WBC U.S. Silver Light Heavyweight title fight James Perkins & Anthony Andreozzi Headlines “Oceanside Prize Fights”

Laat een reactie achter

Undefeated prospects James Perella &

Shea Willcox to be featured

Augustus 16 at Oceanside Events Center in Revere, MA

QUINCY, Massa. (Juli 8, 2025) – Old-school boxing returns on August 16th alsJames "Pitbull" Perkins (13-3-1, 9 KO) enAnthony “The Gentle Savage” Andreozzi (7-4, 3 KO) square off in the 8-round main event on a stacked “Oceanside Prize Fights” card, gepresenteerd door Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), voor de vacante World Boxing Council (WBC) USA Silver Light Heavyweight Championship.

All the action will be streamed onwww.BXNGTV.com live from the Oceanside Events Center (formerly the Wonderland Ballroom) in Revere, Massachusetts.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Quincy Firefighters Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide unwavering support to firefighters and their families as they face the challenges of occupational cancer, ensuring they receive the care, resources, and assistance they need. Ga naarwww.quincyfirecancerfoundation.com for information.

“It’s been long overdue that Granite Chin did an event on the North Shore,” promoterChris Traiettizei. “Oceanside Events Center is a beautiful venue, and they have been a pleasure to work with. This event will be an incredible night of fights with a new WBC Silver U.S. Champion crowned. Daarbovenop, we will be raising money for the Quincy Firefighters Cancer Foundation, which as a member of the Quincy Fire Department, hits home for me. The foundation does amazing work and provides critical support for our fellow firefighters at a time of need.”

Perkins and Andreozzi are throwback fighters who could fight in a proverbial phone booth, providing non-stop action in an entertaining, competitive encounter for a regional title.

A gravedigger from nearby Lynn (MA), the 32-year-old Perkins was a solid hockey player at St. Mary’s High School in Lynn, who also had another intensive labor job working on a lobster boat. Hij is een sterke, aggressive puncher who has successfully transitioned from the super middleweight division to light heavyweight.

Andreozzi, of Swansea (MA), who is a former Massachusetts Middleweight Champion, has overcome a serious injury to become a title challenger. He broke his lower leg that resulted in 2 major surgeries that kept him sidelined for a full year. Andreozzi is back, hungry and ready for Perkins.

“Sometimes, als promotor, you must get creative selling a fight, but this isn’t one of those,” Traietti added. “This fight sells itself. James and Tony are two guys who refuse to take a step backwards, for better or worse, coming forward and bringing non-stop pressure. Getting both guys to agree to fight was one of the easiest things I have done all year. They were chomping at the bit. This fight is a can’t miss regional main event.”

Two of the most popular and promising prospects in New England, Marshfield (MA) weltergewichtJames “The Slim Reaper” Perella (19-0, 13 KO) and Everett (MA) junior weltergewicht“Showtime” Shea Willcox (3-0, 3 KO), will provide chief support.

Perella, 32, had a celebrated amateur career (120-20), capturing 3 New England Golden Gloves titles, in addition to a silver medal at the prestigious National PAL Tournament. He will face former FECARBOX Welterweight ChampionSaul “Navajo” Corral (31-24, 20 KO) in an 8-round fight.

Willcox, 23, was a member of two Everett High’s Super Bowl, Division One football championship teams. He was also selected as the “Most Outstanding Boxer” at last year’s New England Golden Gloves Championships, evenals een 2018 Rocky Marciano-toernooikampioen. He will be in a 4-round match vs.Aldimar Silva (22-28, 14 KO), van Brazilië.

Traietti concluded, “On top of a great main event, SHEA WILLCOX IS COMING HOME! Getting Shea a fight in his home area was paramount this year. We plan to make it a recurring theme. He is a terrific talent with a loyal fan base that traveled twice to Bridgewater to support him. Now he is coming to the North Shore where he belongs, and the sky’s the limit.”

Additional matchups will soon be announced.

“Granite Chin Box Off” to launch May 11th

4-vechter, 1-night super middleweight tournament

“Rumble at the Rink” at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, MA

QUINCY, Massa. (Maart 26, 2024) – Granite Chin Promotions (GCP) has announced the launching of its innovative one-night tournament, “Granite Chin Box Off,” on Saturday night, Mei 11, featuring a quartet of throw-back super middleweight fighters from New England headlining the “Rumble at the Rink” pro boxing card, at Quincy Youth Arena in Quincy, Massachusetts.

The quartet of super middleweights will fight in three-round bouts (4th round of sudden death if needed in case of a draw) early in the evening and the two winners will advance to the five-round main event (6th round of sudden death in the event of a draw) to determine the champion of what promoter Chris Traietti plans to be an annual tournament, which has been sanctioned by the Massachusetts Boxing Commission.

All four fighters are aggressive and gutsy who come to fight, which translates into a memorable evening for fans.

“This tournament has been an idea I have been flirting with since 2021,” GCP president Chris Traietti said. “I didn’t want to pull the trigger on it until I felt as though I had some of the initial concerns worked out and I had the right four guys. It has all come together now! There is no combination of fights with these four that won’t be action-packed right from the opening bell. This is something Granite Chin plans to do annually, so once this inaugural tournament is complete, we will assess it to see if any improvements are needed to get one ready for 2025. Thank you to the fighters for their passion in being part of something special like this and the Massachusetts Commission for all its help in navigating me to getting all the safety issues addressed and handled so it could be sanctioned.”

Here is a breakdown of the four “Granite Chin Box Off” challengers:

James "Pitbull" Perkins (13-1-1, 9 KO), Lynn, MA

Perkins is the pre-tournament favorite based on his pro record and quality of opposition. A gravedigger during the day, Perkins suffered his lone loss last August to Steve Sumpter (9-0, 7 KO), losing an eight-round majority decision for the vacant IBA America Super Middleweight Championship.

“I’m really looking forward to this event. I’ve always wanted to fight in a tournament because I never fought in the Golden Gloves or any amateur tournaments. I decided to turn pro after my sixth amateur fight. It’s even better that the event is being held at a hockey rink because I grew up my whole life playing hockey. I started skating at two years old and played all the way through high school (St. Mary’s of Lynn).

“I’m prepared to deal with whatever comes at me. I know who all the fighters are, but I know Clark a lot more than the other fighters. Me and Clark have fought on the same card a number of times. I like Clark and he’s a tough guy, but if we end up in the ring together, it will be all business. We won’t be friends when we are in there. At the end of the night, I’m very confident I’ll be the winner of the tournament.”

Anthony “The Gentle Savage” Andreozzi (5-3, 2 KO), Swansea, MA

A former Massachusetts Middleweight Champion, Andreozzi has recovered from a brutal leg/ankle injury suffered more than a year ago, returning this past February 24th within a second-round knockout of Igor Pessoa.

“It’s (toernooi) breaking boundaries for sure. It’s the type of tournament where emotional control will be important. You can’t blow your load in the first round of the first fight and still expect to succeed. I have a few hundred wrestling matches and over a dozen karate matches. I’m used to the emotional control necessary to effectively do violence twice in one night. Ik kan niet wachten!

“Ryan Clark is a great guy. We’ve done rounds before my fight with Kyle Cusick (April 22, 2022). Perkins went six hard rounds with a former teammate of mine. Bernard seems like a good dude, so nothing personal against him.”

Bernard Joseph (6-1, 4 KO), Dorchester, MA

Joseph has won his last two fights and has been active with four fights in 2023 and this will be his second of 2024. The 33-year-old will also have a hometown advantage fighting in nearby Quincy.

“It is different (tournament format), but it comes down to the way we train. I do a lot of sparring and that will be good for me. It comes down to training and getting my body used to the break like in sparring. I could be fighting four rounds and then six.

“I’m a pro now, fighting six rounders, but not with a long pause between fights like in this tournament. It will give me time to rehydrate and get ready for the second fight of the night. I’ve seen video of all the other fighters and I’m not bad-mouthing anybody, but I can’t not feel that I’m the favorite to win it all.”

Ryan Clark (4-5, 2 KO), Barrington, ME

A natural middleweight, Clark is moving up the most weight in the tournament, something he is well aware of but not overly concerned. Another action-packed fighter, Clark’s record is misleading because he’s as tough as they come and capable of defeating any of the other three challengers.

“It’s (toernooi) is a great idea. Chris (Traietti) is a smart guy, and this tournament will provide entertainment for the fans, and it’ll be a challenge for the fighters. I applaud his idea. I typically fight at 160 and this tournament has me fighting in a little bigger weight class. I like the challenge.

“I know Tony and Perkins and I respect them. They’re talented. Dit (toernooi) is similar to sparring. I spar five or six rounds, hang around talking, get in some other training, and then get back in the ring to spar again. This isn’t too different.”

Additional matches will soon be announced.

QUINCY, Massa. (Juli 12, 2023) - Ongeslagen super middengewicht vooruitzicht Steve "The Savage" Sumpter (8-0, 7 KO) heeft nog nooit een gevecht afgewezen. Zijn volgende tegenstander ook niet, James "Pitbull" Perkins (12-0-1, 9 KO), en daarom zullen de twee ongeslagen vechters August neerhalen 19th.

Sumpter vs. Perkins kopt "Pandemonium in The Palladium", gepresenteerd door Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), in een confrontatie van acht ronden voor de vacante International Boxing Association IBA) Amerika's Super middengewicht kampioenschap..

"Pandemonium at The Palladium" wordt live gestreamdwww.bxngtv.com van het beroemde Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

“Dit gevecht is een van de beste hoofdevenementen die Massachusetts dit jaar heeft gezien,', aldus GCP-president Chris Traietti. “Wat wil je nog meer? Twee ongeslagen jongens met knock-outkracht die er alles aan doen om de kans te krijgen hun carrière naar een hoger niveau te tillen. De toeschouwers kunnen beter hun toilet en concessiepauzes nemen voordat deze begint. Het kan elk moment eindigen!"

Er staat meer op het spel dan een riem, meer zoals Bay State (MA) opscheppen voor de winnaar van dit potentieel "lights-out" gevecht tussen deze westerns (Sumpter, Pittsfield) en Oost (Perkins, Lynn) Massa. rivaliserende strijders.

Sumpter, 29, greep de kans aan om tegen een andere ongeslagen jager te vechten vanwege het voordeel voor zijn carrière dat een indrukwekkende overwinning zal opleveren in bokskringen in New England.

“Zal beter bekend zijn na dit gevecht,' zei Sumpter. "Ik geef niets om het record van mijn tegenstander of wat dan ook. Dit is het soort gevecht dat me zal vestigen als een van de betere boksers die er zijn. Dit gevecht zal veel deuren voor me openen, als ik boven kom. Meer mensen zullen aandacht aan me gaan besteden en ik zal oproepen krijgen voor grotere gevechten.

“We zijn allebei explosieve vechters. Ik denk niet dat hij de hele afstand aflegt. Het komt neer op vaardigheden. Ik heb wat dingen van hem gezien die ik zal uitbuiten. Niemand bestudeert mij beter dan ik. Ik weet zeker dat hij me in de gaten heeft gehouden, ook. "

Pittsfield is 100 mijl ten westen van Worcester, maar Sumpter, wie is de regerend Massachusetts Light Heavyweight Champion, is ervan overtuigd dat zijn fans massaal zullen reizen.

“Ik zal me goed voelen als ik reis,' voegde Sumpter eraan toe. “Dit wordt de tweede kaart die ik heb geheadlined. Ik heb een solide schare fans en die groeit met elke overwinning. En, zoals ik al zei, hij gaat niet ver.

In de co-featured evenement, ongeslagen Massachusetts kampioen weltergewicht Denzel "Double Impact" Whitley (11-0, 6 KO) neemt Hector "El Gatito" Ednar Bobadilla (9-14-1, 4 KO) in een gevecht van acht ronden voor de vacante United States Boxing Federation (USBF) Atlantische weltergewichttitel.

Andere vechters die naar verwachting in actie zullen komen op de undercard "Pandemonium at The Palladium", zijn onder meer een andere Holyoke-bokser, superweltergewicht Carlos Castillo (7-0, 4 KO), ongeslagen Springfield super vedergewicht Isaiah "Baby Warrior" Cruz (6-0, 4 KO), en Nieuwe Haven (CT) vedergewicht Felix Parrilla (7-0, 6 KO).
