The Vine Theater at del Lago Resort & Casino in Waterloo, New York will host an evening of boxing on Thursday evening, October 30th. The card will feature five professional and six amateur fights, with tickets going on sale this Friday. Fans must be 21 years or older to attend. The show will be presented by Rising Star Promotions, with junior welterweight Bryce Mills, riding a thirteen-fight win streak scheduled to headline against an opponent to be named later.
Mills, of nearby Liverpool, New York will have his large loyal fanbase on hand as he puts his record of 19-1, 7 K0s, on the line. The 24-year old will be making his maiden headline appearance and his first time scheduled for 10 rounds. He is coming off a first-round knockout over former amateur standout Aaron Aponte, of Hialeah, FL, last June 6th in Verona, New York. Included in his win streak are victories over Daiyaan Butt, of Philadelphia; Jonathan de Pina, of Boston; Gerffred Ngayot, of Buffalo; Mike Ohan Jr., of Holbrook, MA, and Alex Martin, of Chicago. Including Aponte, the combined record of those six men was 77-14-1.
Mills has boxed in Rock Hill, SC; Philadelphia, PA; Bensalem, PA; Wroclaw, Poland, and Atlantic City, NJ, but never in the main event. "I'm very excited to headline my first card so close to home," Mills said. "This is something I used to dream about as a kid and now it's a reality. With the Vine Theater only seating 1,500 people, you better not wait as this surely will sell out."
