Harley Burke Decisions Louis Maietta in Co-Feature​
Star Boxing event delivers tremendous fight card

WHITE PLAINS, NY (June 16, 2025) - On Saturday night, Star Boxing delivered a thrilling boxing event that had fans engaged from start to finish. The non-stop action saw fights with varying levels of momentum swings, guts, glory and skills on full display as multiple fights had a legitimate claim to “Fight of the Night."

The setting was intriguing as the beautiful old school arena was impressively adorned with Empire Harley-Davidson's motorcycles, celebrating their collaboration with Star Boxing.

Fight night results:

Rajon Chance vs Yan Carlos Perez

Rajon Chance scored a hard fought, narrow 10-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Dominican Republic stand out Yan Carlos Perez to capture the NBA Super Bantamweight title capping an outstanding Star Boxing card presented by Joe DeGuardia at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York.

Chance and Perez set a quick pace from the outset as both fighters displayed tremendous skill battling toe-to-toe the entire fight. The fight met, and exceeded, expectations and captivated old timers with impressive punch output, terrific body work and classic 'inside the pocket' action. The judges had the fight up for grabs until Chance finished strong and won via a narrow 2-point unanimous decision (96-94) on all three judges’ score cards. The scores indicated that Chance needed that final round to finally put a blemish on the previously undefeated resume of Perez and Chance delivered with a spirited ending.

Chance of East Orange, New Jersey is now 9-1-1, 6 KO’s. Perez of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic falls to 6-1, 4 KO’s. Both fighters clearly displayed they are fighters with skills well above their number of pro fights.

Harley Burke vs Louis Maietta

The co-feature pitted an old-fashioned neighborhood type rivalry between super middleweights Louis Maietta of Bronx, New York and Harley Burke of Yonkers, New York.

This fight was another fight that fans will remember for the action in the ring and the energy of fans of both fighters booming equally throughout the arena. The fight matched the crowd intensity as Burke and Maietta were like gladiators of years gone by. Grit, blood and heart were on display during the entire fight with fans chanting and rooting for each fighter.

Maietta, the brave and gutsy NYC fireman, came out strong and appeared to be winning the quick paced first round, when Burke dropped Maietta with an overhand right. Maietta fought back bravely throughout the bout, but Burke’s combinations were too much for Maietta to combat. Both fighters large groups of fans remained vocal throughout as the action inside the ring and fervor of the divergent crowd made for a dramatic and thrilling spectacle. In the end Burke scored a hard fought unanimous decision to improve 10-0, 7KOs. Maietta falls to 6-5-2, 2 KOs.

Eduardo Monrreal vs Austin Cassese

Monrreal struck early as he landed a left hand from the southpaw stance that put Cassese on the canvas. Cassese momentarily got himself back into the fight and then hurt Monrreal with two hard right hands along the ropes. Monrreal roared back however and uncorked a huge right hand that dropped Cassese for the second time. Cassese tried to get to his feet but fell back to the canvas and the fight was over.

Monrreal of El Paso, Texas is 2-2, 2KO’s. Cassese of Shrub Oak, New York drops to 3-1, 3KO’s

O'Rourke of Dublin, Ireland goes to 13-0, 3KO’s. Sylla of won by scores of 80-70 twice and 80-71 to stay undefeated with a 13-0 record. Sylla of Cincinnati, Ohio falls to of 12-2, 7KO’s.

Sharif Oné vs. Kevin Hill

Oné dropped Hill in round one and battered him around in round two before the fight was stopped. One goes to 1-0, 1KO. Hill Drops to 1-4, 1KO.

The show was promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, as Joe returned to his roots

where he promoted shows in the 1990's and once fought on his way to Junior Olympic and Golden Gloves Championships. Interestingly, both his dad and uncle fought as professionals as well at the same historic venue. The enthusiastic crowd saw sensational 'old school' action in the ring and riveting fan engagement outside the ring as the fights lived up to their pre-fight billing. The entire show was beyond impressive.

It wasn’t just a boxing event— it was a full-throttle experience that kept everyone standing, shouting, and supporting their favorites, and, in the end, acknowledging and appreciating all the fighters, regardless of who they were originally rooting for. A fantastic evening of entertainment.
