Fiorentino headlines Jan. 26th card in Massachusetts

Press Release: Missy “The Fury” Fiorentino headlines a pro-am boxing show on January 26, 2007 at the Mansfield SportsPlex in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Fiorentino (16-1, 6 KOs) takes on rugged Ela “Bam Bam” Nunez (5-2, 1 KO) in the ten-round main event for the vacant IWBF super featherweight title. Fiorentino is a graduate of Roger Williams College and a Rhode Island Sheriff. The non-stop action fighter from Cranston (RI) is a former IWBF champion in two divisions, lightweight and featherweight. Puerto Rico-native Nunez, fighting out of Jamestown (NY), is a single mother of four who works fulltime to support her family. Three New England prospects are also on the card: New Hampshire cruiserweight Rich Gingras (7-0), super middleweight Mark “The Italian Bazooka” DeLuca (3-0), and Worcester middleweight Edwin Rodriguez (pro debut). “We’re going to have real fights on this card, competitive matches that will more than just satisfy the paying public,” promoter Peter Manfredo, Sr. said. Also on the show will be six amateur matches. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project assisting U.S. armed forces men and women severely injured during conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places around the world. Call 401.723.1359, 508.509.3236 or go to www.bashforcashllc.com to purchase tickets or for additional information.
