“PROSPECTS COLLIDE” TAKES CENTER STAGE

PhilBoxing.com





TONIGHT SAT, JUNE 14TH
Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing Presents, "Prospects Collide"
Tonight at the Westchester County Center...

WHITE PLAINS, NY (June 14, 2025) – The anticipation has reached a boiling point as Star Boxing brings the fire back to the Westchester County Center TONIGHT Saturday, June 14, with its hard-hitting fight card, “Prospects Collide.” The card features a high-stakes blend of rising talent, city rivalries, and throwback grit—an event tailor-made for fight fans hungry for real action.

Earlier this week, the fight world got a taste of what’s to come during a packed press conference at Empire Harley-Davidson in New Rochelle, where fighters traded words, staredowns, and predictions. The event was drenched in energy as press, fans, and industry insiders gathered among steel and chrome for a raw preview of Saturday’s matchups.

At the heart of the event is the Super-Bantamweight NBA Title showdown between boxing stylist Rajon “Picasso” Chance and undefeated power-puncher Yan Carlos “El Baka” Perez of the Dominican Republic. With both fighters eager to prove themselves on the big stage, this boxer-vs-brawler clash promises fireworks.

“I like the boxer vs. puncher theme… there’s only one way to find out who can really punch,” said Chance.
“I’m ready to show the best version of myself,” Perez calmly responded, confidence in his voice and knockout power in his hands.

Local bragging rights will also be on the line in a classic borough battle between Yonkers and the Bronx. In this battle amongst fan-favorites, undefeated Irish-American Harley Burke takes on tought Bronx Firefighter Louis Maietta, in a six-round Super Middleweight bout that has a throwback vibe that feels more personal than promotional.

“Irish vs. Italian. Yonkers vs. Bronx. This fight sells itself,” Burke declared.
“We’re putting on a hell of a show Saturday night,” Maietta fired back.

Also featured is Austin “All-American” Cassese of Shrub Oak, NY, a Marist College grad, who is seeking another highlight-reel finish in front of a hometown crowd. Cassese takes on Eduardo Monrreal in a scheduled four-rounder.

In another compelling 50/50 bout, Ireland’s unbeaten Ryan O’Rourke (12-0, 3 KO) squares off with tough Cincinnati native Boubacar Sylla (12-1, 7 KO) in a Welterweight clash that could steal the show.

Making his pro debut is Bronx math teacher and USIBA National Champion Sharif One, a proud Ivorian-American stepping into the professional ranks against Kevin Hill in a four-round Super Welterweight bout. A natural leader inside and outside the ring, One’s mix of brains and brawn makes him one to watch.

Promoter Joe DeGuardia, President of Star Boxing, sees the card as a throwback to boxing’s golden era—real fights, real risks, and fighters chasing greatness the hard way.

“This is the kind of card boxing needs,” said DeGuardia. “Great matches, storylines and historic ties to the old days. Matchups where pride, progression, and passion are all on the line in front of excited, vested fans.”

The event is being held in proud collaboration with Empire Harley-Davidson, which hosted the week’s press conference and continues to support community-centered entertainment rooted in tradition and toughness.

“This partnership is just the beginning,” said Empire GM Kyle Hildebrand. “We’ll be there in full force Saturday night. This is exactly the kind of energy we want to be part of.”
