NEWARK, N.J. (June 21, 2025) — Middleweight contender Vito Mielnicki Jr. returned to his home state for another night in the spotlight.

The 23-year-old defeated Poland’s Kamil Gardzielik via 10-round unanimous decision (100-89 3x) Saturday evening at Newark’s Prudential Center.

Mielnicki (21-1-1, 12 KOs) delivered a composed performance despite early success. In the second round, he floored Gardzielik (19-1, 4 KOs) with a right hand after the latter briefly switched to southpaw.

Rather than chase the finish, Mielnicki boxed patiently behind a long jab, mixing in right hands with left uppercuts down the middle and hooks around the elbows. The right hand continued to play an important role down the stretch, though he was unable to hurt him as he had earlier.

Mielnicki said, “I was happy with my performance. This came from working on sticking to the game plan and not getting out of my game plan when I hurt somebody. I felt we did a good job with that.”

“I wanted to use a hard, stiff jab. I felt that we did that really well. I welted up his face early. We set up that double right hand that we worked on in camp.”

“I feel blessed. As a kid, I dreamed of fighting here in the main event.”

Tucker Shuts Down Simpson in Grudge Match

Jahi Tucker (15-1-1, 6 KOs) settled his beef with Lorenzo Simpson (15-3, 9 KOs) with a 10-round points victory (96-94 and 97-93 2x) after weeks of online back-and-forth.

The bad blood carried into the ring, as both wasted no time trading at close range. Simpson succeeded with left uppercuts to the body and straight lefts to the head, but Tucker landed more consistent power shots.

In rounds four and five, Tucker turned up the pressure, walking Simpson down and unloading combinations while ignoring return fire that connected often. By the sixth and seventh, Tucker changed tactics, boxing from the outside and connecting with right hands and left uppercuts before moving again.

He continued switching styles down the stretch, outpointing a game Simpson in the exchanges.

Tucker said, “The difference was that I really wanted it more. He’s a hell of a fighter, but it was crunch time for me. You know how it is.”

“There was no real bad blood. We’re just two solid competitors. We’re two guys trying to feed our families. Of course, when you want that spot, you come to fight. He came to fight, so I had to dig deep.”

Knyba Overwhelms Siwy
Undefeated heavyweight Damian Knyba (16-0, 10 KOs) scored an eighth-round stoppage over Marcin Siwy (25-1-1, 12 KOs) in an all-Polish showdown.

Knyba, a six-foot-seven behemoth with a six-inch height advantage, used an extended lead hand to keep Siwy at range while the shorter man lunged forward headfirst, looking to work on the inside.

The early rounds were filled with clinches, but Knyba found his rhythm in the fifth and sixth, digging to the body and landing around the guard.

By the seventh and eighth, he easily landed the right on a bloodied Siwy, who offered less and less in return. Siwy made it back to his corner after the eighth but was ruled unable to continue.

In undercard results:

Junior Welterweight: Brandun Lee (30-0, 23 KOs) UD 8 Elias Araujo (22-6, 9 KOs), Scores: 80-72 3x.

On Saturday night, Star Boxing delivered a thrilling boxing event that had fans engaged from start to finish. The non-stop action saw fights with varying levels of momentum swings, guts, glory and skills on full display as multiple fights had a legitimate claim to “Fight of the Night.”

The setting was intriguing as the beautiful old school arena was impressively adorned with Empire Harley-Davidson’s motorcycles, celebrating their collaboration with Star Boxing.

Fight night results:

Rajon Chance vs Yan Carlos Perez

Rajon Chance scored a hard fought, narrow 10-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Dominican Republic stand out Yan Carlos Perez to capture the NBA Super Bantamweight title capping an outstanding Star Boxing card presented by Joe DeGuardia at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York.

Chance and Perez set a quick pace from the outset as both fighters displayed tremendous skill battling toe-to-toe the entire fight. The fight met, and exceeded, expectations and captivated old timers with impressive punch output, terrific body work and classic ‘inside the pocket’ action. The judges had the fight up for grabs until Chance finished strong and won via a narrow 2-point unanimous decision (96-94) on all three judges’ score cards. The scores indicated that Chance needed that final round to finally put a blemish on the previously undefeated resume of Perez and Chance delivered with a spirited ending.

Chance of East Orange, New Jersey is now 9-1-1, 6 KO’s. Perez of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic falls to 6-1, 4 KO’s. Both fighters clearly displayed they are fighters with skills well above their number of pro fights.

Harley Burke vs Louis Maietta

The co-feature pitted an old-fashioned neighborhood type rivalry between super

middleweights Louis Maietta of Bronx, New York and Harley Burke of Yonkers, New York.

This fight was another fight that fans will remember for the action in the ring and the energy of fans of both fighters booming equally throughout the arena. The fight matched the crowd intensity as Burke and Maietta were like gladiators of years gone by. Grit, blood and heart were on display during the entire fight with fans chanting and rooting for each fighter.

Maietta, the brave and gutsy NYC fireman, came out strong and appeared to be winning the quick paced first round, when Burke dropped Maietta with an overhand right. Maietta fought back bravely throughout the bout, but Burke’s combinations were too much for Maietta to combat. Both fighters large groups of fans remained vocal throughout as the action inside the ring and fervor of the divergent crowd made for a dramatic and thrilling spectacle. In the end Burke scored a hard fought unanimous decision to improve 10-0, 7KOs. Maietta falls to 6-5-2, 2 KOs.

Eduardo Monrreal vs Austin Cassese

Monrreal struck early as he landed a left hand from the southpaw stance that put Cassese on the canvas. Cassese momentarily got himself back into the

fight and then hurt Monrreal with two hard right hands along the ropes. Monrreal roared back however and uncorked a huge right hand that dropped Cassese for the second time. Cassese tried to get to his feet but fell back to the canvas and the fight was over.

Monrreal of El Paso, Texas is 2-2, 2KO’s. Cassese of Shrub Oak, New York drops to 3-1, 3KO’s

Ryan O’Rourke vs Boubacar Sylla

?Kevin Hill

Oné dropped Hill in round one and battered him around in round two before the fight was stopped. One goes to 1-0, 1KO. Hill Drops to 1-4, 1KO.

The show was promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, as Joe returned to his roots

where he promoted shows in the 1990’s and once fought on his way to Junior Olympic and Golden Gloves Championships. Interestingly, both his dad and uncle fought as professionals as well at the same historic venue. The enthusiastic crowd saw sensational ‘old school’ action in the ring and riveting fan engagement outside the ring as the fights lived up to their pre-fight billing. The entire show was beyond impressive.

It wasn’t just a boxing event— it was a full-throttle experience that kept everyone standing, shouting, and supporting their favorites, and, in the end, acknowledging and appreciating all the fighters, regardless of who they were originally rooting for. A fantastic evening of entertainment

WHITE PLAINS, NY (June 14, 2025) – The anticipation has reached a boiling point as Star Boxing brings the fire back to the Westchester County Center TONIGHT Saturday, June 14, with its hard-hitting fight card, “Prospects Collide.” The card features a high-stakes blend of rising talent, city rivalries, and throwback grit—an event tailor-made for fight fans hungry for real action.

Earlier this week, the fight world got a taste of what’s to come during a packed press conference at Empire Harley-Davidson in New Rochelle, where fighters traded words, staredowns, and predictions. The event was drenched in energy as press, fans, and industry insiders gathered among steel and chrome for a raw preview of Saturday’s matchups.

“I’m ready to show the best version of myself,” Perez calmly responded, confidence in his voice and knockout power in his hands.

Local bragging rights will also be on the line in a classic borough battle between Yonkers and the Bronx. In this battle amongst fan-favorites, undefeated Irish-American Harley Burke takes on tought Bronx Firefighter Louis Maietta, in a six-round Super Middleweight bout that has a throwback vibe that feels more personal than promotional.

“Irish vs. Italian. Yonkers vs. Bronx. This fight sells itself,” Burke declared.
“We’re putting on a hell of a show Saturday night,” Maietta fired back.

Also featured is Austin “All-American” Cassese of Shrub Oak, NY, a Marist College grad, who is seeking another highlight-reel finish in front of a hometown crowd. Cassese takes on Eduardo Monrreal in a scheduled four-rounder.

In another compelling 50/50 bout, Ireland’s unbeaten Ryan O’Rourke (12-0, 3 KO) squares off with tough Cincinnati native Boubacar Sylla (12-1, 7 KO) in a Welterweight clash that could steal the show.

Making his pro debut is Bronx math teacher and USIBA National Champion Sharif One, a proud Ivorian-American stepping into the professional ranks against Kevin Hill in a four-round Super Welterweight bout. A natural leader inside and outside the ring, One’s mix of brains and brawn makes him one to watch.

Promoter Joe DeGuardia, President of Star Boxing, sees the card as a throwback to boxing’s golden era—real fights, real risks, and fighters chasing greatness the hard way.

“This is the kind of card boxing needs,” said DeGuardia. “Great matches, storylines and historic ties to the old days. Matchups where pride, progression, and passion are all on the line in front of excited, vested fans.”

The event is being held in proud collaboration with Empire Harley-Davidson, which hosted the week’s press conference and continues to support community-centered entertainment rooted in tradition and toughness.

The fight card, “Prospects Collide” is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and is a testament to the old glory days of boxing.

“This card is a throwback to an era when fans could see neighborhood wars at venues like Sunnyside Gardens, St. Nicholas Arena, Ridgewood Grove Arena, & Madison Square Garden”. said Joe DeGuardia, CEO of Star Boxing. “It was a time when young up and comers would face each other.

“We are recreating this on June 14. We have 50/50 matchups in the title fight

between Chance against Perez, and the exciting O’Rourke vs Sylla battle.

Plus, we have the neighborhood battles like we have in Maietta against Burke. There

are not many cards like this today and I commend these fighters for stepping up, taking a risk, and not waiting for years to fight ‘real fights.’ This is great for fans and for fighters’ development as adversity makes better fighters. This is how you hone

character and ultimate rewards of even bigger fights down the line”.

The Caribbean Clash is the first of a multi-part series, with the second installment slated for November 2025.

“Miami is home to one of the most diverse Caribbean populations in the U.S.,” said Ron Johnson, CEO of American Dream Presents. “From Little Haiti to Little Havana, there’s an incredible fan base here that’s proud of their heritage and passionate about boxing. This event is about giving them something to cheer for—and to celebrate.”

In addition to world-class boxing, The Caribbean Clash will feature live musical performances from some of the hottest artists from the Caribbean islands, delivering a vibrant, high-energy experience that celebrates the spirit of the Caribbean both inside and outside the ring.

“This isn’t just a fight night—it’s a movement,” said Steve Marcano, CEO of Nothing But Sportz. “We’re combining sports and culture to give the fans something unforgettable. Our goal is to elevate boxing by making it a celebration of identity, music, and excellence.”

Tickets and the full fight lineup will be announced in the coming weeks. For updates, follow @americandreampresents on social media.
