PROVIDENCE, RI – CES Boxing continues its busy fall schedule with 2 scintillating cards taking place on back-to-back weekends in late October and early November.
On October 25, top welterweight contender "Speedy" Rashidi Ellis (24-1, 15 KOs) makes his CES Boxing debut on "Halloween Knock Out" against Argentine strongman Brian Chaves (14-5, 5 KOs). The bout takes place at the Oceanside Events Center in Revere, MA and will feature many of the best prospects in the Boston area.
A week later on November 2, unbeaten lightweight prospect Alejandro "El Abusador" Paulino (18-0, 14 KOs) headlines “CES Autumn Classic” against his toughest opponent to date in Toka Kahn Clary (29-3, 19 KOs). The fight will be part of a fantastic card taking place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut that also features jr. welterweight prospect Wilson “Ill Will” Mascarenhas (11-1, 5 KOs), New England Super Featherweight Champion “King” Kevin Walsh (14-0, 7 KOs) and several other high-profile matchups to be announced.
“These are 2 fantastic nights of boxing taking place a week apart in New England,” said CES Boxing founder Jimmy Burchfield, Sr. “Rashidi Ellis was one of our shining stars on the Boston Butchers this year, and he is only one or two fights away from challenging for a major world title. Alejandro Paulino is one of our best prospects in many years. He’s taking a step-up fight against a very tough Toka Kahn Clary and will have to be at his best to pass the test and graduate to contender.”
Additional details, including press conference info, to be announced in the coming weeks.

Leader of Elm City Communities/Housing Authority of New Haven Chosen to Succeed Will Ginsberg on Nov. 2
New Haven, Conn. (Sept. 17, 2024) – The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven has named Dr. Karen DuBois-Walton as the next president and chief executive officer of the region’s community endowment and largest grant maker to local nonprofits. DuBois-Walton, most recently the president Elm City Communities/Housing Authority of New Haven, succeeds Will Ginsberg, who is stepping down after 24 years, on Nov. 2.
“I am thrilled to be taking on this leadership role at The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven and for the opportunity to work with the team and in this community with so many committed volunteers and donors to build a stronger, more connected and more equitable Greater New Haven Region," DuBois-Walton said. "My vision for the future is one where we work together to create a more equitable and inclusive Greater New Haven — a region where every resident in all 20 towns has the chance to thrive, regardless of their background or zip code. This is the work I have committed to in my personal and professional career and it is what I am most excited to continue at The Foundation. This work requires bold and collaborative solutions and my work is known for that."
Dr. DuBois-Walton brings two decades of leadership experience in government and public sectors. For the past 16 years, she has been president of Elm City Communities/Housing Authority of the City of New Haven (HANH), which serves more than 6,000 families and 14,000 individuals and includes the Glendower Group, LLC (the development affiliate of HANH) and 360 Management Group, Inc. (the property management affiliate). Leading the $800 million umbrella organization, she has spearheaded initiatives to address systemic inequities in housing and community development, education and economic access and opportunity
“Karen is an extraordinary leader of high integrity. She has a longstanding commitment to Greater New Haven and possesses the experience and vision needed for bringing together all stakeholders to create a more equitable and inclusive community.” said The Foundation Board Chair Marcella Nunez-Smith. “As we welcome Karen, we also extend our immense gratitude to Will for his leadership and overseeing the incredible growth of The Foundation during his tenure.”
The search process for a new president and CEO began following Ginsberg’s announcement in the fall of 2023 that he would retire in November 2024. He has served at The Foundation’s helm since 2000.
The Community Foundation Board of Directors chose Dr. DuBois-Walton following a rigorous national search conducted by a committee of current and former board members in partnership with Koya Partners, a search firm that specializes in placing CEOs in mission-driven roles.
“Karen has the unique combination of leadership ability, experience and deep connection to and passion for the Greater New Haven community that put her at the top of a very talented candidate pool,” said Fernando Muñiz, chair of the search committee and vice chair of The Foundation’s Board of Directors. “I thank my fellow committee members for their time, expertise and wisdom in completing this important work and we all look forward to The Foundation’s next chapter with Karen as our new leader.”
In addition to Muñiz, other search committee members included Nunez-Smith, current Board members Greg Pepe and Valarie Shultz Wilson, and former Board Chair Khalilah Brown-Dean.
“Karen is a great member of our community and a longtime inspirational community leader. She is a perfect fit for The Community Foundation because she knows our community, she understands our community and she loves our community. The Foundation’s Board could not have made a better choice,” said Ginsberg.
Dr. DuBois-Walton holds advanced degrees in clinical psychology and is the immediate past chair of the CT State Board of Education. She previously served as chief of staff and chief administrative officer for Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. in New Haven.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Dr. DuBois-Walton is actively engaged in community building, advocacy and civic leadership. She serves as chair of the Board of the Melville Charitable Trust, overseeing a $130 M asset base and directing program and mission-related investments toward addressing the root causes of the crisis of homelessness. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Yale University, and master’s degree and Ph.D. from Boston University. She resides in New Haven with her family.
