LINCOLN, CA (March 4, 2025) – Undefeated super welterweight prospect, Dante Kirkman (3-0, 1 KO), a senior at Stanford University, is set to return to the ring on March 8 in a four-round bout against Jose Cruz of El Monte, CA. The fight will take place at The Venue at Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, CA, as part of the highly anticipated “Thunder Showdown II” event, promoted by Nasser Niavaroni of Uppercut Boxing Promotions.

“I have immense respect for the men and women who have served our country,” said Kirkman. “Their sacrifices allow us to pursue our dreams, and I want to show my appreciation by giving them an exciting night of boxing. It’s an absolute honor to have these veterans in attendance. Their courage and dedication should be an inspiration to us all, and I’m looking forward to giving them a great show in the ring.”

“We are thrilled to be attending Dante’s fight and are grateful for his generosity,” stated George Alves of the American Legion Post #264 on attending Kirkman’s fight with his members. “It’s inspiring to see a young athlete like him recognizing the sacrifices of our veterans. We’ll be cheering him on every step of the way.”

“I’m incredibly grateful to Nasser Niavaroni and Uppercut Boxing Promotions for not only supporting my career but also helping me recognize and honor our veterans,” concluded Kirkman. “His support means a lot, and I’m ready to make the most of this opportunity.”
