CES (12)
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Feb. 20th, 2018) -- There's nothing better in boxing right now than being a heavyweight contender in what is now a wide-open weight class, unless you're a heavyweight who happens to hit like a runaway freight train.
Meet Juiseppe Angelo Cusumano, the hard-hitting, heavy-handed Sicilian who'd like nothing more than to throw his hat in the proverbial ring as the next great heavyweight champion.
The time is now; with the Klitschko brothers no longer hoarding every belt under the sun, there are currently three fighters sharing the four major world championships, which means there are far more open roads to success than there were when Wladimir and Vitali held each belt for periods of nine and five years, respectively.
For what it's worth, the Klitschko brothers boast two of the top 10 longest individual title reigns in heavyweight boxing history with Wladimir's nine-year, seven-month, six-day stranglehold on the IBF, WBO and WBO belts ranking behind only Joe Louis(11 years, eight months, eight days) for the longest ever, but those days are long gone.
Right now, it's world champions Anthony Joshua (WBA, IBF), Deontay Wilder(WBC) and Joseph Parker (WBO) in the crosshairs of every heavyweight with a puncher's chance, and Cusumano (13-1, 11 KOs) is confident 2018 will be the year he serves notice to the rest of the division that perhaps there's a new challenger on the block.
"I want to give it my all," said Cusumano, who fights again Friday night at Twin River Casino. "The heavyweight division is open and I'm going to have to do everything I need to do to be the best I can be."
Before he sets his sights on the top dogs in the division, Cusumano must first take care of Pittsburgh's Fred Latham (9-1-2, 5 KOs), by far his toughest test to date. Their six-round heavyweight showdown is the co-feature of CES Boxing's 2018 season opener, which streams live on Facebook via FIGHTNIGHT LIVE beginning at8 p.m. ET.
Cusumano has won 11 consecutive fights dating back to his only career loss in 2012 and has resurfaced under the promotional guidance of CES Boxing following a two-year layoff in which poor management and alcohol abuse kept him away from the gym. Feeling as though he'd missed his shot, Cusumano considered walking away from boxing until Danville, Va., trainer Marcus Luck rolled the dice on the 6-foot-4 heavyweight and introduced him to CES Boxing president Jimmy Burchfield Sr.
The rest is history. Since signing with CES Boxing, Cusumano scored three scintillating knockout wins in a three-month span in 2017 and might've made it 4-for-4 in December were it not for a brief bout with pneumonia postponing his scheduled fight against Brandon Johnson.
At 29, Cusumano knows this is the year he needs to assert himself. No more distractions or layoffs, just a heavy focus on his craft. He recently hired a new strength and conditioning coach, who has forced him to push his body to the limit.
"He's really kicked my butt," he said. "You'll see my body when I get up there."
Cusumano has shared his progress with fans via social media, including a photo of him training underwater, a mirror image of the iconic snapshot of all-time greatMuhammad Ali standing at the bottom of a Miami swimming pool in 1961.
The message is clear: Cusumano is hungry again, and that's potentially bad news for the rest of his weight class.
"Each fight, I feel like I'm getting better and better," he said. "A three-year layoff is a long time, so after these three fights I've just had, I get more motivated. I get more into it."
He also knows plenty about Latham, who recently starred on the long-runningShoBox: The New Generation series on Showtime against Junior Fa in November. Cusumano has actually sparred with some of Latham's previous opponents.
"He's got a pawing jab and he doesn't like to fight, really. He likes stay away and score points from a distance and stuff, so I'm going to have to attack," Cusumano said. "He has problems every time someone attacks. I know he fought Keith Barr[in 2015] and Keith Barr is not that big of a guy and he's not good, but he was able to land a lot of big punches on Fred just because of the pressure he was putting on him.
"I'm going to have to keep pressure on him and let him feel my power early and let him know it's going to be a very long night if he wants to stay in that ring."
With each fight up north, the Danville resident becomes more and more of a fan-favorite in Rhode Island, particularly in the Federal Hill neighborhood of Providence, a predominantly Italian-American community.
He promises to look leaner than ever, even though he stills weights close to usual number of 235 pounds, and he's adamant he's not looking too far ahead. When asked about the other contenders his division, Cusumano simply says, "One at a time."
"This fight is only [three days] away so I'm pretty focused on that right now and this week is about getting my energy back, rebuilding, because, like I said, I've been killing it," he said. "Now I've just got to get that energy back and the night of the fight I should feel like Superman."
Tickets for Friday's event are priced at $47.00, $102.00, $127.00 (VIP) and $152.00 (VIP) and can be purchased online at www.cesboxing.com, www.twinriver.com orwww.ticketmaster.com, by phone at 401-724-2253/2254 or at the Twin River Casino Players Club.

Having already conquered personal demons, McCreedy begins comeback Friday night at Twin River
LOWELL, Mass. (Dec. 14th, 2015) – The blade was probably an inch from his throat, maybe closer. He was too drunk to remember all the details.
The only thing Joey McCreedy remembers is waking up strapped to a bed in a psychiatric ward the following morning, just a few hours after threatening to commit suicide in his mother’s bedroom while his 7-year-old brother looked on.
Once considered the pride of Lowell, Mass. – the young, handsome football star, the darling of the family, the next Micky Ward in and out of the boxing ring – McCreedy had finally hit rock bottom.
Years of masking his on-again, off-again depression with excessive partying and drinking drove him to the edge. The pressure of following in the footsteps of a regional icon, the feeling of failure after losing the biggest fight of his career in Vegas, an entire city turning its back on him, all of it left McCreedy searching for a way out.
The turmoil reached its boiling point one night when McCreedy, already intoxicated following an argument with his girlfriend, who had grown tired of his drinking, went back to the liquor store, bought more alcohol and began mixing it with prescription sleeping pills.
“For some reason, I went downstairs, grabbed a knife, walked into my mom’s room and said, ‘Mom, I love you. Goodbye. I can’t take this anymore.’ I was numb.
“I gave up on myself.”
THE 30-YEAR-OLD MCCREEDY (15-8-2, 6 KOs) begins his long-awaited comeback Friday, Dec. 18th, 2015 on the undercard of CES Boxing’s “Holiday Bash” at Twin River Casino in a six-round bout against Texas’ Emmanuel Sanchez (6-4, 1 KO), his first fight in more than a year.
He’s much leaner than the last time he fought, no longer tipping the scales at 175 pounds, instead fighting closer to the middleweight limit of 160. He was in such good shape throughout this recent training camp he actually had to put on a few pounds to meet Sanchez in the middle at 165.
This isn’t the same McCreedy who, while training for his September 2014 bout against Rich Gingras, used to come home every night from the gym and polish off a couple of bottles of alcohol in his room. McCreedy knows this is his last chance to not only get back to the top, back to where he was that night in Vegas when he fought for a title against Sean Monaghan at the MGM Grand – the pinnacle for most promising fighters – but also to silence those who doubt he has much left in the tank.
McCreedy has always cared what other people think, perhaps to a fault, so when he returned to Lowell following the knockout loss to Monaghan, it hurt him to see so many people turn away, people who had once extended a hand or lent their support. Such is the case in boxing. Life is great at the top when friends come out of the woodwork, but the fall from grace is painful and lonely.
“I lost friends. I lost best friends,” McCreedy said. “A lot of people just gave up on me, just like they did with Micky when he was young.”
That emptiness only drove McCreedy to drink more. His depression worsened following the loss to Gingras, a fight he only agreed to so he could cash his paycheck and buy more liquor.
“I was thinking about Vegas, I was thinking about Lowell, I was thinking about my girlfriend, I was thinking about how I had a chance at the biggest shot in the world and I fucked it up,” he said. “I kept drinking, drinking and drinking.”
McCreedy firmly believes hitting rock bottom, the night he held the knife to his throat, just seconds from taking his own life, was a necessary chapter in the story of his recovery.
“God knew I was stubborn,” he said. “God knew I wasn’t going to get help so he said, ‘OK, we’re going to do it the hard way.’”
Had his mother not intervened, knocking the knife from his hand and tackling her on to the ground – “I don’t know she did it. They say mothers have that super mom strength,” he said – McCreedy would still be on the same path toward self-destruction, perhaps with a much grizzlier ending.
Under heavy medication for the next two weeks, bound in a straight jacket and locked in a cramped, one-room cell with only a hint of sunlight peering in through a tiny window, McCreedy faced his worst fears.
“I was literally on the same floor with people screaming and yelling,” he said. “It was like some shit you see in a movie.”
IT TOOK TIME, but McCreedy eventually opened up. With the help of a psychiatrist, he dug deep to the root of his depression, the burden of trying to emerge from Ward’s shadow, the pressure of losing on boxing’s biggest stage, dealing with bipolar disorder and mood swings. He understood what he had put his family through. He recalled his high school years as a star football player, never having to worry about grades, and the inevitable realization that the sport was merely a pastime, not a career.
McCreedy left the hospital with a second chance at life. He blocked out the negative influences, left behind his connection to Ward and Dicky Eklund, both of whom were larger-than-life figures in Lowell, and began training at the nearby West End Gym.
When he says this is the new Joey McCreedy, he’s sincere. No more drinking, no more partying. He’s got a new job, a new car and an incredible story to share with others in hopes that it’ll one day steer someone in danger toward the right path.
“Everyone deals with depression in a whole different way,” he said. “I figured, let me get me story out there. Maybe I can save a life.
“I’m a different person. I think different. I can’t explain it. It’s something you have to go through yourself, but if I can do this, anybody else can.”
The result in the ring Friday is almost inconsequential at this point. McCreedy has already won the most important battle.
Tickets for the “Holiday Bash” are priced at $40.00, $75.00 and $125.00 (VIP) and available for purchase online at www.cesboxing.com or www.twinriver.com, www.ticketmaster.com, by phone at 401-724-2253/2254, or at the Twin River Casino Players Club. All fights and fighters are subject to change.

As an added bonus, the Dec. 18th “Holiday Bash” also features a live performance by Grammy nominated recording artist Karina Pasian of New York City, plus the induction of former CES ring announcer and current Brockton, Mass., Mayor Bill Carpenter into the CES Ring of Honor.
In addition to the McCreedy-Sanchez bout, unbeaten Worcester, Mass., junior middleweight Khiary Gray (10-0, 8 KOs) faces Mexico’s Roberto Valenzuela (69-70-2, 56 KOs) in a six-round bout and fellow junior middleweight Jimmy Williams (9-0-1, 5 KOs) of New Haven, Conn., makes his Twin River debut in a six-round bout against Chris Gray (13-21-1, 1 KO) of Vero Beach, Fla.
The undercard of the “Holiday Bash” features more of New England’s rising stars, including undefeated Worcester super lightweight Freddy Sanchez (6-0, 5 KOs), who puts his record on the line against dangerous New York vet Sidney Maccow (4-3, 3 KOs) in a six-round bout.
Providence, R.I., natives Phil Dudley and Cido Hoff, fighting out of Rhode Island’s 401 Boxing, make their professional debuts in separate four-round bouts; Dudley faces Lawrence, Mass., lightweight Jacob Solis (1-1) and Hoff battles unbeaten super featherweight Timmy Ramos (2-0, 2 KOs) of Framingham, Mass., whom Hoff faced twice as an amateur.

Both are four-round bouts.

After turning his life around through boxing, Gray-Pitts seeks third win Friday night |
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Nov. 5th, 2014) -- Growing up in Worcester, Khiary Gray-Pitts had two choices: stay in the streets and keep rolling with the wrong crowd, or get back in the boxing gym and turn his life around.
"The more I got into trouble, the more I realized I had to get back into boxing," he recalled.
A promising young amateur born and raised in a city synonymous with boxing excellence, from former world champion Jose Antonio Rivera to current world-title challenger Edwin Rodriguez, Gray-Pitts (2-0, 1 KO) seemed destined for greatness as a teenager until a devastating loss cost him a trip to the nationals and sent him veering down the wrong path.
"I began hanging with the wrong crowd, just getting into all sorts of trouble," he said.
Gray-Pitts was arrested eight times -- five times as a juvenile -- before one last run-in with the law forced him to reflect on the damage his behavior was doing to his mother and older brother, Trevor. Something finally clicked. He knew it was time to get back into the gym and off the streets.
"I never got into trouble when I boxed," he said.
Gray-Pitts clearly made the right choice, as evident by his success not only at the tail end of his amateur career, but in his brief foray as a professional as well, where he's now unbeaten in two fights preparing for yet another bout Friday, Nov. 7th, 2014 at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I.
Gray-Pitts will face Philadelphia's Vincent Floyd (1-0-1), a 5-foot-11 southpaw, on the undercard of CES Boxing's season finale, "Winner Take All," in a four-round middleweight bout that could steal the spotlight from the world championship main event.
The bout will end a whirlwind year for the 21-year-old prospect, one in which he fought his amateur finale and his professional debut all within a span of seven days, a remarkable transition in a short amount of time by industry standards. Now Gray-Pitts is one of the most feared, avoided fighters in his weight class, turned down by more than half a dozen regional fighters when approached with the idea of facing him on Friday night.
"I'm a whole different person now," said Gray-Pitts, who is also the father of a 2-year-old daughter, Khilani. "I have a whole different outlook on everything."
Prior to his run-ins with the law, Gray-Pitts excelled as a two-sport athlete in Worcester, playing both basketball and football. He reluctantly began boxing in seventh grade after a friend told him to give it a try.
"I used to think boxing was for people that couldn't fight until I tried it," Gray-Pitts said. "After the first few days of training, I stayed with it. I had to beg my mom for an entire year before I could actually take an amateur fight."
Gray-Pitts amassed an impressive amateur record before a loss to Eddie Gomez in the amateurs cost him a shot at the nationals. That's when his downward spiral began. For the next three years, he swerved in and out of trouble until linking up with Kendrick Ball of Camp Get Right Boxing in Worcester.
That's when everything changed. Gray-Pitts began working exclusively with Ball and improved drastically as a fighter, finishing the second half of his amateur career in style with a win over fellow CES stablemate Ray Oliveira Jr. in May.
The idea of turning pro so quickly, just seven days after beating Oliveira Jr., was Ball's idea. He knew Gray-Pitts was ready, and when the opportunity to fight on a CES card in June presented itself, both he and his fighter took advantage.
"Everyone always told me I had a pro style, but I really didn't know I was ready until Kendrick told me I was," Gray-Pitts said. "He taught me a lot, specifically about turning my punches over and looking for that opening. I'm a lot more aggressive now."
That aggressiveness showed in his pro debut when he ate a few right hands from his opponent, On'rey Townes, before finishing him off just 27 seconds into the third round. As for absorbing a few blows, Gray-Pitts didn't seem to mind.
"I had to find out what it felt like, but I didn't do it on purpose," he said with a laugh.
"It actually felt good. It woke me up. It made me realize, 'OK, this isn't a game anymore.'"
The severity of the blows minus headgear isn't the only difference between the amateurs and the pros. Gray-Pitts noted the change in environment from his last amateur fight to his pro debut, the atmosphere and energy in the crowd. It'd be enough to unnerve some young fighters, but Gray-Pitts came out poised and looked every bit the professional.
"I was nervous," he admitted, "until the third round."
That quick flash of brilliance in the third, the overhand right that sent Townes crashing to the canvas, could be considered a warning shot for the rest of New England, a message of sorts to those already ducking Gray-Pitts before he turns 22 later this month. Leave it to a Philadelphia fighter to step up to the plate in what could be the fight of the night.
"I've been waiting for Friday since my last fight," he said. "I love being active."
"Winner Take All" is an all-ages show. Tickets for the event are on sale now for $40, $100 and $126 (VIP) and can be purchased online at www.cesboxing.com or www.twinriver.com, at the Twin River Box Office or by phone at 401-724-2253/2254. Doors open at 6 and the first bout begins at 7 p.m. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
Friday's event is headlined by the 10-round main event between Providence's Shelito Vincent (12-0, 1 KO) and Jackie Trivilino(9-8-3, 1 KO) for the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) female super bantamweight title.
Super middleweight Angel Camacho Jr. (12-0, 4 KOs) of Providence, R.I., will face Hyannis, Mass., vet Paul Gonsalves(7-4-1, 3 KOs) in the six-round co-feature. Camacho Jr. was originally scheduled to face Tylon Burris of Hartford, but Burris withdrew this weekend due to a back injury.
This will be Camacho Jr.'s first fight since 2011 and just his second in the last six years while Gonsalves is fighting for the fifth time in 2014, among them an impressive majority decision loss to unbeaten Mike Lee in July on the undercard of ESPN2's FridayNight Fights telecast.
Unbeaten Brockton, Mass., heavyweight Julian Pollard (4-0, 4 KOs) makes his Twin River debut in a special four-round attraction against Providence veteran Arthur Saribekian (23-5-1, 18 KOs) while Cranston, R.I., welterweight Nick DeLomba (5-0) will battle Miami's Lazar Stojadinovic (1-1-1) in a six-round bout.
"Winner Take All" also features New Bedford, Mass., prospectsRay Oliveira Jr. (1-0, 1 KO) and Scott Sullivan (1-0, 1 KO), who both won their pro debuts Sept. 12th. Sullivan faces unbeaten lightweight Oscar Bonilla (2-0-1) of New Haven, Conn., while Oliveira Jr. takes on 6-foot-3 super middleweightMike Rodriguez (0-1) of Springfield, Mass.
Unbeaten Worcester, Mass., middleweight prospect Khiary Gray-Pitts (2-0, 1 KO) faces Greg Thomas (0-4) of Philadelphia. Warwick, R.I., super middleweight and Air Force vet Zack Christy (1-0), who also debuted in September, returns to faceSergio Cabrera (0-4) of Somerville, Mass.

LINCOLN, R.I. (July 27th, 2013) – No sooner had he wrapped the belt around his waist than Rich Gingras found himself empty-handedSaturday night in one of the wildest finishes in the history of Rhode Island boxing.
Shortly after it was announced Gingras (13-3-1) had dethronedVladine Biosse (15-2-2) to capture the New England Super Middleweight Title in the main event of Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports’ “Game On” show at Twin River Casino, the Rhode Island Athletic Commission admitted it miscalculated the scores and that the bout had actually been scored a majority draw, allowing Biosse to escape with his title.
Judge Glen Feldman’s score was originally counted as 77-76 in favor of Gingras, which, at the time, gave Gingras a 77-76, 77-75, 76-76 majority decision win. Feldman actually scored the bout 76-76, matching Wayne Lima’s score, resulting in a majority draw.
The fight itself was as good as advertised with both Gingras and Biosse trading blows non-stop for eight rounds. After a slow first round, the action picked up in the second and never waned until the final bell. Gingras was the aggressor for most of the fight, utilizing wide hooks and uppercuts to slow Biosse, while Biosse spent the latter half of the fight with his back to the ropes slugging his way out of trouble. Neither fighter worked to establish his jab, instead punching and counterpunching with sheer force for eight rounds.
The co-feature had its own controversy as Jersey City, N.J., middleweight Chris Chatman (11-2-1) edged hometown favoriteThomas Falowo (10-2) of Pawtucket, R.I., 77-75 on all three scorecards. Similar to the main event, both fighters slugged it out for eight rounds. Chatman started strong as the aggressor, but Falowo fought back and showed incredible stamina by turning the tide in the final three rounds. The difference was a knockdown scored by Chatman in the fourth in which he picked himself off the canvas following a questionable knockdown and caught Falowo on the temple with a wide, left hook. Falowo sputtered backward and crashed to the canvas. Visibly hurt – and upset – Falowo punched canvas before getting back on his feet.
Making his Twin River debut after having just fought eight days ago in New Hampshire, Russell Lamour (5-0) of Portland, Maine dominated Woonsocket, R.I., veteran and fan favorite Joe Gardner (11-7-1), stopping Gardner 38 seconds into the sixth and final round after sending Gardner to the canvas three times.
Lamour scored the first three knockdowns in the closing seconds of the third, fourth and fifth rounds with vicious body shots, and ultimately went to the body again at the start of the sixth to finish Gardner for good. The win was Lamour’s second in eight days – both by knockout – while Gardner lost his second consecutive fight.
Female bantamweight Marcia Agripino (1-0) of Groton, Conn., made a strong impression in her professional debut, sending Brooklyn, N.Y., veteran Vanessa Greco (1-3-3) to the canvas within minutes of the opening round and ultimately coasting to a 40-35, 40-35, 39-36 unanimous decision win. Hartford junior welterweight “Jabbin’” Joe Wilson (1-0) also dominated in his debut Saturday, outworking the tough Saul Almeida (0-3) of Framingham, Mass., to earn the unanimous 40-36 decision on all three scorecards.
Also on the undercard, Providence super middleweight KJ Harrison-Lombardi(2-2) remained unbeaten with a 39-37, 40-36, 40-36 unanimous decision win over Boston’s Maceo Crowder (2-2).
