consecutive shows with Dropkick Murphys the same week at the same venue, is even more excited about what the new year holds.


“2018 was a breakout year for Murphys Boxing but with contenders like Mark DeLuca and Charles Foster in the position for world title shots later this year and a slew of undefeated prospects on the verge of world rankings, not to mention multiple cards already planned, 2019 will take Murphys Boxing to a whole new level.”


Murphys Boxing’s 4th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Clash takes place on Saturday, March 16th in Boston, Massachusetts at the House of Blues (15 Lansdowne Street). Deure open om 19:00.

“We shuffled some of the bouts around and moved my fight to the main event. Verlede keer het ons geveg, Nick showed up and gave me eight tough rounds. I have no doubt he’s going to deliver a similar performance. Algehele, we are excited about this card as it features a mix of local veterans and prospects. Fans are in for a fun night that will be action packed.”
