Broadway Boxing was launched in April 2004 as a monthly boxing series featuring local prospects and contenders. By August of 2008, Broadway Boxing had become a weekly series on SNY with a combination of premiere episodes and replays of past or “best of” shows that emanate from DBE’s vast library. Having debuted on HD Net and the MSG Network, Broadway Boxing has aired every Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET on SNY for the past nine years. During that time, the series has grown to produce some of the highest ratings for any program broadcast on SNY, outside of NY Mets games. World champions such as Vitali Klitschko, Gennady Golovkin, Jose Pedraza, Andre Berto, Paulie Malignaggi, Peter Quillin, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Yuriorkis Gamboa, DeMarcus Corley, Randall Bailey and Amanda Serrano have appeared on the series. The current broadcast team consists of Hall of Famer Steve Farhood and Brian Custer of SHOWTIME, as well as Brian Adams, the Director of the New York Daily News Golden Gloves tournament. Past broadcasters to call the fights include the late Nick Charles of SHOWTIME, WFAN’s Tony Paige, the NFL’s Bob Papa, Fox Sports’ Gus Johnson, Sam Rosen and Fran Charles.

Headlining the night in a 10-round heavyweight battle of local rivals, ALEXIS SANTOS (18-1, 15 KOs), of Lawrence, Massachusetts, clashes with Ireland’s NIALL KENNEDY (8-0, 5 KOs), fighting out of Boston, Massachusetts.

New England fan favorite “MARVELOUS” MYKQUAN WILLIAMS (7-0, 4 KOs), of East Hartford, Connecticut, will return against battle-tested EVINCII DIXON, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, over six rounds.

In a special feature attraction women’s eight-round junior lightweight battle, SHELLY “SHELITO’S WAY” VINCENT (19-1, 1 KO) squares off against ANGEL “NONSTOP” GLADNEY(9-12-1, 6 KOs).
