Wiggins vs. Bryant II in Vegas One of boxing’s fastest-rising promoters, Joe DeGuardia of Star Boxing, will return tomorrow night (June 26) for yet another sellout show, this time at the Silverton Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event is a rematch to an exciting 2002 ESPN2 fight between heavyweights Robert Wiggins, 18-3-1 (11) and Derek Bryant, 17-2 (14). “I’m looking forward to this main event,” said DeGuardia. “Robert has trimmed down, he has a renewed dedication and mentally he is ‘there’ now more than ever.” Bryant won the first encounter via a cut after an entertaining slugfest. In the co-feature, tough super welterweight Andrey Tsurkan will take on durable trialhorse Joshua Smith.


*****On the undercard, UFC competitor Marvin “The Beast” Eastman will make his pro debut as a boxer against Willie Broadie in a heavyweight four-rounder. Also scheduled are Monika Nunez (vs. undefeated Shelly Burton) and one other fight that is still TBD. The main bouts of the show will be broadcast via tape delay throughout the Tri-State area on New York Cablevision channel Metro at the end of July. “I’m exited to be here, I think the fights will fit right in with the Silverton, which has ‘old west’ theme and these fights will reflect that theme because these are some rugged guys that have come out west to fight,” said DeGuardia.
