DBE kicked off the 2012 season of "Broadway Boxing" before a
sold-out crowd that on January 21 with a thrilling night of
action-packed fights that had a little bit of everything,
including knockouts, wars, and upsets. Now DBE looks to keep
the momentum rolling in its ninth consecutive season of the
popular boxing series by putting on what promises to be
another exciting event headlined by the explosive crossroads
matchup between Perez and Figueroa.
Perez last saw action as the opening bout of the January 21
card, scoring a vicious second-round TKO over Josh Sosa
(10-1). Prior to that victory, Perez had been out of action
for over seven months recovering from a hand injury. With
the hand now completely healed, Perez will look to begin his
climb up the ranks of the welterweight division, but he must
first take care of business against the extremely dangerous
Figueroa.
The Bronx-native Figueroa, a former New York State and NABF
light welterweight champion, has been a staple of the New
York boxing scene since his amateur days. Figueroa will be
returning to the ring for the first time since November
2009, as he embarks on another run toward a world
championship.
Also scheduled to see action on the card is Queens-native,
four-time NY Golden Gloves champion Will Rosinsky (14-1,
8KO's), DBE prospects Tor Hamer (13-1, 9KO's) and Luis Rosa
(9-0, 5KO's), as well as an eight-round junior middleweight
showdown between undefeated up-and-coming prospects Delen
"The Sniper" Parsley (6-0, 2KO's) and Boyd "Rainmaker"
Melson (8-0, 4KO's). A complete list of the undercard will
be announced shortly.
Tickets are priced at $100, $75, and $55 (general
admission), and are available by calling the DiBella
Entertainment office at (212) 947-2577. Doors open at 6:30PM
with the first bout scheduled for 7:30PM.
