Holt out with injury; Minto-Batchelder new ESPN main event!

Kendall Holt injured his hand in sparring forcing him to the sidelines, so Duva Boxing and Star Boxing have quickly put together an action-packed heavyweight brawl for the main event on Rumble at the Trop set for Friday night, June 9, at the Tropicana Casino And Resort in Atlantic City, NJ.  Brian “The Beast” Minto, on the verge of major contender status in the heavyweight ranks, will square off against Danny Batchelder, another top up and comer. ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights will televise the 10-round heavyweight affair. Minto, the pride of Butler, PA, and Batchelder, a Saratoga, NY native now fighting out of Phoenix, AZ, have amazingly put forth identical 24-1 career ring records, as they both  look to ascend the heavyweight ranks. Minto, fresh off a Friday Night Fights win over Billy Zumbrun, has 14 career knockouts, and is riding the crest of a six fight win streak. Batchelder, a winner of  four straight, has 11 career KO's.
