For the first time in six and a half years, Let’s Get It On Promotions and the Silver Legacy Resort & Casino will present an evening of world-class professional boxing, this Friday, March 20th in downtown Reno, Nevada. The fight card will feature Northern Nevada’s top talent, with world-renowned trainer Eddy Reynoso and ‘No Boxing No Life’ Management bringing two of their own boxers to the show. Reno’s Ken “The Biggest Lil Bomber” Davis (15-2-1) will headline in lightweight action against Orlando Zepeda (13-4) of Mexico. Tickets are available, but in short supply. Rigside seats are currently sold out. Remaining tickets can be purchased at the Silver Legacy box office or by visiting ticketmaster.com.
“It feels great to bring boxing back to Reno,” says Let’s Get It On Promotions’ Terry Lane. “There has been an incredible response from the community. Reno is a small-ish but strong boxing market, rich with history. There will be more events to come.”
Standout Cuban heavyweight Yoandy Toirac (3-0) will face Zedric Stephenson (5-5) in a six-round bout. Also on the card will be light heavyweight Yahir Trejo (7-0) vs. Frankie Solomon (5-4-1) in a six-round bout.
As far as local attractions, Carson City’s Christian Avalos (4-4-2) will attempt to avenge his loss to Ebert Diaz (3-4-1) of Richmond, CA in a six-round junior welterweight scrap... Avalos’ cousin and decorated amateur boxer, Miguel ‘Tito’ Elizondo, also from the state capital, will be making his professional debut... and Reno’s Joshua Nelson will also be lacing up the gloves for the first time as pro in a four-round lightweight bout.
