Dimitry “Star of David” Salita (21-0-12KO’s) will make his fourth appearance on the Big Apple stage when he headlines Dibella Entertainment’s Broadway Boxing presented by the Mohegan Sun this Thursday night, June 9th, at the Grand Ballroom at the Manhattan Center on 34 St. in New York City.
Salita, a native of Odessa, Ukraine, now fighting out of Brooklyn, will square off against Louis Brown (14-1-10KO) of Indianapolis in the main event.
I had the opportunity to have an exclusive one on one conversation with this serious and very intelligent young man.
BoxingScene.com: Hello Dimitry, how have you been feeling?
Dimitry: I’m feeling good I just got back from training camp in the Poconos this Saturday. I had a lot of good work, hard training and sparring. I’m just looking forward to Thursday.
BoxingScene.com: Hector Roca is still your trainer?
Dimitry: Yes
BoxingScene.com: Have you been sparring with any known boxers?
Dimitry: Yes, before I went up to camp I boxed at Gleason’s gym and boxed 25-30 rounds there with Lansana Diallo, a middleweight from Belgium. He just had a tough fight with Ray Joval. When I went to camp I boxed with Edgar Santana. He is 13-1. He is also fighting Thursday night. Also Jorge Teron (former NY Golden Glove champ), they all gave me good quality work. [details]
