In attendance will be Stamford native Chordale "The Gift" Booker (21-1, 10 KOs), who attempts to make his second defense of the WBC USA Super Welterweight title he won at Mohegan Sun Arena last April against Greg "The Villain" Vendetti (23-5-1, 12 KOs).  "The Gift" was a perfect 4-0 with 3 KOs in 2023, the last one a second-round demolition of Julio Rodriguez in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in October.    

Another Stamford resident who will be featured is highly regarded Polish cruiserweight prospect Slawomir Bohdziewicz (2-0, 2 KOs).  Bohdziewicz will be making his third successive appearance at Mohegan Sun Arena, where he has impressed fans with a furious body assault that has resulted in back-to-back stoppages.  Slawomir will face Boston-based Brazilian Bruno Saraiva (0-1) in a 4 rounder.

Rounding out the presser is Fernely Feliz, Jr. (7-0, 6 KOs), an undefeated Heavyweight prospect from Danbury.  Fernely, a big puncher whose father faced the likes of former heavyweight champions John Ruiz and Oleg Maskaev during his own heavyweight run, will meet Jersey City's Joe Jones (14-9, 10 KOs) in a six-round contest.

Several amateur standouts who will participate in the 'Jimmy Burchfield Classic Invitational' will also be on hand.
