Star Boxing has introduced the postponement of their extremely anticipated Rockin’ Fights fiftieth Anniversary Occasion from Thursday, February 13 to Saturday, March 22, 2025, at The Paramount NY.
“Sadly, Joe Smith Jr. has the flu which has progressed to pneumonia so we’ve rescheduled the date of the occasion” mentioned Joe DeGuardia, President and CEO of Star Boxing. “We want him a full and fast restoration and sit up for his principal occasion struggle in opposition to Devonte Williams on the rescheduled date for our Rockin’ Fights fiftieth Anniversary Occasion. The remainder of the cardboard stays intact for the brand new date of March twenty second”.
In an ironic twist, February 13 is a date that brings déjà vu to Joe Smith Jr. Joe’s world championship title struggle in opposition to Maxim Vlasov was initially set for February 13, 2021, on the MGM in Las Vegas. Vlasov was identified with covid thus suspending the matchup days earlier than the struggle. The struggle was rescheduled for 2 months later, and Joe Smith Jr. captured the coveted Mild Heavyweight World Championship defeating Vlasov in a memorable match on ESPN. So, whereas February 13 hasn’t been that good for the previous world champ, it did result in him turning into champion of the world, which is what Joe seeks now within the cruiserweight division.
Your entire undercard will even be moved to the brand new March 22, 2025 date. Along with Joe Smith Jr vs Devonte Williams, the March 22 present will function an thrilling undercard, together with undefeated Micky Scala vs Victor Toney, KO ‘King’ David Malul vs Shaquille Dashing, Undefeated Yan Carlos Perez vs Sean Brewer, and GI Joe Elzey vs Jordy Gonzalez in a battle of undefeated prospects.
All tickets bought for Rockin’ Fights 50 will likely be honored for the brand new date.
