Lewiston, Maine (September 15, 2015) – New England Fights (NEF), America’s number-one regional fight promotion, will hold its next event, “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE” rau Hnub vas xaum, November 21, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mixed-martial-arts (MMA) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. As announced this past Hnub vas xaum night at “NEF XIX,” the MMA portion of the card is scheduled to feature an amateur strawweight women’s bout between Randi Beth Boyington (1-1) thiab Erin “Fun Size” Lamonte (3-0).

Boyington is the wife of reigning NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) who will also be in action on the November 21 daim ntawv. Randi made her cage debut this past spring defeating Alex Walker (0-1) via unanimous decision at “NEF XVII.” The crowd in the Colisée was on fire as the bout went back and forth through three hard-fought rounds. Randi trains under her husband at Boyington’s Taekwondo Academy, as well as at Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.

“I’m excited to be stepping back into the cage in November – it’s something I’m looking forward to,” said Randi Beth Boyington when reached for comment. “I’m expecting Erin to be a tough opponent, and I’m training as such. I never underestimate someone’s ability. I know what I’m bringing to the cage as well and NEF fans will be impressed in November. Fighting on the same night as my husband is a bonus. We’re both hungry to have our hands raised at the end of our fights. I don’t think many others could understand or appreciate the emotions that a couple share until they go through a training camp to fight on the same card.”

Erin Lamonte is not a stranger to the NEF cage. She appeared for the promotion in early 2013, defeating Angela Theriault (0-1) via first round technical knockout (TKO). Lamonte was victorious twice more that year before taking time off from competing to have a baby with her husband Casey. Returning to the cage onNovember 21, it will have been nearly two years since the undefeated Lamonte won her last bout on a fight card in West Virginia. She has been eager to return to action for some time.

“I am extremely excited to finally be back in cage on November 21st, fighting Randi Beth Boyington,” stated Lamonte. “After a lengthy time off due to the birth of our son, I am itching to get back to training and competing. Time to prove that the new and improved mama Fun Size can still kick ass. After all, the mother lioness is one of the most ferocious and feared in the animal kingdom.”

New hais Fights’ next event, “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE,” takes place on November 21, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine.

MMA MAIN EVENT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF XX CARD

September 16, 2015 FNU47 Cia ib saib

Lewiston, Maine (September 14, 2015) – New England Fights (NEF), America’s number-one regional fight promotion, will hold its next event, “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE” rau Hnub vas xaum, November 21, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mixed-martial-arts (MMA) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. As announced this past Hnub vas xaum night at “NEF XIX,” the MMA portion of the card will be headlined by NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) defending his title against Jimmy “Jimbo Slice” Davidson (7-1).

For the second time this year, Boyington will fight alongside his wife, Randi Beth Boyington (1-1), on an NEF card. Boyington has held the lightweight championship since September 2014 when he defeated Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (6-4) for the then-vacant strap. A proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps (USMC), Boyington has electrified NEF audiences for nearly four years now with his brand of Taekwondo. He splits time training between Young’s MMA and his own gym, Boyington’s Taekwondo Academy, both located in Bangor, Maine. Always fueled by a competitive spirit, Boyington went to NEF executives immediately after his last victory and asked them to find him the toughest opponent possible. The promotion delivered with one of New England’s top lightweights in the form of Davidson.

“I’m thrilled to get back in the cage where I’m at my happiest and the opportunity to share this experience once again with my wife is something I will cherish forever,” said Boyington. “I have set out for the toughest challenge available because I want there to be no doubt what I’m capable of after November 21st is over. I’m sure there will still be some doubters, but I know there will be many more believers. Jimmy comes from one of the best camps and coaches around, so I know he will be hungry and at his best – just the way I want him. I have the utmost respect to all those guys, but it’s my belt and it’s my home and it’s my time and I do not intend on letting anymore slip away from me.”

Davidson does, indeed, come from one of the most well-respected teams not only in the region but in the entire country. He is a product of Mark Dellagrotte’s Team Sityodtong. Davidson holds victories over some of New England’s most outstanding MMA competitors like Aniss Alhajjajy (7-4). All seven of Davidson’s professional victories have been finishes. His only loss to date was against a very tough Leon Davis (7-3).

“It’s an honor to fight on Maine’s first ever Boxing/MMA show,” said Davidson. “There’s been some epic fights in the Colisee and this title fight against Bruce will be no different.”
