“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 14^th 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.

After putting on four events in the second half of last year, Swift Promotions will surge into 2025 with a loaded fight card all taking place at the classic Philadelphia venue known for boxing action. With a big 2025 in the works, Swift Promotions Founder Danny Garcia believes March 8 will set the tone for the year ahead.

“This is gonna be a can’t-miss night for Swift Promotions to kick off the year with on March 8 at 2300 Arena in Philly,” said boxing legend and Founder and CEO of Swift Promotions Danny Garcia. “We’ve got some of the best young talent in the world going into that ring and I can’t wait for them to display their skills.”

Now fighting out of New Jersey under the Swift Promotions banner, Puerto Rican contender Mathew Gonzalez is unbeaten since turning pro in 2017 and will look to continue his ascent up the 140-pound rankings on March 8. The 29-year-old has scored stoppage victories in five of his last six victories, with the only blemish in his pro career so far coming via a majority draw against Dakota Linger in October 2021. Gonzalez will return to the friendly confines of the 2300 Arena, where his last two victories took place. Those triumphs saw him stop Benjamin Lamptey in round two of their July 2024 clash, before he most recently scored another second-round stoppage, this time over Patrick Okine last September.

A 14-year professional, the likeable “Cornflake” LaManna has previously held the WBC FECARBOX and the New Jersey State Welterweight Championships and, in his most recent fight, captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) middleweight gold belt with a third-round knockout win over Juan Carlos Abreu in June 2024 at Bally’s Atlantic City. LaManna has won his last eight bouts, dating back to 2021.

Born in Iran and representing Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Nyousha Nakhjiri (1-0) was a prolific amateur who amassed a 45-10 record including a gold medal at the Haringey Box Cup, Europe’s largest open tournament. Her amateur run saw her ranked as the No. 1 flyweight on the Canadian National Team before she turned pro last May. The 27-year-old recently joined the Swift Promotions team after a successful pro debut that saw her defeat Frida Citlati Torres Rangel by decision last May.
