“Make sure you lock in early, because on October 18 Swift Promotions is giving you everything a fight fan could ask for,” said Danny Garcia, CEO of Swift Promotions. “We’ve got big names in this sport taking on tough opponents and the future stars of boxing looking to make a name for themselves on the big stage. I’m gonna close the show in style, but you won’t want to miss anything leading up to the main event. It’s definitely gonna be fireworks in Brooklyn on October 18.”

The pay-per-view event will also see a litany of exciting young contenders in action including unbeaten bantamweight Dominique Crowder (18-0, 11 KOs) in a 10-round matchup against Fernando Diaz (16-5-1, 10 KOs), and Ridgewood, N.Y.’s Mathew Gonzalez (15-1-1, 10 KOs) battling Wilfredo Flores (12-5-1, 5 KOs) in an eight-round super lightweight tilt.

Rounding out the pay-per-view card is unbeaten Washington, D.C.-native Quincey Williams (5-0, 5 KOs) facing Christopher Rodriguez (13-1-1, 11 KOs) in a six-round welterweight attraction and the pro debut of Bronx-native Jahanzeb Rizwan for four-rounds of super welterweight action against Daniel Weber (0-3).

Prior to the PPV, two bouts will stream for free featuring the pro debut of Newark’s Zahir Abdus Salaam in a four-round super welterweight fight dueling Ronald Binyard (0-0-1) and Brooklyn’s Elijah Gonzalez (2-0, 2 KOs) in a four-round super lightweight fight against Jason Chavez (0-1-1).

The event will celebrate the fans and arena that have supported Garcia throughout his storied history of delivering memorable moments over the course of his career. Garcia has amassed a 7-2 record throughout his nine fights at Barclays Center, more than any other fighter at the arena.

The 29-year-old Albright (17-2, 7 KOs) has ascended to the rank of contender with an impressive winning streak following a close decision loss to top contender Jamaine Ortiz in 2022. After beating the previously undefeated Estivan Falcao, Albright bested U.S. Olympian Carlos Balderas via decision in 2023 before facing former champion Keyshawn Davis in a fight that was originally a narrow majority decision loss before being overturned due to a Davis drug test. Albright followed that up by defeating Davis’ brother Kevin in June, winning a majority decision to capture a regional WBC belt. Originally from Philadelphia and fighting out of New Jersey, Albright put together a 14-fight winning streak following a decision loss in his pro debut.

A native of boxing-rich Accra, Ghana who has fought out of New York throughout much of his pro career, Commey (31-5-1, 28 KOs) has faced a who’s-who of top champions including Vasyl Lomachenko, Teofimo Lopez, Robert Easter Jr. and Jose Carlos Ramirez. His to a 135-pound world championship saw him stop the previously unbeaten Alejandro Luna in March 2018 before winning the title with a TKO of Isa Chaniev in February 2019. Commey also owns a 2022 draw against former champion Jose Pedraza and most recently stopped William Jackson in two rounds in August.

Representing his native Bydgoszcz, Poland, Knyba (16-0, 10 KOs) will make his Barclays Center debut on October 18 in front of the borough’s passionate Polish boxing fans. Fighting out of nearby New Jersey, Knyba will look for his third win of the year after most recently beating the previously undefeated Marcin Siwy after eight rounds in June. Knyba has continued to work his way up the heavyweight ranks with wins over veterans including Andrzej Wawrzyk, Michael Coffie and Curtis Harper.

A fan-favorite heavyweight from Philadelphia, Dawejko (28-13-4, 16 KOs) will return to the ring at Barclays Center for the first time since March 2020 when he challenged top heavyweight Frank Sanchez. Dawejko has taken on a litany of heavyweight champions and contenders including Charles Martin, Bryant Jennings, Stephan Shaw and Richard Torrez Jr., while also owning a draw against Jarrell Miller. Before losing his last two fights, Dawejko had won seven of eight contests between September 2022 and April 2024.

A stellar amateur representing Brooklyn, Colbert (17-3, 6 KOs) has also been amongst the boroughs best pros in this recent generation, earning an interim title at 130-pounds in his 14th pro fight as he bested the former champion Jezzrel Corrales. Colbert continued his run at super featherweight by dominating Tugstsogt Nyambayar before eventually running into Hector Luis Garcia and being given his first defeat. He then engaged in a memorable set of showdowns against eventual 140-pound world champion Jose Valenzuela, winning the first fight by decision before dropping the rematch. He’ll return to the ring for his first action since a loss to Omar Salcido in October 2024.

Caro (12-8, 5 KOs) has made a career facing tough opposition and most recently defeated Gabriel Morales by decision in October 2024. The 30-year-old Caro had previously handed Morales the first defeat of his career in April 2024, stopping Morales after four rounds. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Caro’s triumphs over Morales sandwiched an April 2024 loss to the then unbeaten DeMichael Harris. Caro will return to fight in the U.S. for the sixth time on October 18.

One of the era’s defining action fighters, Rosado (27-17-1, 16 KOs) made a name for himself by facing a true who’s-who of boxing’s best including Gennadiy Golovkin, Jermell Charlo, Daniel Jacobs, Jaime Munguia and Peter Quillin, to name just a few. Rosado’s 2021 KO of Bektemir Melikuziev was regarded as one of the year’s best knockouts and biggest upsets. He most recently scored a first round knockout of Crispulo Javier Andino in August and will fight at Barclays Center for the first time since challenging Lemieux at the venue in 2014.

The brother of two-division world champion Devon, Alexander (19-16-2, 12 KOs) has made his own name in the sport by taking on tough challenges time and time again. The St. Louis-native’s resume includes top names such as Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Christian Mbilli, and also includes victories over Luis Arias and the then-unbeaten Money Powell IV.

EARLY RESULTS FROM ATLANTIC CITY

ATLANTIC CITY– – Sensational knockouts was the theme during last night’s professional boxing card, presented by Boxing Insider Promotions, as only three of nine matches went the distance in The Showroom at Tropicana Atlantic City.

All the action was streamed live on DAZN from The Trop.

In the last of three triple-main events, hometown favorite Justin “Mr. Atlantic City” Figueroa (11-0) thrilled his enthusiastic fanbase with a fourth-round stoppage of junior middleweight Omar “El Charro” Rosales (9-4-1, 5 KOs) improving to 11-0 with his ninth knockout.

Crowder is ranked No. 14 in the world by the WBA.

Heavy-handed Tennessee welterweight Avious Griffin improved to 16-0 with his 15th knockout, putting Adrian Gutierrez (12-4-1, 6 KOs) to sleep with a powerful right in round three, extending his KO streak to nine.

Undefeated bantamweight prospect Dominique “Dimes” Crowder Ready to cash in on The Boardwalk

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (October 31, 2024) – Undefeated blue-chip bantamweight prospect Dominique “Dimes” Crowder (17-0, 10 KOs) is ready to cash in November 16th on Boxing Insider Promotions’ loaded card, streaming live on DAZN from The Showroom at Tropicana Atlantic City.

Crowder. the reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) International bantamweight champion, is currently rated No. 14 in the world by the WBA. Trained by Jose Guzman and Hall of Famer Mark Breland, “Dimes” is a two-time New York Golden Gloves Champion rated No. 1 nationally in his weight class during his amateur career.

“I’m super excited to be on this card in Atlantic City,” the 30-year-old Crowder said. “I’m glad (event promoter) Larry Goldberg made it happen. All the greats fought there and it’s not too far from my hometown, about a two-hour drive. I’ll have a lot of support on fight night from people in Baltimore and New York City.”

Crowder takes on Duke Micah (24-2, 19 KOs), of Ghana, in an eight-round bout on The Boardwalk. Micah is a former EBC International, Commonwealth Boxing Council and WBO African bantamweight champion.

“I have known Dominique since he was an amateur when I used to sponsor him,” Goldberg commented. “I have been his friend for years and watched his career progress to 17-0. He has a great team with Jose Guzman, Mark Breland, and his manager Adam Glenn. ‘Dimes’ is one of the best free agents in boxing and just an amazing human being.”

Crowder started boxing at the age of 14 in Baltimore. He fell in love with the sport and quickly discovered that he was a natural boxer. New York City is the home of his training camp for each fight in order to enhance his pro career, going back and forth to his Baltimore home on a regular basis.

Guzman has been training Crowder since the latter part of 2017 and he’s extremely high on his protégé. “Dominique is one of those diamonds in the rough from his amateur days,” Guzman noted. “Everybody knew he was a very slick boxer who was hard to hit, but nobody thought he could hit. As a pro, he’s turned into a boxer-puncher. He didn’t train very much as an amateur because he was so naturally gifted, he didn’t need to. He’s more mature now. Dominique is one of those guys who eats and breathes boxing 24/7. If he’s not in the gym, he’s home watching boxing from back in the day. He is a student of the game.

“He’s the WBA International champion and the question is who is willing to fight him at 118? He’s 6 feet tall, long, and rangy like Mark Breland and Tommy Hearns, and (for his size) Dominique can hit like them.”

Crowder describes his style as a good puncher who is fundamentally sound but can also mix it up pending the situation in the ring. Because of his advantageous height fighting at bantamweight, Crowder watches and in the ring, he attempts to simulate long, rangy fighters such as Mark Breland, Tommy Hearns, Michael Nunn, and Diego Corrales.

The four world bantamweight champions of the major sanctioning bodies are all from Japan and Crowder realizes he may have to travel halfway around the world for his seemingly impending world title shot.

“Boxing is a waiting game,” Dominque explained, “and I need to stay ready until I get that call (world title shot offer). Because I’m ranked, it could happen at any time. If not, I’ll keep working hard to move up and become the mandatory challenger. Hopefully, my chance could happen next year. I’m getting better and better and I’m always fighting bigger guys than me at training camp, real punchers, never guys my weight.

“I’m willing to go to the moon to get my world title shot! I’ll only get one shot at my first world title fight, so I’ll roll the dice and fight anywhere in the world.

Another rising star, Chattanooga (TN) welterweight Avious Griffin (15-0, 14 KOs), headlines in an eight-round bout versus Adrian Gutierrez (12-2-1, 6 KOs). Power-punching Griffin, a former Tennessee State Champion, is trained by Brian “Bomac” McIntyre, who is best known for developing All-World boxer Terence “Bud” Crawford.

Another pair of potential stars who will be in action in six-round bouts are Long Island (NY) super middleweight Donte Layne (4-0, 4 KOs) vs. Shaquille Cameron (7-3, 6 KOs) in a match presented in association with Overtime Boxing, and Paterson (NJ) junior middleweight Dwyke Flemmings, Jr. (8-0, 8 KOs) vs. TBA.

Layne, 21, was a celebrated amateur who captured gold medals at the 2022 and 2021 USA National Championships and National Golden Gloves Tournament; the 20-year-old Flemmings, Jr., from Paterson (NJ), won a silver medal at the 2018 USA Junior Olympics.

A popular Atlantic City trio of fighters will also be in action: junior middleweight Justin “Mr. Atlantic City” Figueroa (10-0, 8 KOs) vs. Imar Rosales (9-3-1, 5 KOs) in a six-rounder, along with heavyweight Bruce “Atlantic City Express 2.0” Seldon, Jr. (3-0, 3 KOs) – the son of former (WBA) Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon, Sr. — vs. Julio Mendoza (3-4, 2 KOs), and undefeated lightweight Francisco Rodriguez (5-0, 5 KOs) vs. TBA in a pair of four-round matches.

A pair of potential female world title contenders, Philadelphia welterweight Stacia “The Natural” Suttles and Hawaiian lightweight Shere Mae Patricio (2-0, 1 KO) will also be showcased in four-round fights vs. opponents to be determined. Suttles, who was born in New York City, was a 2016 USA Women’s National Championships gold medalist. Patricio, 21, won a gold medal at the 2023 USA Women’s National Golden Gloves and 2022 USA Women’s National Championships. She will face Sarah “Switch Kick” Click (1-7-1).

Also in action will be undefeated Italian junior welterweight Giacomo Micheli (8-0, 6 KOs), who takes on Ronnell “Punisher” Burnett (11-1, 7 KOs) in an eight-round bout. Micheli was a standout amateur in Italy.

The card is subject to change.
