Star Boxing announced an October 1st show at the Paramount in Huntington, New York. The main event is set for ten rounds of cruiserweight action between Ukrainian-born, Pittsburgh-residing Lyubomyr Pinchuk (14-3, 8 KOs) and Brooklyn, New York’s Joel Shojgreen (13-3, 12 KOs).  Pinchuk is coming off a decision loss in April against Simone “Tyson” Federici. Now, Pinchuk is setting his sights on a bounce-back victory. “There is no looking back. I’ve taken the past few months to get stronger and faster,” said Pinchuk. “I’m excited to make my return to the ring this October and start making a move up the cruiserweight rank.”

Making the transition from the octagon to the squared circle, mixed martial artist John Gotti III will make his pro debut as a professional boxer.

Gotti had this to say about the fight: “After almost a two-year layoff I look forward to getting back to competing at a high-level and showing up for my fans who always show up for me.”

 

“We are excited to be back at The Paramount on October 1st with an action-packed card,” said Star Boxing CEO Joe DeGuardia. “Pinchuk and Shojgreen have a lot on the line. Bordoy and Rabei are in a 50/50 fight. John Gotti III makes his highly anticipated pro (boxing) debut following a successful MMA career. This card really has something for everyone. Don't wait to get your tickets as we expect a sell out!"
