MASHANTUCKET, CT – CES Boxing returns to Foxwoods Resort Casino on May 10 with a loaded card featuring 2 championship bouts and several of the best prospects in the Northeast US.
Tickets for CES Boxing’s Championship Jackpot 2025 are on sale now, beginning at $82. Purchase your tickets at CESFights.com or Ticketmaster.
In the main event, “King” Kevin Walsh (16-0, 9 KOs) looks to make the first defense of his WBC US Silver Featherweight title against New Haven’s Tramaine “The Mighty Midget” Williams (20-2, 6 KOs).
Walsh won the WBC title in February with a spectacular 8th round knockout of Ricky de los Santos. The Brockton, MA native, who also won New England Lightweight and Super Featherweight titles in 2024, continues to inch towards a world title shot. In his way is Williams, a former world title challenger who has shared the ring with the likes of 2-division world champion Angelo Leo, top contender Elijah Pierce, and grizzled veteran Yenifel Vicente.
Heavy handed Lawrence, MA prospect Steven “Savage” Sumpter (10-1-1, 8 KOs) battles Georgia’s Eric Moon (11-6-1, 6 KOs) in the co-feature for the vacant WBC US Silver Super Middleweight title. The 31-year-old Sumpter is coming off a 4th round stoppage of veteran Victor Exner in February and looks to make it 2 in a row with CES Boxing.
The championship bouts are supported by competitive match-ups featuring many of the best fighters in New England.
Exciting Bridgeport, CT lightweight Jacob “Lefty” Marrero (8-0, 7 KOs) battles New York’s Wilfredo Flores (11-4-1, 5 KOs), while Polish prospect Slawomir Bohdziewicz (5-0, 4 KOs) collides with power puncher Russell Harris (6-1, 6 KOs) in a 6-round cruiserweight contest.
Rising heavyweight prospect Ali Feliz (5-0, 4 KOs) of Danbury, CT, makes his second appearance of 2025 at Foxwoods, tackling Missouri native Brandon Carmack (8-7-2, 5 KOs) in a 6-round slugfest.
Someone’s O has to go when Stamford, CT’s Douglas Marroquin (5-0, 3 KOs) collides with Louisiana’s Tremaine Jones (3-0, 3 KOs) in a 4-round middleweight bout.
Providence-based welterweight Victor Reynoso (10-0, 7 KOs) continues his comeback after a lengthy layoff against Jacksonville, FL’s Chris Puryear (5-2), and blue-chip prospect Joseph “J-Elite” Chisholm (4-0, 4) looks to extend his streak to 5 first round knockouts when he battles Missouri’s Markist Taylor (1-1) in a 4 round super bantamweight bout.
Rounding out the card are New Haven, CT’s Carlos Perez (3-0) and Kevante Wineglass (1-0) in a pair of jr. welterweight bouts, and the professional debuts of Rhode Island middleweight Will Guilmette, Norwalk, CT welterweight Victor Guerra, and heavyweight David Marshall Jr. of Bristol, RI.
