Sampson Boxing cancels April 24th show

Sampson Boxing and Paco Boxing have announced the postponement of their boxing event, originally scheduled for Friday, April 24th at the Cannery Casino & Hotel in Las Vegas. It was to have featured Argentina’s Alberto “Beto” Palmetta (13-1, 9 KOs) taking on Mexico’s Jorge Alberto “El Chihuas” Brito (13-1, 8 KOs) in a welterweight main event, as well as Colombia’s Yeis “El Tigre” Solano (15-0, 10 KOs) facing Dominican Republic’s Starling “El Poli” Castillo (11-0, 8 KOs) at 140 pounds and Uruguay's Amilcar “Pety” Vidal (11-0, 10 KOs) against Texas' Donald Reed (8-0-1, 5 KOs) at middleweight. “Although I am disappointed in this postponement, I am proud to see the boxing community’s responding to the virus in such a unified and responsible way,” said Sampson Lewkowicz. “To the Boxing Hall of Fame and all my fellow promoters who have had to postpone or cancel their events in the name of fighter safety, I salute and look forward to many more unforgettable nights of boxing when this is all over.” Lewkowicz says he will announce a new date when conditions are once again favorable to live events.
