Headlining the card is top welterweight contender “Speedy” Rashidi Ellis (24-1, 15 KOs) who will box at home for the first time in 10 years against Argentina’s Brian Chaves (14-5, 5 KOs). 

Ellis, the fighting pride of Lynn, MA, is fresh off leading the Boston Butchers to the semi-finals of the Team Combat League’s second year.  Rashidi was 11-1 during the season and faced several tough opponents, including Quadir Albright and Jahyae Brown.

In Chaves, Ellis is battling an experienced fighter who has shared the ring with the likes of Chordale Booker, Vaughn Alexander and former world title challenger Jeremias Ponce.

In the co-feature, WBC USA Silver Middleweight Champion Francis “Frank the Tank” Hogan (17-0, 15 KOs) takes a major step up in class when he takes on former world title challenger Elvin Ayala (29-13-1, 13 KOs). 

The undercard is stacked with many of the best prospects fighting out of the Boston area.  Unbeaten Super Middleweight Tommy Hyde (9-0, 6 KOs) of Cork, Ireland, collides with German strongman Aro “Thunder” Schwartz (23-9-1, 15 KOs). 

Two of CES Boxing’s most recent signees will also see action, as Nashua, NH’s Michael Fontanez (9-0, 5 KOs) takes on Bruno Romay (22-14, 19 KOs) in a jr. middleweight contest and Marshfield, MA’s Joe Bush (4-0, 4 KOs) battles 15-fight veteran Keenan Raymond in a welterweight slugfest. 

Rounding out the card is power punching Dorchester lightweight Tevin Regis (4-0, 3 KOs) who looks to stay undefeated against Yeison Berdugo (0-1) and fan favorite Matt “The Mantis” Doherty (9-9-1, 5 KOs) of Danvers, MA, who will be in a firefight against Eric Palmer (15-18-5, 3 KOs).
