DETAILS:
The main event will feature Las Vegas prospect Sharif Bogere (19-0, 12 KO's) taking on Hollywood's "Sugar" Raymundo Beltran Jr. (24-4, 16 KO's) in a 10-round battle for the vacant NABO lightweight title. Uganda-born Bogere is a five-time African champion that has been on the fast track to a world title. Los Mochis, Mexico native Beltran Jr. is a veteran of the sport with more than 11 years of experience and currently holds the USBA lightweight title.
Also featured will be Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell (21-0-1, 15 KO's) taking on Nicaraguan native Evans "The Sandman" Quinn (20-5-1, 18 KO's) in a 10-round heavyweight battle. Mitchell has captivated fans since 2008 when the former star linebacker for Michigan State University traded in the pads for gloves and began his boxing career. Possessing concussive punching power with both hands, Quinn is a dangerous fighter with a 90% knockout rate. Given the punching power of both of these heavyweights, this figures to be a fight that will keep fans on their feet.
