NEW YORK, NY (October 9, 2024) Live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden, DiBella Entertainment presents “Heroes on the Hudson 2”, a night of championship boxing to celebrate and show appreciation for our country’s military veterans. The event, set to take place on Wednesday, October 23, will be broadcast live on ProBoxTV beginning at 8:00pm ET. A portion of the proceeds from “Heroes on the Hudson 2” will be donated to West Point Society of New York, Merging Vets & Players, and The Headstrong Project.
In the main event, Miyo Yoshida (17-4) rematches Shurretta Metcalf (13-4-1, 2 KOs) for Yoshida’s IBF Bantamweight World Title. The two faced off at the first annual Heroes on the Hudson event last November, with Metcalf winning a unanimous decision.
