Star Boxing returns to The Paramount in Huntington, New York on Saturday, February 28th, bringing another night of professional boxing to Long Island’s premier fight venue. Headlining in a ten-round middleweight bout, New York’s Jahi Tucker (15-1-1, 6 KOs) makes his Paramount debut, facing Minnesota’s battle-tested Sona Akale (10-4, 5 KOs). Also featured on the card,  Long Island's U.S. Marine veteran, and Hofstra University master’s student Peter Latorre (5-0, 5 KOs) puts his perfect 100% KO ratio on the line in a six-round welterweight showdown against Uruguay’s Jose Edgardo Perdomo (10-9-0, 6 KOs). Perdomo is coming off a knockout upset of a previously undefeated boxer at the Paramount and has proven he has the power to end fights early.

 

Adding to the night’s fireworks, Polish heavyweight Piotr Lacz (14-0-1, 10 KOs) brings his unbeaten record to The Paramount for an eight-round heavyweight clash against New Orleans’ hard-hitting challenger Dominique "Giant Killer"Valera (9-1-2, 5 KOs) in a collision of size, power, and momentum.

 

Kicking off the action, Huntington’s own knockout artist Ralph Clemente (2-0, 2 KOs) returns to his hometown crowd in a four-round bout, taking on Spanaway, Washington’s Thomas Turner (1-1).

 

In a four-round welterweight bout, Queens’ fan favorite David Malul (4-0, 2 KOs) looks to keep his undefeated run alive. Tickets for Rockin’ Fights 53 are available now at: StarBoxing.com, Ticketmaster.com or through The Paramount Box Office.
