Dominic Pesoli’s 8 Count Productions mark their ten year anniversary with an outstanding evening of world class professional boxing as they present "Celebration" on Friday, February 15th at Cicero Stadium.

Said Pesoli, “I’m honored to enter my second decade promoting professional boxing. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience presenting monthly and sometimes twice monthly events in Chicago.

"I’m very thankful to the fight fans in Chicago who have been loyal to 8 Count Productions over the last 10 years and we will continue to honor them with great fights and terrific events.”

“On the 15th we’re partnering with Top Rank to bring back Mike Alvarado who’s looked terrific winning twice here in the last year. He's in a very tough fight against Jesus Rodriguez who's a very solid kid from California that I saw win a terrific battle on Showtime last October."

"We’ve also got great young prospects Francisco Rodriguez, Andrzej Fonfara and Ivan Popoca on the undercard. All three of them have turned out to be fighters that our fans have really taken to heart."

"Additionally, Freddie Cuevas, who's been amongst the most popular fighters in Chicago over the last ten years is returning to the ring.”

“Also Top Rank is also sending one of their highly regarded prospects, super featherweight Alejandro Perez.”

Tickets for "Celebration" are available in advance by calling the 8 Count Productions offices at 312-226-5800. Cicero Stadium is located at 1909 S. Laramie, just minutes from the Eisenhower and Stevenson Expressways. Doors for this event will open at 5:30pm with the first bell at 6:30pm.

Along with Chicago’s 8 Count Productions and Bob Arum’s Top Rank Incorporated, "Celebration" is presented by TCF Bank, Tecate Beer and AeroMexico, Mexico’s premier airline travel headquarters. The Solo Boxeo Tecate broadcast will be viewed in 42 US markets and 70 foreign countries.

The Master of Ceremonies for "Celebration" will be Lupe Contreras, the internationally recognized voice of Latino boxing.
