Star Boxing Announces “Punchin’ At The Paradise” Undercard

ByBoxing Press

On Friday May 14th, Golden Boy Promotions and Star Boxing, present Punchin at the Paradise 10 at the historical Paradise Theater in the Bronx. Headlining the TeleFutura “Sólo Boxeo Tecate” card is undefeated lightweight prospect, Adrien “The Problem” Broner (14-0, 11KO’s) as he squares off against “The Dominican Man” Rafael Lora (11-2, 5KO’s) over ten rounds.

In the co-feature bout of the evening, two undefeated lightweight prospects collide when Newark New Jersey’s own, Mike “The Artist” Perez (7-0, 3KO’s) squares off against Francisco Reyes (5-0, 2KO’s) over six scheduled rounds.

Fighting for the first time in his adopted home of the Bronx, hot up and coming prospect Yathomas Riley (8-0, 6KO’s) looks to keep his unbeaten streak alive, and continue his climb up the ranks of the light heavyweight division, when he takes on Angel David Gonzalez (6-7-1, 3KO’s) in a six round light heavyweight match-up.

Popular Albanian super middleweight, Shqiprim “White Tiger” Muriqi (3-0, 2KO’s) looks to make it a perfect 4-0 when he meets Rondu Campbell (2-4) in a four round contest.

Muriqi, who hails from nearby Yonkers, NY, is looking to follow in the footsteps of his cousin, former world title challenger, Elvir Muriqi, as he makes his debut at the Paradise Theater.

Also making his Bronx debut, will be Bronx native and two-time New York Golden Gloves Champion, Raul Lopez (3-0-1, 3KO’s) when he takes on fellow unbeaten Daniel Aquino (3-0). The bout is scheduled for four rounds in the super bantamweight division.

Also seeing action on the card is former world title challenger, “The Real Million Dollar Baby” Maureen Shea (13-2, 7KO’s) as she squares off against Puerto Rico’s Norma Faris (3-2) in a six round female super featherweight match-up.

Like Lopez, the fan-favorite Shea was born and raised in the Bronx and will certainly have a strong contingent of fans on hand to show their support as she looks to get herself back into title contention.

Rounding out the card will be undefeated cruiserweight, Ahmed “The Prince of Egypt” Samir (8-0, 2KO’s) taking on “Big” John Douglas (7-13-3, 3KO’s) in a six round cruiserweight match-up.
