“I saw Khedafi fight in France when we had Vinny Maddalone fight Jean Marc Mormeck and I was very impressed,” stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO of Star Boxing. “Both Mezaache and Khedafi have very fan friendly styles, and know how to excite an audience every time they step into the ring. We are very much looking forward to showcasing both of these guys in their U.S. debuts for the Atlantic City fans, and for the rest of those watching on PPV throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, and the other locations where the bout will air around the world, including in their home country of France whereby their fans can watch them on Orange TV.”
