“Prospects Collide” Full Card Announced

WHITE PLAINS, NY (June 4, 2025). The full card has been set for an outstanding boxing night that will take place on Saturday night, June 14 at The Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York.

The fight card, “Prospects Collide” is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and is a testament to the old glory days of boxing.

“This card is a throwback to an era when fans could see neighborhood wars at venues like Sunnyside Gardens, St. Nicholas Arena, Ridgewood Grove Arena, & Madison Square Garden”. said Joe DeGuardia, CEO of Star Boxing. “It was a time when young up and comers would face each other. In the past, these arenas were filled with enthusiastic boxing fans and once upon a time the Westchester County Center was likewise a venue on the boxing tour where you could watch these hotly contested rivalries and future stars”.

“We are recreating this on June 14. We have 50/50 matchups in the title fight

between Chance against Perez, and the exciting O’Rourke vs Sylla battle.

Plus, we have the neighborhood battles like we have in Maietta against Burke. There

are not many cards like this today and I commend these fighters for stepping up, taking a risk, and not waiting for years to fight ‘real fights.’ This is great for fans and for fighters’ development as adversity makes better fighters. This is how you hone

character and ultimate rewards of even bigger fights down the line”.

Rajon Chance vs. Yan Carlos Perez…

In a featured title fight, Rajon Chance takes on Yan Carlos Perez in a Super-Bantamweight bout scheduled for 10-rounds for the NBA Title. Rajon ‘Weezy’ Chance, 24, an accomplished slick boxer, has a record of 8-1-1 with four knockouts. The five-year pro, also known as ‘Picasso’, was a top US Amateur and holds a win over previously and draw Elon Dejesus. Chance’s only blemish was a highly controversial split decision loss to undefeated Travon Lawson. Chance faces the toughest fight of his career against knockout artist Yan Carlos Perez,

of the Dominican Republic. Perez, brings in an undefeated record of 6-0 with five

knockouts. The exciting banger already has wins over tough competition and already defeated New York’s Ronny Reyes (4-1) and Jose Santoya (6-1). He iIs coming off a first round stoppage over 38-fight veteran Merito Sabillo on May 3, 2025.

Ryan O’Rourke vs. Boubacar Sylla…

Another thrilling matchup features undefeated Ryan O’Rourke (12-0, 3 KO) of Dublin, Ireland against Boubacar Sylla (12-1, 7 KO) in a welterweight bout scheduled for eight-rounds. O’Rourke, 26 of Dublin, Ireland spent the early part of his career fighting in Europe before coming stateside and racking up four wins in America, which was highlighted by a victory over Faycal Rezkalah (6-1). Sylla of Cincinnatti is a nine-year pro, who holds a victory over previously undefeated Marlon Brown (7-0), and was a highly regarded amateur.

Harley Burke vs. Louis Maietta…

For locals, in perhaps the most highly anticipated fight of the night, Yonkers native Harley Burke risks his undefeated record (9-0, 7 KO’s), when he takes on tough Louis Maietta in a six-round super-middleweight fight.

Burke, has a knockout win over previously undefeated Raekwon Williams, and is coming off a unanimous decision over Tevin Terrance on November 23, 2024 in Huntington, New York, one of only two fights where the knockout artist has had to go the distance. FDNY Fireman, Louis Maietta of the Bronx, is 6-4-2 with two knockouts. The 30-year-old Maietta, is also a fan favorite and has developed well over the past year. He has won three straight and stopped Santiago Torra on January 26th in Colombia. Like Burke, Maietta is expected to bring a big contingency of fans. It will be the Yonkers vs Bronx, Irish vs Italian and Laborer vs Fireman. This fight is what epitomizes the glory days of local boxing when fans are just as vested outside the ring as the fighters are inside the ring.

Rodrigo Marte vs. Edwin Rodriguez…

Rodrigo Marte (6-0, 5 KO) of the Dominican Republic is being heralded as a star in

the making. Marte takes on tough veteran Edwin Rodriguez (12-9-2, 5 K0) of

Juna Diaz, Puerto Rico in a eight-round super bantamweight fight.

Austin Cassese vs. Eduardo Monreal…

Marist College graduate, Austin ‘All American’ Cassese (3-0, 3 KO) of Shrub Oak,

NY fights Eduardo Monreal (1-2, 1 KO) of El Paso, Texas in a four-round super

welterweight fight.

Sharif One (Pro-Debut)…

Sharif One of Bronx, NY makes his pro debut against Austin Spivey in a four-round

super welterweight bout.

This fight card is being thrown in conjunction & collaboration with Empire Harley Davidson.

“ROCKIN’ FIGHTS 40” UNDERCARD ANNOUNCED

Long Island, New York (November 1, 2021) Star Boxing, in association with DiBella Entertainment, announced last week the co-promotional signing of undefeated Italian IBO Super Featherweight World Champion MICHAEL “LONE WOLF” MAGNESI (Cave, Lazio, Italy, 19-0, 11KO’s). Magnesi will make his anticipated US debut on November 11, at The Paramount, in Huntington, Long Island, NY, headlining “Rockin’ Fights 40” against EUGENE LAGOS (Bukidnon, Philippines, 16-5-3, 11KO’s).

Tickets for “Rockin’ Fights 40”, sponsored by Fox Hollow, TECNE Next Gen Combat Training, FootDocStore.com, OPTYX New York, Winters Bros. and Nissan of Queens, are on sale now and can be purchased HERE. The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave, Huntington, NY 11743. Doors will open on the night of the event at 7:00pm ET.

Featured on the undercard will be Bellport, Long Island’s 2013 New York Golden Gloves champion, undefeated super lightweight ALEX “EL TORO” VARGAS (11-0, 4KO’s), promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing. Vargas will be making his eighth appearance at The Paramount. Vargas brings the action as a skillful boxer who is not afraid to mix it up when he needs to – much to the delight of his growing fan base. Vargas, who has been on a tear since making his pro debut in 2018, continues to impress every time out. Vargas is scheduled for a six-round super lightweight bout against an opponent to be named soon.

Also featured is decorated Irish amateur, light heavyweight “MIGHTY” JOE WARD (Westmeath, Ireland, 4-1, 2KO’s). Ward’s renowned amateur career speaks for itself, racking up the medals, winning gold at the European Championships in 2011, 2015 and 2017, silver at the World Championships in 2015 and 2017, and representing Ireland at the 2016 Olympic Games. In his professional debut against Marco Delgado, Ward fell victim to a freak accident, dislocating his kneecap in the second round rendering him unable to continue. Since then, Ward has rallied four consecutive wins, including a revenge win in a rematch against Delgado on March 18, 2021. Ward will take on Brazilian LEANDRO “BUSCAPE” SILVA (Woburn, MA, 3-4, 2KO’s) over a six-round light heavyweight scrap. Ward is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and managed by Times Square Boxing Co.

A highly anticipated grudge match has captured a lot of local attention, as Bronx-native LOUIS “IL MARTELLO” MAIETTA (0-0-1) returns against his nemesis PEREZ AUGHTRY (Cheektowaga, NY 0-2-1) after their first meeting was scored a draw at “Rockin’ Fights 39” in September. This entertaining rematch will be over four rounds in the light heavyweight division.

Undefeated Italian Canadian AMANDA “BAMBOLA” GALLE (4-0) will square off against Haitian JAICA PAVILUS (Manhattan, NY, 1-3-1, 1KO) over a six-round super bantamweight contest. Galle, a three-time Canadian National champion and four-time Ringside National champion as an amateur, captured the Canadian Women’s Super Bantamweight title in January of 2020. Galle is co-promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Lee Baxter Promotions.

Brooklyn-based Lebanese super middleweight NADIM SALLOUM (5-1, 3KO’s) will make his second appearance at The Paramount, where he suffered his lone defeat in February of 2020. He has since rebounded with four straight wins, most recently scoring a fourth-round stoppage on October 8, 2021. Salloum will face an opponent to be named in a six-round bout.

Finally, Queens, NY, super middleweight ISAAH “ZAY” FLAHERTY (2-0, 1KO) and Brentwood, Long Island’s super lightweight PRINCE SLAUGHTER (1-0, 1KO) will be in respective four-round contests with opponents to be named soon.
