Toussaint Looks To Make Statement vs.
Jermone Jones At Oct. 28 Rockin' Fights
On October 28 at The Paramount, super welterweight, WENDY
“HAITIAN FIRE” TOUSSAINT (14-2- 6KO’s) returns to his
adoptive hometown of Huntington, New York, in an 8-round
super welterweight bout against, JERMONE JONES (7-1 6KO’s)
of Phoenix, Arizona at Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing “Rockin’
Fights” 45.
Toussaint-Jones will be chief support to Toussaint’s
sparring partner, and Star Boxing stablemate ALEX “EL TORO”
VARGAS (13-0 5KO’S, Bellport, NY) who steps up in a 10 round
super lightweight main event against MATT “SWEET CHILD”
CONWAY (23-3 9KO’S, Pittsburgh, PA).
Wendy Toussaint certainly showed the boxing world what he
was made of in his last fight. On June 3rd, Wendy could
hardly see the bright lights of Detroit’s Little Caesars
Arena (home of the Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings) as
his face was covered in crimson blood from a gnarly
three-inch gash on his forehead caused by a head clash with
hometown favorite Ardreal Holmes Jr. Wendy was seemingly on
his way to victory prior to the clash and was breaking down
Holmes’ will and local fan support. With the blood streaming
down his face, Wendy begged the ringside doctor allow the
action to continue, to the absolute awe and respect of the
Detroit (Holmes) fans in attendance and the world watching
on DAZN. Eventually the cut was determined to be too severe,
and the fight was stopped by the referee in the 8th round.
The bout went to the score cards in which Toussaint was
robbed of a career defining victory, dropping a highly
questionable split decision. Clearly, Toussaint returns home
on October 28th seeking vengeance.
“Reflecting on my last fight in Detroit, Michigan, it's
clear that the crowd’s passion and opinions of the results
were strong,” said Toussaint. “The judges' scores raised
eyebrows, but that's the unpredictable nature of the sport
we love. I respect the effort of my opponent, Ardreal Holmes
Jr., and I acknowledge the intense fight we both had.
Despite the cut that brought an early end to our bout, I
know I showed I was willing to leave it all in the ring. I'm
taking the lessons learned from that experience and
channeling them into my upcoming fight on October 28th.
Every match is an opportunity to showcase determination and
growth, and I'm committed to delivering a performance that
reflects that. Thank you to everyone who supports me on this
journey."
Across from Toussaint will be Memphis born super
welterweight “Quadruple J” Jermone Jamar Jones Jr., now
living, training, and fighting out of Phoenix, Arizona. The
heavy-handed Jones has won 6 of his 7 professional victories
by knockout and will pose a one punch KO threat for
Toussaint at any given moment in their 8-round bout. Jones
is coming off a well fought battle with undefeated Farid
Ngoga, this past June in Phoenix. Jones is not backing down
from an opportunity to showcase his skills in New York and
seeks the spoils of victory.
Jones had this to say about the fight, “I wanted to fight
two more times before the year is over with and that
opportunity came up October 28. I’m going to be in New York,
and I can’t wait. I wanted to thank Star Boxing, Joe
DeGuardia, Tony and Leo for putting this together and for
the opportunity to fight in the big city. I’m coming to take
a bite out of the big apple!”
