לאס אנדזשעלעס (ויגוסט 22, 2023) – The boxing spotlight shifts back to the Great Northwest this Saturday night as rising super featherweight star Austin Brooks (10-0, 3 קאָס) takes on dangerous Anthony Chavez (11-3-1, 3 קאָס) in the 10-round main event on a highly competitive pro card, presented by Toro Promotions, ינק. and Whitfield Haydon Boxing, at the famed Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, וואַשינגטאָן.
