Rumble at the Hilton Rye
Town II Undercard Announced
October 17, 2009
On Wednesday October 21st, Joe
DeGuardia's Star Boxing presents its second installment of Rumble at the
Hilton Rye Town at the Hilton Rye Town Hotel in Rye Brook, NY.
Headlining the card will be former number one light heavyweight
contender David Telesco (30-6-1, 25KO) taking on former two- time world
champion Byron Mitchell (27-5-1, 20KO). In addition to the main
event, there will be five exciting undercard bouts, featuring two former
armed forces representatives and also including three undefeated
prospects.
U.S. MARINE/REALITY TV SHOW STAR IN
CO-FEATURE
Fighting in one of the feature bouts of the evening is Yonkers fan
favorite, Jon Schneider (7-3-1, 5KO) as he squares off against 1996
Guyana Olympian John Douglas (6-13-3, 3KO) in a six round cruiserweight
match-up. Schneider, who is a former U.S. Marine, who served four years
of active duty, was most recently seen participating as one of the
Star's on the hit reality show "The Contender" Season 4.
SCOTLAND INVADES WESTCHESTER
In what is sure to be the toughest fight in his young pro career, Star
Boxing's exciting Scottish heavyweight Ian Millarvie (7-0, 5KO) will
take on veteran brawler Terrell "Baby Bull" Nelson (8-9, 5KO) in a four
round heavyweight special attraction. For Millarvie, it will be just the
second time in his career he has fought in the United States, and it
will come against the always game Nelson, who is coming off a spirited
effort decision loss to fellow Star Boxing heavyweight, and 2004 U.S.
Olympic Team Captain, Devin Vargas.
ISRAELI CREW COMMANDER RETURNS TO RYE
Making his second straight appearance at the Hilton Rye Town Hotel, will
be former Israeli Navy Crew Commander, all-action brawler, Eilon Kedem
(9-2-4, 6KO) taking on Julio Valadez (3-6-1). The bout scheduled for six
round in the super bantamweight division. Kedem fought on Star Boxing's
first installment of Rumble at the Hilton Rye Town, earning a draw
against Robert DaLuz in what many considered to be the fight of the
night, as both warriors stood toe-to-toe for the entire eight round
fight, having the packed crowd in attendance on the edge of their seats
and standing and applauding for each and every round.
FORMER YANKEE RETURNS FROM THREE-YEAR HIATUS
Also on the card, returning from a three-year hiatus from the ring, is
former New York Yankee's second round draft pick, and former University
of Florida defensive back, Richard Brown (4-0, 2KO). Brown will take on
New York City's own Andrew Hutchinson (2-11-2) in a four round
cruiserweight matchup. Brown was drafted in the 2nd round by the Yankees
in the 1995 draft. Brown played six years in the minors before being
called up in 2001. He spent thirty-three days on the big league roster
before hurting his shoulder. Brown will be looking to feed of his former
team's recent three-game sweep in the divisional playoffs as he looks to
get his boxing career back underway, and add another win to his unbeaten
record. Rounding out the card will be Stamford, Connecticut's Ahmad
Mickens (1-0) as he squares off against pro-debuting Todd Eriksson. The
bout is scheduled for four rounds in the light heavyweight division.
