DBE Salita Undercard filled with NYC Products from Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx

Press release: DiBella Entertainment's Broadway Boxing Presented by Mohegan Sun will once again showcase a bevy of New York City stars on the rise in the seventh installment of the series which will be headlined by Brooklyn's Jewish unbeaten junior welterweight sensation Dmitriy Salita (19-0, 11 KO's) vs. Paul Delgado (12-4-1, 2 KO?s) on Thursday night, November 18, at the Grand Ballroom at Manhattan Center. 

In the co-featured attraction, Jeffrey Resto (17-2, 11 KO?s) of the Bronx will appear in an eight-round junior welterweight contest.

The borough of Queens will also be well represented with a trio of unbeaten knockout artists. Ehinomen "Hino" Ehikhamenor (8-0, 5 KO's) , fighting out of Queens by way of Nigeria, takes on Mark Miller (4-4-1, 2 KO's) in a six round cruiserweight affair, while Jaidon Coddington (4-0, 4 KO's), who has posted all four of his career victories by KO, squares off against Anthony Osborne (4-5-1, 1 KO) in a six-round super middleweight tilt. In addition, "Irish" John Duddy (5-0, 5 KO's), who originally hails from Derry, Ireland, is back in the Big Apple ring in a four-round junior middleweight bout.

The card has three other Brooklyn flag carriers to accompany Salita in the main event, and they too are all unbeaten. Lightning quick Curtis Stevens (2-0, 2 KO's) faces Ezzard Lowayne Cooper (3-1) in a four-round light heavyweight bout. The super middleweight Kevin Cruz (2-0, 1 KO) will take on Darrin Johnson (3-4, 3 KO's) in a four-rounder, while Raymond Biggs (1-0, 1 KO) will see action in a four-round welterweight fight.

The Broadway Boxing cards originate from venues in the five boroughs, the greater New York Metropolitan Tri-State area, and Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Mohegan Sun is the series site sponsor. Turner Construction, HBO Sports, and Gallagher's Steak House are also sponsors. The card will be broadcast at a later date on HDNet, Madison Square Garden Network, Fox Sports Net New England, Empire Sports Net and Comcast Sportnet Chicago.

The doors open at the Manhattan Center (311 West 34th Street) at 6:00 PM, and the first fight is at 7:00 PM. Tickets are priced at $75, $50, and $35 with special VIP floor tickets also available.
