“Halloween Havoc” in
Yonkers - O’Shea Brothers Boxing Oct. 30
October 17, 2009
YONKERS, N.Y. – No trick or treatin’,
ghosts, ghouls or vampires -- just a night of exciting, competitive pro
boxing on tap Halloween Eve (Oct. 30) at the Yonkers Armory.
“Halloween Havoc,” featuring some of New York’s most promising
prospects, is being presented by O’Shea Brothers Boxing Promotions.
“We’re bringing old-school boxing back to the fans,” promoter Brian
O’Shea said. “We’re showcasing a lot of young, talented fighters on this
card. We have real fighters, not guys fighting easy, hand-picked
opponents.”
Puerto Rican heavyweight Alexis Mejias (10-1, 4 KOs), fighting out of
Paterson, New Jersey, headlines against Josh Harris (3-3-1, 2 KOs) in
the 6/8 round main event.
In the 6-round co-feature, Bronx featherweights, “Crazy” Eddie Irizarry
(7-1, 2 KOs) and Joey Arroyo (2-1, 0 KOs) throw-down for neighborhood
bragging rights.
Unbeaten African welterweight Issouf Kinda (5-0, 3 KOs) fights an
opponent to be determined in a 6-rounder, while two 1-0 bantamweights
with a common past, Raul Lopez (1-0, 1 KO) and Jose “Chilli” Rivera
(1-0, 0 KOs), rekindle their rivalry in a 6-round match.
Also on the undercard in 4-round bouts is super middleweight Shqiprim “
White Tiger” Muriqi (1-0, 0 KOs) vs. Fasika Bezabeth, light middleweight
Lambros “Lionheart” Karaolides (3-0, 2 KOs) vs. TBA, pro debuting
heavyweight Adam Kownacki vs. TBA, pro debuting lightweights Michael
Brooks and Jamel Brown, super featherweight Angel “Terror” Torres
(1-3-2, 1 KO) vs. Takeshi Sato in his pro debut. All fights and fighters
are subject to change.
“It’s going to be a great night of boxing,” O’Shea noted. “We have two
1-0 kids, Lopez and Rivera, fighting each other again. They fought three
times in the New York Golden Gloves with Lopez winning twice. Kinda’s a
solid prospect, ‘Crazy’ Eddie’s only loss in eight pro fights was a
close decision, and Kownacki is a 2-time New York Golden Gloves
champion.”
