Star Boxing returns to Long Island this Friday

Star Boxing held its official press conference ahead of its Long Island, New York show at The Paramount, this Friday, July 19th.  In the main event, Danny "El Gallo" Gonzalez is set to make his tenth appearance at The Paramount, and fight in his fourth main event.  Danny had this to say about Friday night's bout against Jerome Conquest: "I want to thank Joe for having me on the card.  I am excited for Friday. The energy at The Paramount is one of a kind and brings something out in me.  I'm looking to make a statement and that's my goal in this fight." Danny continued speaking on his childhood, "I'm looking to make a statement and that's my goal in this fight.  Anyone can do anything in life. I was 250 lbs., fat and out of shape with no self-esteem.  I used that as fuel, and I am here today, and I am doing pretty good right now."
 
In the co-feature, undefeated junior midleweight Tyrone James will be making his eighth appearance at The Paramount in a six-round bout against Ray Oliveira Jr.  James is ready to bring the energy Friday night, saying,, "Since we are still in July there is going to be fireworks.  I'm coming for the knockout and if it happens it happens, but I promise you will see a great show. I want to thank God, Star Boxing and Joe DeGuardia for this opportunity."
 
Finally, super bantamweight Justice Bland took to the podium. Bland will be making his pro debut against Bronx native, Rafael Castillo in a four-round bout.  As an amateur standout, Bland was not shy about the feeling of making his pro debut, "I have jitters, but they are good jitters.  I am ready to show everyone what I have.  I am a Brooklyn kid, and I am just happy to be on this card and I am blessed to be here."
 
In the opening bout of the night, Juan Mancilla of East Hampton will be taking on Jermaine Corley of Mount Vernon in a four-round super welterweight bout. Also on the card, is the return of  amateur standout Ronnie Austion, who will be in a welterweight Championship against Dennis Okoth.
