Top-10 ranked light heavyweight Ali Izmailov (10-0, 7 KOs) faces his toughest test to date when he takes on fellow unbeaten Charles Foster (22-0, 12 KOs) in the 10-round main event as ShoBox: The New Generation returns to Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y., during Hall of Fame Weekend on Friday, June 9 on Showtime. This marks the second straight year ShoBox will be a part of the Hall of Fame Induction Weekend festivities.

The tripleheader features two undefeated matchups and includes fighters with a combined record of 99-2-2 and 56 knockouts. In the co-feature, Richard Vansiclen (13-0-1, 6 KOs) takes on fellow unbeaten Juan Carrillo (10-0, 8 KOs) in a 10-round light heavyweight matchup. In the telecast opener, former ShoBox main-event winner and rising super lightweight prospect Mykquan Williams (19-0-1, 8 KOs) will face Ryan Martin (25-2, 15 KOs) in a 10-rounder.

  • I’m not familiar with all of these fighters, but this direction boxing needs to go. Boxers with good records fighting each other. Boxing will not survive old school one sided matchmaking. Too much competition these days MMA, BKFC.
