There have been many classic fights at the Mohegan Sun and on February 13 we plan on adding to the great tradition." "We are excited and honored to collaborate with Artie Pelullo and Banner Promotions," said Jimmy Burchfield, President of CES Boxing. "Artie is a dear friend of mine and one of the true gentlemen in the sport of boxing. Few promoters work harder or go to such great lengths to nurture and develop talent from all over the world. In an era where the entertainment dollar is stretched thin and fighters are ducking challenges left and right, Artie remains old school, building his foundation through hard-fought, competitive fights that give the ticket-buyer tremendous value for every dollar they spend. What he has done in such tumultuous times for our sport is remarkable and it's an incredible thrill to be working alongside him on what will be an epic event February 13th. You will see the best of both worlds -- boxing's marquee talent along with the rising stars of the northeast. No one knows this market better than Banner Promotions and CES Boxing. This will be a must-see event."
