Sena Agbeko-Bryan Vera Headlines 'Beatdown in the Boro' December 8 PhilBoxing.com Wed, 17 Oct 2018 Nashville, TN (October 16, 2018) ? Tri-Star Boxing Promotions will host Murfreesboro, TN?s first pro boxing card in more than a quarter century when they present ?Beatdown in the Boro? Saturday, December 8 at The Mid-TN Expo Center. Doors open at 6 pm and tickets for ?Beatdown in the Boro? will be on sale shortly at Tristarboxing.com. Headlining is an intriguing eight round super middleweight showdown between Nashville?s Sena ?African Assassin? Agbeko and longtime contender Bryan Vera of Austin, TX. Originally from Accra, Ghana, the heavy-handed Agbeko?s outstanding professional record is 21-1 with 18 wins by knockout. In March, Agbeko outpointed Lawrence Blakey in Nashville and made it known he was eager to take on tougher opposition. Since defeating Blakey, Agbeko?s spent time training with many of the world?s top fighters in Las Vegas.

His professional ledger is 26-13 with 16 wins by knockout and he?s been on boxing?s biggest stage multiple times.

The tough Texan also shared the squared circle with James Kirkland, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (twice), Willie Monroe Jr., Matt Korobov and Rocky Fielding among others.

We?re expecting to see the best Sena Agbeko to date but he?s still in for a tough fight.? Murfreesboro?s Rydell ?Super? Mayes, 1-0 (1 KO), will face an opponent to be named in a four round heavyweight contest.
