This Sunday at 9:00 pm EST, DiBella Entertainment’s Broadway Boxing Veterans Day event, called “Heroes on the Hudson,” will premiere on SportsNet New York.
The card, originally broadcast on DAZN, was part of a Veterans Day celebration sponsored by Morgan Stanley and Cavu Securities to support heroic veterans of the United States Armed Forces.
The 120th edition of the Broadway Boxing series is highlighted by the return to the ring of former WBO world champion and US Marine Jamel Herring against the undefeated Nick Molina.
Newly crowned IBF bantamweight world champion Miyo Yoshida faced Shurretta Metcalf in a 10-round bantamweight bout on the undercard with the vacant IBF Intercontinental belt on the line. Rising heavyweight Roney Hines put his undefeated record on the line against Jonathan Gruber, and super bantamweight contender Mikiah Kreps took on the experienced Isis Vargas Perez.
A portion of the proceeds from the event were donated to Merging Vets and Players and the West Point Society of New York.
“Our latest Broadway Boxing event, held at the Edison Ballroom in New York City, titled ‘Heroes on the Hudson,’ not only celebrated the series’ 20th anniversary, but more importantly, helped honor and support our military veterans. First airing on DAZN, I am thrilled to premiere this card to the SNY audience,” said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment.
“Former world champion and US Navy veteran Jamel Herring began his comeback, determined to return to the world title scene.
Miyo Yoshida, now a three-time world champion, fought Shurretta Metcalf for the IBF Intercontinental Bantamweight title on the undercard. Also that night, super bantamweight contender Mikiah Kreps, co-managed by Herring, faced former world title challenger Isis Vargas Pérez and heavyweight prospect Roney Hines fought Jonathan Gruber.”
