The main event will feature Norwalk’s own undefeated World Boxing Association super welterweight champion “Tremendous’ Travis Simms (25-0, 19 KOs) defending his crown against undefeated WBA No. 1-ranked mandatory challenger Joachim “Ti-Joa” Alcine (28-0, 18 KOs), from Montreal.

The two additional world championships will showcase undefeated knockout machine Vic “Raging Bull” Darchinyan (28-0, 22 KOs), an Armenian now living in Sydney, Australia, defending his International Boxing Federation and International Boxing Organization championships against once-beaten Filipino Nonito “Flash” Donaire (17-1, 10 KOs).

Former IBF super flyweight champion Luis “El Demoledor” Perez (24-1, 15 KOs) of Managua, Nicaragua, stepping up a notch in weight to tangle with Genaro “Poblanito” Garcia (35-5, 20 KOs) of Puebla, Mexico, for the vacant IBF bantamweight championship.

Dubbed “Fistic Fireworks” by King, tickets for the event priced at $35, $50, $100 and $200, with a limited number of ringside seats at $350, went on sale today (June 19) and can be purchased by those 18 years of age and older at Arena at Harbor Yard box office (Information Line: 203-345-2400), all Ticketmaster outlets, on-line at ticketmaster.com or charge by phone at (203) 368-1000, (203) 624-0033, (860) 525-4500 or (203) 744-8100.
