Boxing Insider Promotions has quickly gained a reputation for hosting thrilling and competitive boxing matches where anything can happen. The company recently made waves with their inaugural show at the Tropicana Atlantic City on May 11, and they are gearing up to do it all over again on Friday, July 26. Led by Atlantic City native and CEO Larry Goldberg, Boxing Insider Promotions is planning to deliver their best card yet, promising an evening of top-tier boxing entertainment on the iconic Boardwalk.
Headlining the July 26th event is world-rated heavyweight contender, Otto Wallin. With an impressive record of 26-2, including 14 knockouts, Wallin is on a quest for a shot at a world title. Ranked #11 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and #16 by the World Boxing Council (WBC), he is a force to be reckoned with in the ring. His opponent, Onoriode Ehwarieme, hailing from Warri, Nigeria, is a towering figure at 6’7″ and carries the fitting nickname of “Godzilla.” With a remarkable 95-percent knockout rate in his victories, Ehwarieme is a formidable challenger for Wallin.
Returning to the ring is junior middleweight Justin Figueroa, also known as “Mr. Atlantic City.” Figueroa, a local favorite, has been making waves both in boxing and on the football field. Known for his post-fight celebrations that involve the iconic “Worm” dance, Figueroa is sure to entertain the crowd once again. Joining the lineup is all-action knockout artist Jacob Solis, who boasts a perfect record of 4-0, all by knockout. Solis, a fan favorite in New York and Atlantic City, has yet to let any opponent go beyond two rounds.
The event will also feature the next generation of fighters, including Bruce Seldon Jr., son of former World Boxing Association (WBA) World heavyweight champion Bruce Seldon. Making his mark with a perfect knockout in his professional debut, Seldon Jr. is poised for a bright future in boxing. Fans can also look forward to seeing Brooklyn’s Jason Castanon, who impressed with a knockout victory in his pro debut, take on the talented Arveontae Dukes in a four-round junior welterweight bout.
In addition to the action-packed fights, fans at the Tropicana will have the chance to meet boxing legend Micky Ward, who has a storied history in Atlantic City with memorable bouts against Arturo Gatti. A special four-round super middleweight attraction will showcase the skills of Marco “El Tiburon” Romero, an amateur standout with an impressive record. Romero, who has already made a name for himself in the amateur ranks, is set to dazzle the audience with his professional debut.
As the event draws near, more updates on the fight card are expected, so be sure to stay tuned for any exciting developments. Witness the thrill of live boxing at its finest as Boxing Insider Promotions delivers another knockout event in Atlantic City. Card subject to change, but the promise of action-packed fights remains constant. Get ready for a night of explosive matchups and unforgettable moments in the ring.
