CARD SHAPING UP FOR BERGEN BRAWL 1
Paramus, NJ (April 3) – With Rising Promotions’ North Jersey Debut quickly approaching, the card is shaping up. In the Main Event, local favorite Darren “Venom” Goodall (5-0,3KO) of Wyckoff, NJ will go up against Talik Taylor (3-10) of Freeport, NY over six rounds on a show full of local up and comers.
In the newly announced co-feature, Pleasantville’s Anthony “Juice” Young (18-2,6KO) will go up against his toughest test to date in Enver Halili (10-1, 3ko) from the Bronx.
Young looks to settle the score with the Halili name, after suffering a TKO defeat to Enver’s older brother Skender Halili (16-2 13ko) in February of 2016.
The Young/Halili fight will be taking the spot of co-feature after Rising Promotions’ own Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna has decided to sit this one out. “The business side of things are getting busy in my career and I have to be on point at all times. I do not feel a rush to get back into the ring and risk what I am currently working on. I’ll be back, no later than July, but for now, I would like to focus on my business and my family” LaManna, who is expecting a baby girl in May, said regarding his decision to step back and focus on his duties as the promoter for this go round.
