On August 9th, "Punch-Out at Polar Park II”, presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP) will feature boxers in the Bay State of Massachusetts at the second boxing event ever held at beautiful Polar Park in Worcester. The Greg Hill Foundation will receive a portion of the proceeds to continue improving the lives of local families in need. A pair of undefeated rivals, Denzel “Double Impact” Whitley (14-0, 8 KOs) and Anthony “Vicious” Viera (5-0, 4 KOs), are matched in the eight-round welterweight main event. Whitley, fighting out of Holyoke (MA), will face an in-state rival, Viera  who is from Fall River (MA). Also on the show, local cruiserweight Demek “Hightower” Edmunds (9-0, 7 KOs), a three-time New England Golden Gloves Champion, is matched against Jose Armando Martinez (4-8, 1 KO), of Mexico, in a six-rounder.

“We are excited to come back to Polar Park,” promoter Chuck Shearns said. “Last year’s event exceeded all expectations and this year’s will be bigger and better. The energy and atmosphere at this venue is unlike another. Last year’s ‘Punch-Out at Polar Park was a smashing success with smiles on everyone’s faces and fantastic feedback all around,” Ball added. We’re gearing up for an even more epic event this year. We’ve fine-tuned prices, opened up luxurious suites for the ultimate experience, and expanded into the clubhouse level for maximum excitement. Let’s make memories together!”
