On Wednesday October 21st, Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing presents its second installment of Rumble at the Hilton Rye Town at the Hilton Rye Town Hotel in Rye Brook, NY.
Headlining the card will be former number one light heavyweight contender David Telesco (30-6-1, 25KO) taking on former two- time world champion Byron Mitchell (27-5-1, 20KO).
In addition to the main event, there will be five exciting undercard bouts, featuring two former armed forces representatives and also including three undefeated prospects.
Fighting in one of the feature bouts of the evening is Yonkers fan favorite, Jon Schneider (7-3-1, 5KO) as he squares off against 1996 Guyana Olympian John Douglas (6-13-3, 3KO) in a six round cruiserweight match-up.
Schneider, who is a former U.S. Marine that served four years of active duty, was most recently seen participating as one of the Star’s on the hit reality show “The Contender” Season 4.
In what is sure to be the toughest fight in his young pro career, Star Boxing’s exciting Scottish heavyweight Ian Millarvie (7-0, 5KO) will take on veteran brawler Terrell “Baby Bull” Nelson (8-9, 5KO) in a four round heavyweight special attraction.
For Millarvie, it will be just the second time in his career he has fought in the United States, and it will come against the always game Nelson, who is coming off a spirited effort decision loss to fellow Star Boxing heavyweight, and 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Captain, Devin Vargas.
Making his second straight appearance at the Hilton Rye Town Hotel, will be former Israeli Navy Crew Commander, all-action brawler, Eilon Kedem (9-2-4, 6KO) taking on Julio Valadez (3-6-1). The bout scheduled for six round in the super bantamweight division.
Kedem fought on Star Boxing’s first installment of Rumble at the Hilton Rye Town, earning a draw against Robert DaLuz in what many considered to be the fight of the night, as both warriors stood toe-to-toe for the entire eight round fight, having the packed crowd in attendance on the edge of their seats and standing and applauding for each and every round.
Also on the card, returning from a three-year hiatus from the ring, is former New York Yankee’s second round draft pick, and former University of Florida defensive back, Richard Brown (4-0, 2KO). Brown will take on New York City’s own Andrew Hutchinson (2-11-2) in a four round cruiserweight matchup.
Brown was drafted in the 2nd round by the Yankees in the 1995 draft. Brown played six years in the minors before being called up in 2001. He spent thirty-three days on the big league roster before hurting his shoulder. Brown will be looking to feed of his former team’s recent three-game sweep in the divisional playoffs as he looks to get his boxing career back underway, and add another win to his unbeaten record.
Rounding out the card will be Stamford, Connecticut’s Ahmad Mickens (1-0) as he squares off against pro-debuting Todd Eriksson. The bout is scheduled for four rounds in the light heavyweight division.
