Newark’s Alex “The Brick City Bullet” Perez will be headlining the event, looking to improve upon his unblemished 9-0 (6 KO) record. It won’t be easy though, as he faces the toughest test of his young career in Rochester, NY’s Russell Jordan. Jordan, with a record of 15-6 (10 KO), holds an edge in level of competition, having faced the likes of Luis Collazo, Sergio Martinez and James Kirkland in recent years.
Perez has earned his stripes working as a sparring partner for Miguel Cotto, Joel Julio and Felix Sturm and was a top-rated amateur with numerous tournament wins. This southpaw vs. southpaw shootout has “war” written all over it.

Noriko Kariya, 9-3-1 (2 KO) of Jersey City,NJ is primed to become one of female boxing’s breakout stars. Her next assignment is tough Nancy Bonilla of Camuy, Puerto Rico. Kariya, the younger sister of NHL legend Paul Kariya, is a two-fisted banger who is never in a boring fight.
Victor Valenzuela, 4-0 (1 KO) from Passaic, NJ will resume his string of rugged challenges as he faces Daniel Lorenzana, 4-3-1 (2 KO) of Miami, FL by way of Ciales, Puerto Rico in a four round featherweight matchup.

In an intriguing heavyweight matchup, Tyyab Beale, 1-1 (1 KO) of Jersey City will face Dwayne McRae, 3-0 (3 KO) from Laurel, Maryland.
