As part of the Armed Forces Day Celebrations, Comanche Nation Casino in Lawton, OK will host a night of professional boxing on Friday night, May 15 followed by a rock concert the next night, both events under the all new and spectacular EventTent.
Six bouts are scheduled in this “sock ‘em, rock ‘em” weekend of entertainment, with the fights featuring three world class headliners.
The first is undefeated Native American Boxing Council Super Middleweight Champion George “Comanche Boy” Tahdooahnipah, who will fight in the Main Event.
Comanche Boy will be fighting rugged Dan Wallace, traveling from Detroit, MI to the heart of Oklahoma to best “Comanche Boy” in what is sure to be an exciting fight.
Detroit boxers are among the best and toughest anywhere and have a history of winning.
Comanche Boy’s entrance to the ring is commenced by the thrilling and colorful Comanche War Dancers, a Comanche drum group, and Comanche rap artist, “Red Elk.”
The card also features another bang up brawl with Oklahoma’s own, Grady the “Bad Boy” Brewer, The Contender Champion, who is nationally known and respected.
Junior middleweight Brewer will be fighting Reginald Nash from Chattanooga, TN in a six round bout. In addition to being The Contender Champion, Brewer is a former IBA Light Middleweight Champion.
The third headliner is undefeated light heavyweight Marcus Oliveria from Lawrence. Oliveria’s amateur record is impressive, with 200 wins and only 23 losses.
Oliveria will be fighting Isaiah Henderson from Kansas City, Missouri in a scheduled six round fight.
Also scheduled on the card is former NHL hockey player heavyweight Ron “the Ice Man” Aubrey who will fight a four rounder with June Brown from Arkansas.
Aubrey, who weighs in at 280 pounds, has developed a following from those who remember his days as a former Oklahoma City Blazer. Since Aubrey’s debut in the boxing ring in 2006, he has fought seven exciting fights and has five wins, four by knock out.
Rounding out the card are heavyweights Tyson Cobb from Wichita Falls, Texas and John Fish from Guymon, Oklahoma and welterweights Jonathan Nelson of Oklahoma City, OK and Brad Hill from Russellville, Arkansas.
