Bethlehem, PA–King’s Promotions has POSTPONED the June 19th fight card at The Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem and will be rescheduled for Friday, September 5th.

The card was postponed due to injuries suffered by fighters that were scheduled for the card.

“Sometimes these things happen in boxing, but we already have the make-up date and many of the same fighters will be ready to perform on September 5th,” said Marshall Kauffman, CEO of King’s Promotions.

Fans who purchased tickets will be able to exchange the tickets for September 5th. A full card announcement will be released shortly.

King’s Promotions will be at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia on Friday night, June 27th. An announcement on that card will be out next week.

WHITE PLAINS, NY (June 4, 2025). The full card has been set for an outstanding boxing night that will take place on Saturday night, June 14 at The Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York.

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. In the past, these arenas were filled with enthusiastic boxing fans and once upon a time the Westchester County Center was likewise a venue on the boxing tour where you could watch these hotly contested rivalries and future stars”.

“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”.

Rajon Chance vs. Yan Carlos Perez…

In a featured title fight, Rajon Chance takes on Yan Carlos Perez in a Super-Bantamweight bout scheduled for 10-rounds for the NBA Title. Rajon ‘Weezy’ Chance, 24, an accomplished slick boxer, has a record of 8-1-1 with four knockouts. The five-year pro, also known as ‘Picasso’, was a top US Amateur and holds a win over previously and draw Elon Dejesus. Chance’s only blemish was a highly controversial split decision loss to undefeated Travon Lawson. Chance faces the toughest fight of his career against knockout artist Yan Carlos Perez,

of the Dominican Republic. Perez, brings in an undefeated record of 6-0 with five

knockouts. The exciting banger already has wins over tough competition and already defeated New York’s Ronny Reyes (4-1) and Jose Santoya (6-1). He iIs coming off a first round stoppage over 38-fight veteran Merito Sabillo on May 3, 2025.

Ryan O’Rourke vs. Boubacar Sylla…

Another thrilling matchup features undefeated Ryan O’Rourke (12-0, 3 KO) of Dublin, Ireland against Boubacar Sylla (12-1, 7 KO) in a welterweight bout scheduled for eight-rounds.

Harley Burke vs. Louis Maietta…

Burke, has a knockout win over previously undefeated Raekwon Williams, and is coming off a unanimous decision over Tevin Terrance on November 23, 2024 in Huntington, New York, one of only two fights where the knockout artist has had to go the distance. FDNY Fireman, Louis Maietta of the Bronx, is 6-4-2 with two knockouts. The 30-year-old Maietta, is also a fan favorite and has developed well over the past year.

the making. Marte takes on tough veteran Edwin Rodriguez (12-9-2, 5 K0) of

The 29 year-old Langer of Baltimore, Maryland. has a record of 4-0 with three knockouts and already has four more prospective dates on the near horizon

Langer, who recently signed with Jeter Promotions, is coming off a fourth round stoppage over Sean Schultz on March 1st at Live! Casino and Hotel Maryland.

“He was tough and bigger. He was coming down in weight. I am a natural cruiserweight. He was one of the strongest guys that I have fought. He took a lot of my big shots. He came to win, but. my experience and skill took over. It was a fight that I needed to see where I am,” said Langer

Langer began boxing just nine years ago after a friend of his mother encouraged him to go to the gym.

Tyler amassed a record of 40-10 in the amateur ranks. “I had a hard life growing up. I joined the gym and had success. I was not able to travel for bigger competitions as we were not able to raise enough money to compete,” said Langer.

Before his last fight, Langer was able to ink a deal with Jeter. Promotions: Jeter who has been promoting sold out events over the last decade feels that he has a hidden gem in Langer.

“Tyler has a lot of ability and he will win championships. I plan to bring him along at the right pace and I can see him being a contender in the cruiserweight division in the future,” said Jeter.

Upon hearing high praise from Jeter, Langer was excited about the future.

“Tony Jeter is a great promoter. He can move me the way I need to be moved. I know he can get me to all of the regional, International and eventually world titles. He will get us to where we need to go. It feels amazing that Tony Jeter believes in me the way he does. I know what I am worth, other promoters never gave that. Tony does that. He knows that I want more rounds and undefeated opponents to lead towards belt fights.”

On keeping a busy schedule for the rest of 2025, Langer feels that it is a great opportunity to get exposure and on the radar of some of the fighters that are currently ranked high at cruiserweight.

“As a team, I love being active. I am always in the gym. It keeps my mind goal oriented and I have something to work for.”  

I know I could have at least four dates, plus a couple other fights could come up, So i would not be surprised if am 8 or 9-0 at the end of the year.

Langer is trained by Warren Boadley.at the Mack Lewis Gym in Baltimore, Maryland.

“I want everyone to believe in me and I will put the Mack Lewis Gym back on the map.”

ATLANTIC CITY (March 13, 2025)–Atlantic City’s rich boxing heritage continues to build on Saturday, March 22, as the Tropicana Atlantic City hosts an electrifying night of fights, with doors opening to the public at 6:30 PM. Presented by Boxing Insider Promotions, this event—the fourth at the venue—showcases six New Jersey boxers in a thrilling card broadcast live on DAZN.

Leading the charge is “Mr. Atlantic City,” unbeaten junior middleweight Justin Figueroa (11-0, 9 KOs), who’ll be appearing for the fourth time on a Boxing Insider show. He’ll oppose Argentina’s Mario “El Torito” Rios (10-3-1, 7 KOs) in a six-round clash. Rios has lost only to unbeaten foes, and he’s gone a lot of rounds in his career, so stamina shouldn’t be a problem for him. 

Figueroa, who continues to climb up the ranks, stopped Omar Rosales in four rounds in his last fight, at the Trop, in November. 

Atlantic City heavyweight Bruce Seldon Jr. would like for history to repeat itself. He is the son of Bruce Seldon, the city’s only world heavyweight champion, and he puts his unbeaten record (4-0, 3 KO’s) on the line. 

He is, of course, the son of the city’s first world heavyweight champion, Bruce Seldon, and is rapidly developing his skills and a big fan following. On the March 22 show, he’ll tackle Gabriel Costa, who’ll be taking a three-fight win streak into the ring. 

Junior middleweight Damian Tinnerello of Berlin, NJ (4-0, 4 KOs), has a lot of national tournament experience as an amateur, including an appearance in the finals of the 2020 USA Youth National Championships. He’ll be aiming for his fifth straight knockout in a scheduled four-rounder. 

Also slated for four-rounds is a former amateur star with the same record, who happens to be another New Jersey product. 

Multiple national champion Kahshad Elliott (4-0, 4 KOs) of Plainfield, NJ comes to Atlantic City for the first time, and he’s going to be showcased in a four-round welterweight bout. 

Julio Sanchez III, who hails from nearby Pleasantville, is coming off his last amateur bout, which took place at the Tropicana Atlantic City in November. And now he’ll make his professional debut in the lightweight division, taking on Douglas Diggs in a four-rounder. He is looking to continue a legacy, as his father Julio Sanchez, a local firefighter, competed as a pro welterweight. 

The ten-round main event brings an international touch to the festivities. 

Vlad Panin (21-1, 13 KOs) is originally from Belarus but has fought all but one of his bouts in the United States. Notable among his victories is a second-round TKO of former world welterweight and junior welterweight champion Devon Alexander, which took place last May. Panin is currently ranked #6 by the United States Boxing Association in the junior middleweight class.

His opponent on March 22 is Brian Arregui, who lost fights by majority decision and split decision in his last two outings. Arregui, who at one time was the WBO Youth champion at 154 pounds, competed for his native Argentina in the 2020 Summer Olympics. 

Promoter Larry Goldberg and Boxing Insider Promotions are really breathing life into Atlantic City’s boxing scene, and they reinforce that with this stacked lineup.
