Undefeated heavyweight prospect Sardius Simmons (8-0, 4 KOs), of Flint, Mich., will take on battle-tested veteran Detrailous “Teddy” Webster (9-5, 5 KOs), of Courtland, Miss., in an eight-round heavyweight bout. Simmons is a two-time National Golden Glove Champion who has fought 9 times in 13 months since turning professional. He’ll take on his toughest test in Webster, who lost a close decision to Lenier Perro, a once beaten heavyweight whose only loss is to Jarrell Miller.
“Staying active is everything for a heavyweight, so coming straight off my June fight in Grand Rapids and getting right back in the ring at the Fox Theatre is exactly where I need to be,” said Simmons. “Everybody knows what happens when I step into that ring, and August 29 is no different. Make sure we have a pillow and blanket ready for him”
Detroit resident and welterweight prospect Hussam Al Mashhadi (15-1, 12 KOs) will face Seantorious Martin (12-1, 7 KOs), of Atlanta, in an eight-round matchup of once-beaten welterweights. Mashhadi, a native of Iraq, has won via KO in seven of his last nine matches. The 5-foot-11 southpaw and big local draw will face a stiff challenge in Martin, whose only blemish came in a split decision loss to then-undefeated Tahmir Smalls.
“It feels great to stay active and get back to work at the Fox Theatre,” said Mashhadi. “My last fight there was an incredible experience, and I’m coming to lock in another big win. The fans can expect a completely dominant performance from start to finish.”
In a women’s bout on the undercard, undefeated prospect Jasmine Hampton (2-0, 2 KOs), of Ann Arbor, will take on Gloria Munguilla (8-3), of Los Angeles, in an eight-round flyweight bout. Hampton, who trains at Tony Harrison’s Super Bad Gym, is being fast-tracked and has knockouts in both her professional fights. The multi-time amateur champion earned a spot at U.S. Olympic Trials, narrowly missing out on making the U.S. Olympic team. The southpaw will face a significant step-up in Munguilla, who recently challenged for the WBC International Light Flyweight belt.
“It feels amazing to stay active and step back into the building where it all started,” said Hampton. “The Fox Theatre holds a special place in my heart because of my pro debut and that viral knockout, but I’m an even more dangerous fighter today. The fans know what I bring to the ring, and on August 29, they’re getting pure excitement. She can bring everything she has, but know this, no one makes it to the final bell with me.”
In a matchup of undefeated 118-pounders, explosive former amateur standout Richard Fernandez Jr. (5-0, 3 KOs) will face Joshua Moreno (4-0, 3 KOs), of Norcross, Ga., in a six-round bantamweight bout. The 23-year-old Fernandez won seven national titles as a member of Team USA before turning pro in 2024. The San Antonio native, who is promoted by G2G Promotions along with Mansour, Ballo and Maldonado, will take a step-up on Aug. 29 when he faces his first undefeated professional opponent in Moreno.
“I’m excited to be back on another great fight card,” Fernandez said. “I’ll be facing another undefeated opponent who’s 4-0 with 3 knockouts, and I have a lot of respect for anyone willing to step into the ring and put it all on the line. I’ve put in the work every day during this training camp, and I’m ready to give the fans a great fight. These are the kinds of challenges I’ve been asking for because they bring out the best in me. I’m grateful for every opportunity to prove myself and show everyone exactly who La Bombita is and what I’m capable of.”
In the opening bout on Wynn Records Network, undefeated Puerto Rican prospect Caleb Tirado (2-0, 1 KO) will return in a six-round bantamweight bout. Tirado began boxing at age 9 and spent nearly two decades building one of the most decorated amateur careers in Puerto Rican boxing history. The 24-year-old competed in top international tournaments as an amateur, winning the 2023 Continental Championship alongside 12 Puerto Rico National Championships.
The Wynn broadcast will also feature highlights of hometown favorite and undefeated 140-pound prospect Lance Smith (7-0, 5 KOs), who will take on Marlin Sims (9-4, 4 KOs), of Gibbonton, Fla., in a six-round super lightweight bout. Smith, who also trains at Super Bad Boxing Gym, recently graduated with a Sports Management degree from Wayne State University in May 2026. He fights in honor of his father Stephen, who passed away in 2022.
“I’m grateful to be right back in the ring at the Fox Theatre on August 29th,” said Smith. “Growth comes through experience, and I can’t wait to show the fans what I’ve been working on. Whether you’re coming from Detroit or traveling across state lines, you can expect an intelligent fighter who is ready to bite down, finish the job, and put on a show. To my opponent: bring the absolute best version of yourself, because I’m coming to make a statement.”
Non-televised bouts on Aug. 29 include Savannah Tini (7-0, 2 KOs) in an eight-round women’s super lightweight bout and Sai Maldonado (2-0, 2 KOs), of Green Bay, in a four-round lightweight match.
“Detroit is a true hub for world-class professional boxing, and our August 29 event showcases exactly why,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “The card features world-rated contenders, elite prospects from across the country, and outstanding local talent developed in Detroit’s legendary boxing gyms.
