A sizzling match-up is set to light up The Paramount in Huntington, New York, as super welterweight Wendy “Haitian Fire” Toussaint (14-2, 6KO’s) squares off against Jermone Jones (7-1, 6KO’s) of Phoenix, Arizona. This 8-round super welterweight bout is promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing as part of their “Rockin’ Fights 45” series and serves as the chief support for the evening.
The main event of the night will see Alex “El Toro” Vargas (13-0, 5KO’s) face Matt “Sweet Child” Conway (23-3, 9KO’s) in a 10-round super lightweight contest. Tickets are moving fast, and a sellout crowd is anticipated.
In his last outing, Toussaint showcased the heart and mettle that defines a fighter. Despite suffering a severe cut from an accidental head clash, he soldiered on, displaying courage that earned him the respect of both fans and critics alike. The bout ended in a contentious split decision against him, but Toussaint remains undeterred. “I’m taking the lessons learned from that experience and channeling them into my upcoming fight on October 28th,” said Toussaint.
“Looking back at my last bout in Detroit, it’s clear that emotions ran high, both in the crowd and in the ring. The judges’ decisions may have been surprising, but that’s just how unpredictable this sport can be. I’ve got nothing but respect for Ardreal Holmes Jr.; we both gave it our all. The match was cut short, but no doubt, I was in it to win it. I’ve taken those lessons to heart and I’m laser-focused on my fight come October 28th. It’s another chance to prove myself, to grow, and I’m all in. Big thanks to everyone riding with me on this journey.”
His opponent, Jermone “Quadruple J” Jones Jr., is no slouch either. Known for his knockout power, Jones has claimed victory in 6 of his 7 professional fights by way of knockout. He’s stepping into this bout fresh off a spirited fight with undefeated Farid Ngoga in Phoenix. “I’m coming to take a bite out of the big apple,” Jones commented, eager to make an impact.
