“Rumble Under the Stars” July 25 at Haverhill Stadium

11.07 - BOSTON, Mass. – Hometown hero Jeff “Hellraza” Fraza headlines “Rumble Under the Stars,” presented by Pendarvis Boxing Promotions, in the eight-round main event Friday night, July 25 at Haverhill Stadium. Haverhill High School’s gymnasium will be the site in case of inclement weather.

Doug Pendarvis is promoting “Rumble Under the Stars,” in association with Hampton Inn of Lawrence, World Gym of Haverhill and Frugal McDoogal’s.

Fraza (13-2, 7 KOs) is the reigning New England Light Welterweight Champion. His July 25th fight against Mark Scott (4-4-1, 3 KOs), of Cincinnati (OH), is a non-title match.

“Jeff wanted to defend his New England title at home against Eddie McAloney,” Pendarvis noted, “but there wasn’t enough time to do it by July 25. This is a fight for rights. Jeff is donating a portion of his purse and we’re giving five-percent of our sponsorship revenue to the Haverhill Boys & Girls Club. Funds are short to send kids to camp and we’re trying to help. Proceeds from concessions are going to Haverhill High’s athletic program. Budget cuts are being made and we trying to defray the cost for kids playing sports. We’re also offering a $10.00 ticket for children 12 and under. There will also be live entertainment, including rapper Little Kenny.”

The “Rumble Under the Stars” card also includes heavyweights Steve “Tunnel Rat” Scigliano (7-3, 4 KOs), of Quincy, South Boston’s Chris Tillman (2-0, 1 KO) and Lawrence’s Jose Colon in separate bouts; Springfield light heavyweight Sal Zabian (1-1, 1 KO), and junior welterweight Alex Infante (1-0), of Haverhill. Highly touted featherweight Denise Moses, of Lawrence, makes her pro debut against Kim Jeffrey (0-1), of Cincinnati (OH), in a four-round match.

All bouts and fighters are subject to change.

Ticket prices are $50.00 Gold VIP Ringside (limited), $35.00 ringside, $25.00 general admission and $10.00 (12 or under, limited).
