Dante Cox vs Raekwon Butler tops Wilmington on Sept 17

Dee Lee Promotions, LLC in association with Family Legacy Finest and Matchmaker, Nick Tiberi, return to the Delaware boxing scene with an international boxing card on Saturday, September 17, 2022 at The Chase Fieldhouse, 401 Garasches Lane, Wilmington, DE. 19801.

This exciting fight night is highlighted by TWO American Boxing Federation title fights and TWO women’s fights that could easily have been world title fights! This exciting 11-fight professional boxing card will be held in memory of Mike “Mighty Mike” Tiberi, a fine man and former professional boxer from Delaware who will be fondly remembered and long missed by family, friends and fans around the world. Delaware and the entire tri-state area.

Dante “The Red Cornet” Cox, of Wiesbaden, Germany by way of Glen Burnie, MD and his opponent Raekwon Butler of Brooklyn, NY will square off for the ABF Lightweight Title in this Main Event! Though Cox is the more experienced of the two, Butler intends to give as much as he takes in what should be a battle of determination and will from start to finish.

Sharing top billing on this dynamic card are two middleweights, Eslih Owusu of Ghana via Worcester, MA and his opponent DeWayne Williams of Philadelphia. Owusu has the advantage of facing international competition, but he’s up against a Philly boxer in what amounts to Williams’ backyard, so all bets are off. Four, yes, four fighters chasing two titles seem to add up to an exciting night of professional boxing and Delaware fight fans are in for a treat!

Two different high-quality women’s fights highlight this 9-fight card and each was seriously considered for title fights! Jessica “Cobra” Camara from Montreal, Canada and Maria Vega from Quito, Ecuador, a pair of top talents in the women’s lightweight division, each have a lot to gain or lose in this fight.

Camara is a top ten ranked fighter and a convincing win against Vega could put her squarely in line for a title shot. Vega knows that she is only one or two wins away from being in the top 10 and the money and respect that comes with it.

The ever-accommodating Olivia ‘The Predator’ Gerula takes on extremely tough young talent Logan Holler of Columbia, SC in another 6-round battle.

Gerula has fought on 4 continents, holding 3 different titles and fighting many of the top talents in women’s boxing including Kathy Collins, Mia St John and Amanda Serrano.

Holler may lack Gerula’s experience, but he possesses lightning speed and heavy hitting power. It’s one of those classic matchups of canny veterans against hungry young talent that often brings the crowd to its feet and could turn out to steal the show!

The rest of the card includes young and talented lightweight Jalique Holden of Wilmington, DE stepping up to fight Charlie Clark of Dallas, TX, Iman Lee of Yonkers vs TBA and Michael Crain of Wilmington, DE are scheduled to wear the gloves. The card also features Jamar Leach vs. Andre Davis, Ghandi Romain from Port-au-Prince, Haiti and the highly touted young Adonis Wilkins from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, all scheduled for their pro debuts.
