On Thursday September 16th, Star Boxing and The Empire Sports and Entertainment will present an exciting and entertaining night of professional boxing at the New York City’s famous and luxurious Capitale located in downtown Manhattan. Headlining the card will be the newest addition to Star Boxing’s growing stable, Huntington’s undefeated, Chris Algieri (10-0, 5KO’s), as he takes on upset-minded Martin Tucker (7-6, 3KO’s) in an eight round jr. welterweight contest.
“We are excited to be bringing a night of thrilling boxing entertainment to the Capitale with The Empire,” stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO and President of Star Boxing. “It is always great to do shows in NYC and The Capitale is a premier banquet hall that provides for classic boxing. We expect a sellout, so get your tickets early!”
“I am thrilled to be working with my good friend Joe DeGuardia on Capitale Punishment II,” stated Greg Cohen, President and Founder of The Empire Sports and Entertainment. “We are going to put on a terrific show and expect to pack the house once again. The New York fans definitely won’t want to miss this event.”
CHRIS ALGIERI
STAR BOXING
Regarding the card, DeGuardia said, “We are excited to be featuring our newest signee Chris Algieri on the card. Being from Long Island, Chris has begun to develop a large following throughout New York, and we expect an exciting performance out of him come September 16th. We are also going to be loading the undercard with some of the tri-state area’s hottest up and coming talent, making it a night of boxing you certainly will not want to miss.”
Algieri is coming off a six round unanimous decision over James Hope in his last outing earlier this year. Algieri turned pro boxer in 2008, after an extensive and successful career as a kick boxer. After winning the USKBA Northeast Championship as an amateur, Algieri turned pro at just 19-years-old, and went on to win the WKA Super Welterweight World Championship just two years later. Algieri ended his kick boxing career as the undefeated, undisputed kick boxing world champion, in not one, but two weight divisions. Now with the backing of Star Boxing, the ‘model handsome’ Algieri is looking to start making some noise in the loaded jr. welterweight division.
The 30-year-old Tucker, who hails from Ohio, is a tough brawler who has only been stopped once in his career. Tucker is two fights removed from his career best victory, an upset unanimous decision victory over previously unbeaten Michael Torres (13-0, 7KO’s). Tucker also holds a win over once beaten Rashad Holloway who battled to draw in his last bout with former NABF and New York State light welterweight champion, Francisco Figuerora.
A complete undercard will be announced shortly. Tickets are currently on sale and are being priced at $200, **$150**, and $50. Tickets may be purchased by calling Star Boxing at (718)823-2000. **For information on discounted $150 seats for advanced purchase call now!** For more information visit www.starboxing.com or www.theempirese.com.
