CARLOS LLINAS PRESENTS TWO BOXING SHOWS IN JUST EIGHT DAYS AT SOUND BOARD IN MOTORCITY CASINO HOTEL STARTING FRINDAY OCT 24 PhilBoxing.com Fri, 24 Oct 2025 One of the longest running series of boxing shows in the United States, Night of Knockouts returns with two hard-hitting events in just over a week Detroit (October 23, 2025) – Longtime Detroit-based promoter Carlos Llinas of CLIP Boxing proudly announces two professional boxing shows in a span of just eight days at Sound Board in MotorCity Casino Hotel. Tomorrow night (Friday, October 24), Llinas and CLIP boxing will present “Night of Knockouts XXXVI (36),” featuring Toronto, Canada’s undefeated Jaquan Carty (10-0, 7 KOs) taking on Chicago’s Semajay Thomas (11-1, 8 KOs) in the 10-round super welterweight main event. A former national champion who was widely known as “Canada Best Amateur Boxer” before turning professional in 2023, the highly promising 27-year-old Carty was last seen scoring an impressive second-round stoppage over previously undefeated (10-0) UK-based prospect Graham Tirrell in August. 32-year-old Thomas won the United States National Light Welterweight Amateur Championship in 2011 and was once considered a blue-chip prospect and future champion. Thomas, however, is coming off six-year period of inactivity and will be looking to resume his promising career with an eye-catching victory over the formidable Carty. Tickets for Night of Knockouts XXXVI start at $51 and are available at Ticketmaster and the MotorCity Casino Hotel Box Office. Also on the card, Daishaun Bundrage (1-0, 1 KO), the son of Detroit’s former two-time IBF Junior Middleweight Champion Cornelius “K9” Bundrage, will have his second professional fight against Bossier City, Louisiana, veteran Lamar Bolden. On the jam-packed undercard will be local fan favorites Josiah Shackleford (7-2, 4 KOs), Wesley Rivers (10-6, 4 KOs), undefeated Kevin Carree (5-0-1, 3 KOs), Ferris Dixon (6-1, 3 KOs), Marcus Wilson (5-0-1, 2 KOs) and several other local and international prospects in competitive matchups. The most active and consistent boxing promoter in Detroit over the last two decades and the leading name in keeping the storied history of Motown boxing alive, promoter Carlos Llinas says he’s excited for his show tomorrow night, as every episode of his wildly popular and long-running Night of Knockouts series has sold out. “Night of Knockouts 36 will be one of the best shows we’ve ever presented at this incredible venue in Downtown Detroit,” said Llinas. A resident of Detroit and future Sports Hall of Famer in the city, Llinas says the main event alone is worth the price of admission. “Jaquan Carty is rising like a rocket in the sport right now,” he said “but Semajay Thomas and his fantastic resume could be ready to pull off an upset. There are so many variables in this fight and so much intrigue. The winner of this fight will take a huge step up the ladder in the sport. It’s going to be an all-action thriller. When you factor in K9’s son and all the great names we have on the undercard, this show can not miss!” Just eight days later (November 1) at the same Sound Board in MotorCity Casino Hotel, Carlos Llinas and CLIP Boxing will present “Night of Knockouts 37,” featuring a hybrid night of professional boxing and kickboxing. Just the second of its kind Llinas has presented, highlighting the boxing portion of the show will be Grand Rapids, Michigan’s undefeated super welterweight Justin Lacey-Pierce (12-0, 7 KOs) taking on all-action veteran Courtney Pennington (17-10-3, 7 KOs) of Brooklyn in a guaranteed eight-round thriller, as well as Pontiac, Michigan’s Samuel Rizzo (9-1, 6 KOs) in six-round battle against St. Louis scrapper Deonta Williamson (2-4, 2 KOs). Also appearing will be undefeated Toledo-based knockout artist Jeffery Hudson (5-0, 5 KOs) looking to keep his featherweight record perfect in a four-round fight against St. Louis’s Rashad Hicks (2-4-1, 1 KO) and Grand Rapids welterweight Ulysses Campos (3-0, 3 KOs) putting his hard-punching skill against an opponent TBA in a four-round battle. In addition to these boxing bouts will be a full-throttle night of kickboxing to satisfy Detroit’s thriving kickboxing scene and its many fans. Tickets for Night of Knockouts XXXVII start at $51 and are available at Ticketmaster and the MotorCity Casino Hotel Box Office. Both Night of Knockouts XXXVI and Night of Knockouts XXXVII start at 7 pm sharp. Both shows are age-restricted events, 21+ with valid photo ID.
