Sony Hall in the heart of Times Square is quickly turning into the go-to spot for pro boxing in the Big Apple. BoxingInsider Promotions has been knocking it out of the park there, hosting eight bangers in just over a year, and they’re gearing up to bring the heat again on Thursday, March 7, kicking off at 7:30 PM.

Get ready for a triple threat of fights at this cozy joint, packed with local talent ready to rumble.

Larry Goldberg from BoxingInsider is all about setting the stage for the city’s up-and-coming bruisers to shine, paying homage to New York’s legendary fight scene.

And boy, does Goldberg have a lineup for us on March 7!

Ariel Lopez, the pride of Gleason’s Gym with a featherweight record of 20-1-1, is set to duke it out with Gregorio Lebron (24-6) in a main event that’s sure to have fists flying.

The co-headliner is a showdown between Brooklyn’s own undefeated featherweight Chiara Dituri (7-0) and Harlem’s tough-as-nails Jaica Pavilus (3-6-1). Expect fireworks.

Light heavyweight Emmet Brennan (2-0) from Dublin, who waved the Irish flag in the Tokyo Olympics and snagged the Celtic Champion title, is hitting the U.S. scene to face off against Queens’ Devaun Lee (11-10-1) in an 8-rounder.

Josh Popper, a crowd favorite and the reigning New York Ringmasters champ, is stepping into the pro ring for the first time. After dominating the Ringmasters and Metros in 2023, “The Hammer” is ready to show NYC what he’s got. He’s the brain behind Bredwinners Boxing in NYC, where champs are made.

Brooklyn’s heavyweight hopeful Pryce Taylor (2-0), a two-time US Championships finalist with nine bouts in The Combat League under his belt, is looking to impress the home crowd in a four-round clash.

Iman Lee (8-0) from Yonkers, riding an eight-fight win streak in the super featherweight division, is also set to light up the night.
