“BRAWL IN THE HALL”

Boxing in The Ballroom At Boardwalk Hall April 11, 2009

Dee Lee Promotion and GNP Boxing has announced that Philadelphia light middleweight sensation Derek “Pooh” Ennis (17-2-1/12 ko’s) to take on Baltimore’s Ismail “The Arsenal” Arvin (15-1-4/7 ko’s) for the USBA Regional Junior Title in a 10 round Junior Middleweight war on Saturday April 11, 2009. The hard hitting Ennis is looking to avenge fellow Philadelphian Anthony Thompson’s recent loss to “The Arsenal’ and take the belt back to the City of Brotherly Love. The evening’s card takes place in the Ballroom at Boardwalk Hall. The first fight is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

The co–feature on this solid nine bout card features Camden’s Luis “Kid Duran” Burgos (10-0-1/4ko’s) returning to the ring in his first comeback test. Burgos was a highly regarded welterweight prior to his ring hiatus and New Jersey boxing fans will be anxious to see if he can pick up where he left off.

The bulk of the undercard has a distinct Atlantic City home grown flavor and is highlighted by former 2008 Olympic Alternate and Pan American Bronze Medalist Qa’id “Kidd Dynamite” Muhammad. Since turning pro, “Q”, is 4-0-0 with 4 ko’s. Muhammad is looking to keep the knockouts coming and the undefeated record rolling.

Qa’id Muhammad’s young stablemates, light heavyweight Lavarn Harvell (2-0-0), and super middleweight Joel Delapaz (2-0-0/1 ko), join him on this fight card. Other Atlantic City boxers, including Jacolyn Nicols, Eugene Soto, Art Parker and William Porter, will make their pro-debuts on the undercard.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, February 25 at noon and are priced at $55, $45, $35, and $20. Tickets can be purchased at the Boardwalk Hall Box Office, all Ticketmaster locations, at ticketmaster.com or call 800-736-1420.
