On April 28, Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing will present an exciting night of boxing at the elegant Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, NY. The show will be the first installment of Star Boxing’s new series, VIP Boxing.
Headlining the show will be Queen’s own heavyweight fan favorite Vinny Maddalone, 31-5 (22). Maddalone, with his all-action style, has been exciting crowds since he first turned pro in 1999. Maddalone carries dynamite in both his hands and is always looking to exchange heavy blows in close quarters, which is sure to make for an extremely exciting main event.
The co-feature bout of the evening features former WBO/NABO lightweight champion, Jorge “The Truth” Teron, 22-1-1 (15), of the Bronx, NY. Teron has lightning quick hands and devastating power. Nine of his last eleven wins have come by way of knockout and at six feet tall he certainly looks like he is going to be a true force to be reckoned with in the lightweight division in the years to come.
The show will kick off at 7PM sharp with an hour long cocktail reception. Immediately following the reception a four course elegant dinner will start being served, at which time the first bout will go on. There will be cocktail service throughout, with an open bar running for the remainder of the evenings fights.
“We are very excited about our new series, VIP Boxing,” stated Star Boxing President and CEO Joe DeGuardia. “I truly feel Russo’s On The Bay is one of the premier banquet halls in the entire nation and we couldn’t be more excited about teaming up with them to put together this show. Vinny and Jorge are two very exciting fighters that you know are always going to put on an exciting show, so we are really looking forward to this event on the 28th.”
“We are very pleased to have the opportunity of hosting Star Boxing’s first installment of VIP Boxing at Russo’s On The Bay. It’s great to have one of the premier promoters in the industry, Star Boxing, staging this high-end event at Russo’s on April 28th. We really feel it’s going to be a fantastic night all around,” stated Frank Russo III.
