FIGHTNIGHT LIVE TO COMPLETE DOUBLEHEADER WEEKEND WITH GRITTY TITANS THROWDOWN IN HARRISBURG

NEW YORK (Nov. 13, 2018) – Recently eclipsing three-million series views, FIGHTNIGHT LIVE Powered by Everlast completes its weekend Keystone State Tour on Saturday, Nov. 17, with even more hardware on the line. Partnering with its 13th promoter for the 24th show of series, the fan-friendly, interactive FREE platform teams with Titans Boxing for a gritty eight-bout card live from the Pennsylvania State Capital. A pair of American Boxing Federation titles will be at stake and local flavor will be on display via any device wherever Facebook is available beginning at 7 p.m. E.T. this Saturday.

“Dr. Andrew Foy and Titans Boxing are filling a void in Central Pennsylvania where some experienced guys are scrapping hard in evenly-matched crossroads battles, while some younger up-and-comers are looking for a chance to shine,” said Mark Fratto, Principal and Director of Business Development, Linacre Media. “We’ve been able to showcase almost 400 different fighters on our platform so far and are eager to give this group the chance to show their skills to a global audience.”

The event this Saturday, Nov. 17, at the historic Zembo Shrine Auditorium in Harrisburg, Pa., features two eight-round title fights. After reviving his career in Harrisburg, Philly warhorse Jamaal Davis (17-13-1, 7 KO) will be looking to win his second title in under a year. In the co-featured contest, Shakeem Hodge (5-1-1, 4 KO) from Reading, Pa., will be squaring off with Terrance Williams (4-2-1) of Harrisburg in a rematch of their hard-fought draw in April. Local favorite Nick Hernandez (9-3) of Lebanon, Pa., will also be in action along with Harrisburg up-and-comers Roy McGill (5-1) and Angel Rivera (3-0), who both face their toughest tests to date when they take on Anthony Sonnier (4-0) and Austin Bryant (4-1) of the renowned Pivot Boxing Squad from Upper Darby, Pa.

“This will be the seventh show promoted by Titans Boxing since it started in June 2017 and this card will be the best to date by far,” said Andrew Foy, M.D., of Titans Promotions. “Eight bouts are scheduled with two co-main event title fights. The fact that it will be streamed live to hundreds of thousands of fans around the world is incredibly exciting for me, the boxers and the local community that has supported us along the way.”
