Santana Headlines Tomorrow Night at the Grand Ballroom in NY
New York, NY —It’s fight week, and Spanish Harlem star Edgar "El Chamaco" Santana (19-2, 12 KO's) gets ready to take center stage in the main event against Meacher Major (11-2-1, 10 KO’s) this Wednesday night, November 15th, when DiBella Entertainment's Broadway Boxing Presented by StubHub returns to the Grand Ballroom at Manhattan Center in New York City.
The highly anticipated co-feature will pit Brownsville's Curtis "Showtime" Stevens (13-1, 11 KO's) in a rematch against Marcos Primera (20-15-2, 13 KO's) in an eight round super middleweight bout. Primera handed Dash-DiBella Promotion's Stevens' his only career setback in a controversial eighth round stoppage on July 20th.
A native of Manati, Puerto Rico, now fighting out of Spanish Harlem, Santana has become an exciting fixture on the New York circuit over the past two years. "El Chamaco" has reeled off 10 straight Broadway Boxing victories, all in impressive fashion, en route to 14 consecutive wins overall. Santana continued his winning streak on the September 20th Broadway Boxing Presented by StubHub card, downing a tough-minded Vladimir Khodokovski in a unanimous 10 round decision. Major presents Santana with his toughest test to date, as the hard-hitting Bahamian enters the ring with 11 victories, 10 by way of knockout.
In the co-feature, Stevens squares off against the tough-minded Primera, as he looks to get back on the winning track on his home turf. Primera handed Curtis his only career loss earlier this year in controversial eighth round stoppage.
The evening also will be highlighted by another appearance by Dash-DiBella Promotion's super middleweight Jaidon Codrington (12-1, 10 KO's), regarded as one of the top super middleweight prospects in the game. "The Don" has reeled off three straight victories and is ready to keep the streak alive when he faces Johnny Brooks (5-4-1, 3 KO's) of South Carolina.
New Jersey’s Noriko Kariya (5-1-1, 1 KO), the fighting sister of NHL superstar Paul Kariya, will see action as she takes on Elisha Olivas (5-4-1, 3 KO's) in a six round bantamweight bout. The undercard also includes Brooklyn’s Jamelle Hamilton (2-0, 2 KO's) against Ken Dunham (1-0, 1 KO) of Charlotte, NC in a four round junior middleweight contest; an all-Ohio battle featuring Cleveland standout Prenice Brewer (1-0-1, 1 KO) vs. Markel Muhammad (1-0) of Columbus; and Cleveland’s Willie Nelson (1-0, 1 KO) in a four round welterweight affair.
The excitement of Broadway Boxing's fights and the electricity of the crowds at the Manhattan Center have drawn the likes of celebrities and athletes such as Jay Z., Hilary Swank, Rosario Dawson, Fat Joe, Camron, Wladimir Klitschko, Lennox Lewis, Jermain Taylor, Ike Quartey, Ricky Hatton, Tiki Barber, Tracy McGrady, and Jim Courier to name a few.
Tickets are priced at $150, $100, $80, $60, and $40 for standing room only. Tickets are available by calling DiBella Entertainment at 212-947-2577.
