LOWELL, MA – CES Boxing brings championship-caliber action back to Micky Ward country on Saturday, September 6, when Mill City Mayhem 2 touches down at the historic Lowell Memorial Auditorium    

Tickets for 'Mill City Mayhem 2' are on sale now, starting at $80 and available at CES Fights or the Lowell Memorial Auditorium website.  Get yours now as this event is sure to sellout!

The main event features undefeated junior middleweight prospect Michael “The Blessed Southpaw” Fontanez (12-0, 8 KOs).  “Salsa Mike” has steadily raised his level of competition since signing with CES Boxing, knocking out Bruno Romay in October 2024, then stopping Ray Oliveira Jr. in February before halting Noah Kidd at Lowell Memorial Auditorium in June.  Now, the Nashua, NH resident looks up the ante as a headliner in front of a raucous Lowell crowd.  

In the co-main event, reigning WBC US Silver Featherweight Champion “King” Kevin Walsh (17-0, 9 KOs) puts his unbeaten record on the line against seasoned Dominican challenger Angel “El Gato” Luna.  Walsh has been on a tear over the past year, earning signature wins over New England rivals Irvin Gonzalez, Ricky de los Santos, and Tremaine Williams.  The Brockton native now takes on the savvy Luna, an experienced fighter intent on spoiling Walsh's world title ambitions.

The card also features the return of CES’ newest knockout artist, Jaydell “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazmino (7-0, 7 KOs). The 24-year-old Londonderry, NH native has finished every opponent to date and makes his third appearance of 2025 against rugged Nicaraguan Giovanni Gutierrez.

Lowell’s own Jayson Colon (1-0, 1 KO) will look to impress his hometown crowd when he battles Winchester’s Jhony Rodrigo Dos Santos (0-2-1) in a middleweight showdown.

The undercard is stacked with three highly anticipated professional debuts:

• Mike Gaudreau (Fall River, MA) vs. Dmitri Glenn (OH) – Super Bantamweight
• Cian Duggan (Cork, Ireland) vs. Steven Farrar (Natick, MA) – Welterweight
• Christian Moura (Nashua, NH) vs. Sirdarious Smith (Forrest City, AR) – Super Bantamweight

“Lowell has always been one of boxing’s great fight cities, and we’re proud to bring Mill City Mayhem back with another incredible lineup,” said CES Boxing Founder Jimmy Burchfield Sr.
“From undefeated prospects chasing world titles to exciting local talent making their professional debuts, September 6 will be a night to remember.”

Before the first pro bout begins, fans will get a glimpse of the future as the best amateurs in New England slug it out in the Jimmy Burchfield Classic Invitational amateur showcase.
