This highly anticipated event, titled "Hall of Fame Fight Night," will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN and is promoted in collaboration with ALL THE SMOKE FIGHT, the dynamic digital content platform led by boxing legend Andre Ward. As a burgeoning leader in the boxing world, Salita Promotions is committed to developing top-tier talent and delivering compelling narratives that resonate with fans. The partnership with ALL THE SMOKE FIGHT enhances the promotion’s ability to tell the stories of today’s boxing stars while celebrating the rich history of the sport. The event is headlined by USBA American heavyweight titlist Brandon Moore (17-1, 10 KOs), who will square off against the undefeated Stanley Wright (14-0, 11 KOs). Moore is entering the fight after a victory over previously undefeated Skylar Lacy, while Wright is coming off a major upset victory over previously undefeated heavyweight standout Jeremiah Milton. This clash pits two of the best rising American heavyweights, both eager to carve their names into boxing history. Moore, a standout from Florida and the 2019 Golden Gloves Champion, showcased his dominance in his last bout, which ended in a disqualification win. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s Wright, fresh off his stunning upset, is poised to seize the moment and challenge Moore’s momentum in this important American heavyweight showdown. “It’s a tremendous honor to bring Hall of Fame Fight Night to Turning Stone Resort Casino on June 6 to help launch the Boxing Hall of Fame’s Induction Weekend,” said Dmitriy Salita, president of Salita Promotions. “We are deeply committed to developing the next generation of champions — guiding fighters from the early stages to the world stage. This card has it all — world champions, top contenders, and rising prospects, all with world championship potential, matched in competitive fights. Partnering with ALL THE SMOKE FIGHT adds an exciting new dimension, giving fans a closer look at the inspiring personal journeys behind the athletes. The in-ring excitement, combined with the storytelling through our partnership with ATS FIGHT, will create a truly memorable event for boxing fans around the world.” Presale tickets for Turning Stone Rewards Card members are available starting tomorrow, Tuesday, May 6, at 10 a.m. ET at turningstone.com. Guests will have the option to upgrade their ticket for access to the Boxing Hall of Fame Lounge. This add-on will provide guests with exclusive access to the Lounge, which includes the opportunity to meet Boxing Hall of Fame inductees during the event. There are limited tickets available for the Boxing Hall of Fame Lounge Access upgrade. The DAZN televised card will also feature world-rated contenders and boxing’s hottest prospects, including U.S. Olympic Team Captain Joseph Hicks Jr. (12-0, 8 KOs). Hicks is fresh off a TKO victory over previously undefeated, highly touted Keon Papillion, looking to continue his ascent. In addition, national amateur champion Joshua James Pagan (12-0, 4 KOs) will face off against Lancaster, Pa.’s James Bernadin (13-2-1, 6 KOs). Pagan is one of Salita’s brightest prospects and is entering his fourth fight in just over a year. He continues to impress as he dispatches increasingly tough opposition. To date, Pagan has faced and beaten four undefeated fighters in and around the lightweight division. A WBA’s regional lightweight champion, Bernadin enters this co-feature bout on the strength of three straight victories. The 32-year-old Haitian native will make his first outing in 2025 against one of the fastest rising prospects in the sport. Also on the DAZN card is recently signed Salita Promotions champion Franchon Crews-Dezurn (9-2, 2 KOs), the reigning WBC and WBA Unified Super Middleweight World Champion, who will defend her titles against Mexico’s 2024 Olympian Citlalli Ortiz (4-1, 1 KO). The undercard will feature Puerto Rico’s first women’s Olympic boxer Ashleyann Lozada (1-0), highly touted Brooklyn, N.Y. heavyweight Pryce Taylor (7-0, 5 KOs), and Salita Promotions’ middleweight prospect Da’Velle Smith (11-0, 8 KOs) who has been routinely compared to Hall of Famer Tommy “The Hitman” Hearns for his poise, quiet confidence and significant punching power. Induction Weekend takes place Thursday, June 5 to Sunday, June 8, when the International Boxing Hall of Fame will enshrine several all-time greats, including eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, Vinny Paz, Michael Nunn, Yessica Chavez, and Mary Jo Sanders, among others. This event is not just about the fights; it’s a celebration of the sport’s rich history and the future stars who will carry the torch.
