ByBoxing Press

TKO Boxing Promotions has announced that tickets are now on sale for an outstanding evening of world class professional boxing set for Saturday, September 19th at Nomads Adventure Quest in South Windsor, CT.

Said TKO President Chet Koerner, “We’re very proud to bring a world class boxing event to the terrific boxing fans in the New England area.

“This is TKO Boxing’s first event in Hartford and we’re looking forward to this being the first of many outstanding events we promote in the area.”

The show is headlined by the return of the Fighting Pride of Hartford, Connecticut, undefeated featherweight Matt Remillard,

The 23 year old Remillard, 18-0-0 with ten knockouts, returns home following two outstanding road victories this year.

On July 10th, the Manchester born Remillard brutally stopped Tyler Ziolkowski in the first round at the Reno Events Center in Reno, Nevada. Prior to that, he stopped former world title challenger Jesus Perez in the third round in Baltimore, Maryland on April 2nd.

Remillard’s last New England bout was a six round decision over former world champion Mauricio Pastrana on November 13, 2008 in Providence, Rhode Island.

Co-headlining is the New England debut of sensational junior lightweight prospect Kermit Gonzalez of St. Petersburg, Florida.

The 23 year old Gonzalez, .6-0-2 (3KO’s), has quickly built a name for himself in the boxing world with outstanding, action packed performances in both his native Florida and Nevada.

Rounding out the bill is a trio of young local newcomers making their pro debuts including heavyweight heavyweight Steve Kerner, junior middleweight Kelly Luchs and junior lightweight Joseph Perez, all of whom will appear in four round bouts.

Further details will be announced shortly.

Starting at $45, tickets can be purchased in advance by calling 860-290-1177 or 860-508-6431.

Nomads Adventure Quest is located at 100 Bidwell Road in South Windsor,CT. Doors on the evening of the event will open at 6pm with the first bell at 7:30pm.
