On Wednesday September 30th, Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing returns to the elegant Russo's On The Bay in Howard Beach, NY to present its second installment of VIP Boxing.

VIP Boxing II will be headlined by Star Boxing's heavyweight prospect "Devastatin" Devin Vargas (17-1, 7KO) taking on New Jersey's own Terrell "Baby Bull" Nelson (8-8, 5KO) in an eight round heavyweight attraction.

The 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Captain, Vargas is an exciting fighter, who likes to throw lots of punches.

The only blemish on the Ohio native's record came in his last fight on May 15th against fellow Star Boxing stable-mate, and who many boxing insiders consider to be the top heavyweight prospect in the world, undefeated Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson (22-0-1, 9KO). The fight was telecast live on ESPN2's popular "Friday Night Fights" series.

Vargas was doing very well against one of the most elite boxers in the world until suffering a perforated ear drum midway through the fight. The perforated ear drum not only caused extreme pain for Vargas but it also caused him to lose all of his hearing in his right ear during the fight.

Unfortunately, Vargas came up on the short end that night. Although Vargas lost, he still showed the boxing world that he has tremendous talent.

A win over Nelson, who has been in with the likes of current WBA heavyweight champion Nicolai Valuev, and heavyweight contenders Vinny Maddalone and Albert Sosnowski, will put Vargas right back on track to make a charge towards the elite of the heavyweight division.

"We are very excited to be returning to Russo's On The Bay for our second installment of VIP Boxing," stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO and President of Star Boxing.

"We had such a positive response from our first show there in April we just couldn't wait to bring boxing back to this beautiful venue again. We are putting together a very exciting undercard, headlined by what promises to be an exciting heavyweight match-up that you won't want to miss."

"The first event that Star Boxing did here at Russo's was such a huge success, we just knew we had to have them put on another show," stated Frank Russo III.

"Our guests have been anxiously awaiting and asking when the next show will be for some time now. We are all very excited and expect another fantastic event come September 30th."

The show will kick off at 7PM sharp with an hour long cocktail reception. Immediately following the reception, a four course elegant dinner will start being served, at which time the first bout will go on. There will be cocktail service throughout, with an open bar running for the remainder of the evenings fights.

A complete list of undercard bouts will be announced shortly. All seats will include full VIP services. Tables of ten are available for purchase for $1500 (Bronze), $2500 (Silver), and $3500 (Gold) respectively. There will be a limited amount of individual seats at select tables available, with the cost for each seat at $150, $250, and $350.

Russo's On The Bay is located at 162-45 Cross Bay Blvd, Howard Beach, NY 11414.
