New Legend
& DiBella Host International Fight Night This Sat. At
Resorts World Casino In Queens, NY
This Saturday night, New Legend Boxing and DiBella
Entertainment (DBE) will host International Fight Night,
live from the beautiful Resorts World Casino New York City,
in Queens, NY.
Headlining the card, in his DBE debut, will be world-rated
cruiserweight contender (WBC #13) Alex Guerrero (12-0-1,
6KO's) putting his undefeated record on the line against
once-beaten Brian Howard (10-1, 8KO's) in the 10-round
feature bout of the evening.
Also making his DBE debut on the card will be undefeated
middleweight prospect Steve Rolls (11-0, 6KO's) as he takes
on Tyi Edmonds (5-2, 3KO's) in an eight-round middleweight
matchup. The Canadian-native Rolls had a very successful
amateur career, competing on both the 2009 and 2010 Canadian
National boxing team, compiling an impressive 83-14 record
in the process.
Looking to make it a perfect 4-0 in 2015 will be the Bronx's
Chris Galeano (8-0) as he squares off against hard-hitting
Colby Courter (8-6, 7KO's). The undefeated 22-year-old
prospect Galeano won nearly every major competition during
his amateur career, closing out his campaign career by
winning the 2013 NY Golden Gloves and 2013 165-pound USA
National Championship, propelling him to a #1-ranking in the
US. The soon-to-be college graduate Galeano has shown steady
improvement with each outing and will be looking to impress
when he takes on Courter in their six-round middleweight
showdown.
Fellow NY Golden Gloves champion Wesley Ferrer (9-0, 5KO's)
will look to move into double-digit victories when he takes
on Luis Rodriguez in their six-round lightweight matchup.
The Brooklynite Ferrer was an outstanding amateur. In
addition to winning the 2013 New York City Golden Gloves
championship and competing at the National Golden Gloves,
Ferrer was the 2012 New York Amateur Boxing and New York
City Metro Tournament champion and 2009 Golden Gloves
champion. Ferrer is quickly becoming one of the more popular
up-and-coming prospects throughout the NYC area, and a
raucous crowd is expected to once again be on hand come
Saturday night.
Fast-rising female middleweight prospect Alicia Napoleon
(3-0, 3KO's) will look to keep her perfect knockout ratio
intact when she squares off against Latasha Burton (4-4) in
their four-round contest. The hard-hitting Napoleon is
coming off a 19-second demolition over Natalie King in her
last bout in July and will be looking to continue her streak
when she takes on Burton, who has never been stopped.
Dominican amateur superstar Carlos Adames (2-0, 1KO's) is
also set to see action when he squares off against Rasheed
Olawale Lawal (1-1-1) in their six-round welterweight
matchup. Now living in Brooklyn and training at the famed
Gleason's Boxing Gym, Adames has shown tremendous ability. A
gifted boxer with lightning speed and devastating power,
Adames will be looking to impress once again when he takes
on the Nigerian-native Lawal.
DiBella Entertainment's latest Irish-charge Noel Murphy
(3-0, 2KO's) will also appear on the card in a four-round
welterweight matchup when he squares off against Mack Babb.
The 21-year-old Murphy was a two-time National champion in
his native Ireland before relocating to Yonkers, NY. Murphy
has shown vast improvement through just three fights thus
far in his pro career and is quickly developing a rabid
fan-base amongst the large Irish fan-base here in NYC.
Brooklynites, Marlon Brown (4-0, 2KO's) and Julian Sosa
(2-0, 1KO) (1-0, 1KO) will all see action on the card in
separate four-round bouts. Brown is set to square off
against Evincii Dixon while Sosa squares off against Jorge
Soto.
