Salem NJ, 13th June 2008 – The city of Salem, New Jersey will be making history on June 21st 2008 when it hosts it’s very first fight night, which will be headlined by home town favourite Mark ‘Oaktree’ Brown (12 (5 KO’s) – 1 (1 KO) – 0) in a heavyweight bout against Ralph ‘Wild Wild’ West (17 (14 KO’s) – 13 (10 KO’s) – 1) from Jamboree, Kentucky..
This match up has all the ingredients to be a classic. Mark will be determined to continue his undefeated run, especially after his magnificent performance against Kevin Hood back in January this year, in front of his home town fans and Ralph, who after being knocked out by Sherman Williams when they fought for the WBF intercontinental and NBA Heavyweight titles last year will be determined to get back to winning ways.
The Fight Night Productions promoted ‘History In Our City’ event undercard features another battle royale, this time in the light heavyweight division, when Alfred Kinsey (6 (3 KO’s) – 2 (1 KO) – 1) from Atlantic City takes on Baltimore, Maryland native Willie Williams (10 (2 KO’s) – 2 – 0). Fireworks are expected in this bout as both Alfred and Willie will be determined not to break their current unbeaten runs.
This event also features a light welterweight match that sees the professional debut for Philadelphia’s first lady of amateur boxing, Faatimah Balmer, who has a magnificent 43 – 6 with 14 knockouts amateur record, against Haitian born Melissa ‘Guard Your Grill’ St Vil (0 – 1 – 0)
from Brooklyn, New York. This should be one seriously good fight as Melissa will be looking to secure her first pro win after just losing out on her debut to Olivia Fonseca by a very close points decision, whilst the talented Faatimah will be looking to establish herself as a star of the future in the pro-ranks.
Another ‘Jersey Boy’ on the undercard is light middleweight Alex Sanchez1 (1 KO) – 0 – 0) from Camden who takes on Philadelphia’s Ardrick Butler0 – 1 (1 TKO) – 0). Also on the bill is another Philadelphian, middleweight Roberto Burgess (4 (2 KO’s) – 1 (1 KO) – 0) whose opponent will be announced shortly.
