Brick City Fight Night makes it to ProBox TV on April 10

Rising Star Promotions is to oversee another Brick City Fight Night at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on April 10 on an occasion that will be broadcast by ProBox TV.

In addition to what Rising Star insist will be “rising talent” and “local stars” in professional contests, six special police versus firefighters “First Responders” amateur fights will be staged.

Emmanuel Rodriguez, the junior featherweight who lives Newark but is of Quebradillas, Puerto Rico, the junior lightweight Ofacio Falcon, from The Bronx, New York, Newark’s professional middleweight and debutant Yoell Cooper, the junior welterweight Gabriel Gerena of Piscataway, New Jersey, Lisandra Contreras – the junior featherweight from Monte Plata, Dominican Republic but a resident of Passaic, New Jersey – Brooklyn, New York’s Elijah Gonzalez and his fellow junior welterweight, The Bronx’s Alex DeJesus, are those who have so far been scheduled to fight.

“This is exactly the direction we’re building toward,” said Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna of Rising Star. “We’re focused on creating real opportunities for fighters through collaboration, smart partnerships, and consistent national exposure. ProBox TV gives our fighters a platform that elevates their careers, and Prudential Center gives us the stage to showcase them the right way.

“This card is about momentum. We’re developing fighters the right way by putting them in front of real audiences, real platforms, and real opportunities. April 10th is another big step forward for Rising Star and for everyone we work with.”

“We are excited to welcome Rising Star Promotions back for their second edition of their Brick City Fight Night Series at Prudential Center,” said the Prudential Center’s Dylan Wanagiel. “This event’s collection of established veterans and rising stars will certainly add to our legacy of elite professional boxing here at The Rock. We are also very proud to host the New Jersey edition of the Battle of the Badges, featuring the best amateur boxers among NJ’s police, fire, EMS, and military teams.”
