On Wednesday, October 15, DiBella Entertainment (DBE) will return to NYC’s famed B.B. King Blues Club & Grill for the latest edition of its Broadway Boxing series, hosting a special event in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, in which Everlast will be donating pink and black boxing gloves to show their support. Once dubbed “a female Arturo Gatti” by promoter Lou DiBella, the always-exciting Heather “The Heat” Hardy (10-0, 2KO’s) will headline a seven-bout card, facing off against Crystal Hoy, of Las Vegas, in a 10-round junior featherweight contest.

In other bouts, New York Golden Gloves champion Travis Peterkin (12-0, 5KO’s) competes in an eight-round light heavyweight matchup. Former amateur standout Ivan Golub (1-0, 0 KOs) will face Kirk Huff (3-1, 1KO) in a four-round middleweight contest. Steed “The Stallion” Woodall (4-0, 3KO’s) meets Travis McLaren (1-5, 1 KO) in a six-round junior middleweight bout. Highly touted Dominican southpaw junior welterweight Wellington Romero (4-0, 3KO’s) will participate in a four-round bout. Junior middleweight prospect Patrick Day (8-0-1, 5KO’s), the former #1 amateur in the US and a National champion, will see action in a four-round contest against Tavorus Teague (2-1-1, 1KO). In a six-round super middleweight bout will be the undefeated Lennox “2 Sharpe” Allen (17-0-1, 10KO’s), returning to the ring following a 13-month layoff. Opponents for Peterkin, Romero and Allen will be announced shortly.
