“We are very busy this fall as we have fights taking place all over the world,” said Banner Promotions CEO Artie Pelullo.
“We have Chris and Ruslan fighting on back-to-back weekends, and then we are in the process of securing a big fight for Demetrius Andrade. The announcement of his fight will be in the coming the days.”
“Since we announced the Boxcino weight classes, we have received calls from around the world from a lot of interesting fighters hoping to participate in the tournament. We expect that this year’s tournaments will be action-packed and that the fans will enjoy the tournament as much as last year.”
