FIGHTS: FIGHTNIGHT LIVE: New Mexican and Uprising At Club Amazura (March 8, 2019)




NOW OVER FIVE MILLION VIEWS, FIGHTNIGHT LIVE RETURNS HOME TO NYC ON FRIDAY

NEW YORK (March 5, 2019) – Having reached the five-million view plateau and having surpassed the 30-show milestone, FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Powered by Everlast returns home to New York City on Friday, March 8, to showcase some of New York’s bravest and finest pro boxing prospects. Beginning at 7 p.m. E.T. live from The City that Never Sleeps, the fan-friendly, FREE Facebook platform will feature a card punctuated by prospects and highlighted by one former women’s world champion. The event is presented by Ronson Frank’s Uprising Promotions and the New Mexican Promotion.

The free, interactive series – which has entertained more than 5.02 million fight fans since its platform premiere in May of 2017 – returns to NYC on Friday to continue its March schedule. The three-show March is part of a 2019 first quarter that showcases an outstanding six-card lineup featuring six different promotions and spanning four cities, which began with three February shows that combined for more than 520,000 views.

Hard-hitting Brooklyn native Jude Franklin (9-0, 8 KOs) will be seeking his 10th professional win in the main event on Friday night, taking on Aleem Jumakhonov (7-2-1, 4 KOs) of Horog, Tajikistan. Unbeaten featherweight Jose Gonzalez (11-0-2, 3 KOs) – the cousin of former pound-for-pound king and four-division world champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez – will also return to action. Undefeated bantamweight Ariel Lopez (11-0, 7 KOs) faces 13-bout veteran Jose Chanez of Tijuana, Mexico. Lightweight Wesley Ferrer (12-1-1, 7 KOs) will take on Andrew Rodgers of Elkhart, Ind., while undefeated super lightweight Mathew Gonzalez (7-0, 4 KOs) looks to pick up the eighth consecutive win to start his professional career. Titus Williams (7-2, 2 KOs) of Long Island will meet 14-bout veteran Cristian Renteria of Mexico in super featherweight action, while 50-year-old Hawaii native and former IFBA World Flyweight Champion Eileen Olszewski (10-7-3, 1 KO) looks to prove that age is just a number when she competes in a bantamweight attraction.

“This show will feature a number of fighters from our world-famous Gleason’s Gym Boxing Family, and we take particular pride in showcasing deserving boxers from our home market in New York City,” said Mark Fratto, Principal and Director of Business Development, Linacre Media. “That said, these prospects are not just some of the best in the city, they’re some of the best anywhere.
