New York, November 21-- DiBella Entertainment's New York stalwarts will cap off the year in the season's finale of Broadway Boxing Presented by Turning Stone Resort & Casino when they hit the ring on "Season's Beatings" Thursday night, December 15, at the Grand Ballroom at the Manhattan Center.
The announcement was made today by promoter Lou DiBella at Prime Grill restaurant in Manhattan. Unbeaten Dmitriy "Star of David" Salita will headline the card. The Brooklyn hero Salita (23-0, 14 KO's) will be looking to extend his professional unbeaten streak to 24 straight wins in the main event. The New York Golden Gloves champion has rattled off 23 consecutive wins in the pro ranks, including five in a row here in the Big Apple. In his latest score on August 25, Salita captured the NABA light welterweight championship by downing Shawn Gallegos with a ninth round TKO.
Spanish Harlem standout Edgar "El Chamaco" Santana (15-2, 10 KO's), and his sizzling style will be showcased in the co-feature. The Puerto Rican standout fighting out of New York City has relished the home cooking, reeling off six straight on DiBella Entertainment's popular Broadway Boxing series to extend his unbeaten streak to 10 in a row. The Latin star has improved with every outing, and the locals have taken a strong liking to his hard work in the ring.
The knockout artistry of Brownsville's Curtis "Showtime" Stevens will also be among the holiday gifts for fight fans. Staten Island featherweight Gary Stark, Jr. will also be in action.
Tickets are priced at $150, $100, $80, $60 and $40, and are available by calling DiBella Entertainment at 212-947-2577. Broadway Boxing Presented by Turning Stone Resort and Casino will air on a later date on MSG Network in New York, Fox Sports Net New England, Comcast Sportsnet Chicago and HDNET.
Along with Turning Stone Resort and Casino, the site and title sponsor, Broadway Boxing is also sponsored by HBO Sports, Locatestock.com and Gallagher's Steak House, as well as Prime Grill for the season-ending card.
