ByBoxing Press

With the first four shows in the Star Boxing “Rockin’ Fights” series at The Paramount selling out, advance tickets are now on sale as “The Fighting Pride of Huntington” Chris Algieri returns to action on Saturday, November 17 against junior welterweight Daniel “The Hudson Valley Kid” Sostre of Highland, New York.

“We’re thrilled to return to The Paramount in Huntington with ‘Rockin’ Fights 5′. The first four shows in this series have sold out and I would strongly encourage fight fans to purchase their tickets in advance”, said DeGuardia.

“Algieri has continued to improve and we’re anticipating an action packed main event between him and the battle tested Sostre. Additionally, we will announce a terrific undercard shortly complimenting this main event.”

With an undefeated record of 15-0-0 with seven stoppages, the 28-year-old pre-med student Algieri will be making the fourth start of 2012. Most recently, he skillfully boxed to an eight round unanimous decision over tough Texas veteran Raul Tovar on July 28 at The Paramount.

A native of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico and also 28-years-old, Sostre has compiled a record of 11-7-1 (4KO’s), over his seven year pro career.

On September 15, Sostre traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada to challenge highly touted and undefeated West Coast based prospect Wale Omotoso at The Thomas and Mack Center on the undercard of the World Middleweight Championship between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Sergio Martinez. Battling over eight action packed rounds, Sostre lost a hard fought decision.

Among the other well regarded prospects Sostre has clashed with are Danny O’Connor, Raymond Serrano, Gabriel Bracero and Mike Ruiz.
