CES Boxing: Prospect Biosse Headlines “Labor Daze” Fight Card

ByBoxing Press

The next generation of New England boxers, led by undefeated Providence super middleweight Vladine Biosse, will be showcased Friday night, Sept. 3 on the “Labor Daze” card, presented by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc. (CES), at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, RI.

Biosse (7-0, 4 KOs), a former University of Rhode Island football player, is coming off a sensational nationally-televised win against “Irish” Joey McCreedy in which the Cape Verdean native won an 8-round decision for the New England super middleweight title.

In his first main event, Biosse will defend his title against an opponent to be determined in an 8-round bout.

“CES is constantly developing talent and reloading its stable.” CES president Jimmy Burchfield said. “This show will be the first punch landed for the Labor Day weekend. Fights fans attending ‘Labor Daze’ will have an opportunity to watch some of tomorrow’s stars.

“Vladine is headed to greatness. We believe he has all of the needed skills and intangibles to capture a world title in the future. Many of the other local fighters are going to make a lot of noise in this business, too.”

In a pair of 4-round bouts, Fall River (MA) super welterweight Dustin Reinhold (2-1, 2 KOs) faces Providence’s pro-debuting Rameil Shelton, of Providence, while Woonsocket (RI) super middleweight Joe Gardner (5-1-1, 1 KO) faces New Bedford’s (MA) Eric Pinarreta (2-4, 2 KOs).
