PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Nov. 3rd, 2014) — With its 2014 season finale less than a week away, CES Boxing has secured a dynamic co-feature for “Winner Take All,” scheduled for Friday, Nov. 7th, 2014 at Twin River Casino.
Super middleweight Angel Camacho Jr. (12-0, 4 KOs) of Providence, R.I., will now face Hyannis, Mass., vet Paul Gonsalves (7-4-1, 3 KOs) in a six-round bout. 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.
Friday’s event features eight bouts, 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.
