Ritehook Promotions brings boxing back to Gulf with Family Fight Night

PhilBoxing.com


Biloxi, MS (April 30, 2015) ? On Saturday evening when most of the boxing world is glued to the TV watching the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao superfight, those in the Mississippi Gulf will have the chance to not only witness the historic bout but also enjoy top notch talent before their own eyes.

Live at the Hard Rock Hotel in Biloxi, Ritehook Promotions will proudly present ?Sweet Science 3?. The event is open to children of all ages but all minors must be accompanied by an adult over 30. With a number of promoters coming and going in the Gulf Coast, Ritehook Promotions CEO William Hunter is committed to boxing?s comeback in the Magnolia State.

Headlining this family friend event will be a showdown between highly touted Radivoje ?Hod Rod? Kalajdzic and local spoiler William Johnson. Kalajdzic?s been perfect thus far as a pro, compiling a record of 17-0 but will be tested by a 50-plus fight veteran who has faced many top opponents.

In the semi-main event, Ritehook Promotions prospect Manny ?Shake Em? Up? Woods will try to take another step towards contention when he squares off against granite chinned Aaron Anderson. The fearless Woods has a solid 12-3-1 professional ledger and is eager to fight the best.

Tony Johnson Jr. meets grizzled veteran Marvin Hunt over four rounds in a heavyweight special attraction bout. The Nashville, TN based Johnson is 1-0 as a boxer but is best known as a top MMA fighter in the Bellator organization.

Fans will also get to enjoy separate bouts featuring Mike Bissett, Joey Bryant, Cameron Springer and Tom Howard.

?Boxing?s popularity is on the rise overall and with Mayweather-Pacquiao taking place the same night as our card, the interest on Saturday, May 2 will be at an all-time high,? said Hunter. ?Ritehook Promotions is based out of this area and we have a great relationship not only with the community and venue, but the fighters we?re promoting. Those who come out to the Hard Rock Saturday evening will get to see talented fighters in Radivoje Kalajdzic, Manny Woods and Mike Bissett plus the man that I consider the biggest sleeper prospect in boxing Tony Johnson Jr.?

?Tony is a top rated MMA fighter and is 1-0 as a boxer. I truly believe he?s the Bo Jackson of Boxing. The goal is to get him a title fight by the time he?s 10-0 and make him the first dual sport champion. If you haven?t already done so, get your tickets now because we?re almost sold out!?

Tickets start at just $35 and can be purchased on Ticketmaster.com, at the Hard Rock Box Office or by calling 228-217-5555. All ticketholders are invited to stay at the Hard Rock following the live fights and watch Mayweather-Pacquiao on a 35-foot screen.
