Brooklyn Brawl returns to Webster Hall Jan 22nd

Brooklyn, NY (December 8, 2014)--The Holiday Season is in full swing, and soon enough, we will be ringing in the New Year. Already, plans are being hashed out for the year in boxing 2015, and promoter Dmitriy Salita is anticipating the forthcoming year will be chock full of stellar live events, and marked growth for the fighters under his Star of David Promotions banner.  On Jan. 22, Star of David will throw a New Year's bash, and present an evening of professional boxing at the famed New York City venue Webster Hall, Salita announced today.  "I am happy to be back in Webster Hall, a beautiful landmark building in the heart of New York City," Salita said. "The January 22nd show will showcase some of the hottest contenders and prospects in the world. The card is stacked from top to bottom!"  Topping the bill will be cruiserweight contender Steven Bujaj (13-0-1), who will defend his New York State cruiserweight title in an eight round bout. Also on the card will be the man who gave Bujaj the roughest test of his career, Junior Wright (12-0-1). The Chicago-based hitter, newly signed to Star of David, fought Bujaj to a draw last May, and has notched two wins since that scrap. Wright will compete in a six-round bout. Wright, who has his eyes on a world title crack soon, is currently in training camp with WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson, to help the Canada-based fighter prepare for his next bout.  Salita is thrilled to have Russian cruiserweight Alexey Zubov (6-0, 4 KOs) on the Webster Hall event. The national amateur champion fought more than 120 amateur bouts, and possesses power in both hands, so it's a good bet he will score a highlight-reel knockout in NYC. Also compteting in six round bouts will be New York city favorites and Brooklyn Brawl regulars lightweight Dimash Niyazov (6-0-3, 4 KO's) & Middleweight Akil Auguste.  Marcos Suarez (3-0-1, 1 KO) will also return to the ring in a four-round Jr. Welterweight bout; all three have a loyal fan base who cheer them on at Star of David promotions.  Popular Italian fighter Super Featherweight  Floriano Pagliara, a fan fave in the NYC region, returns to the ring as well in a six round bout. The show will take place at Landmark NYC venue Webster Hall.  Click here for tix info.

Star of David Promotions inks amateur standout pro prospect Alexey Zubov

Brooklyn, NY (December 1, 2014)--Dmitriy Salita is pleased and excited to announce a new addition to the Star of David Promotions roster.   Cruiserweight prospect Alexey Zubov, a Russian-born boxer with a tremendous amateur predigree, and 6-0 (4 KOs) mark as a professional, has been signed to Star of David, the promoter announced today.   The 28-year-old right-hander Zubov is 6-2 1/2, owns power in both hands, and will be moving to NYC to make his stand in the professional ranks. He debuted in April with a KO1 win, and Salita sees a bunch more of those type of victories coming in the near future.   "Alexey is one of the best prospects in boxing," Salita said. "He has the skills, size and work ethic to be a cruiserweight and heavyweight champion. The invaluable experience he gained as an elite amateur will help him progress quickly in the pros. I am confident that Alexey's aggressive style will make him very popular amongst boxing fans and in New York's Russian community."   Good news for fight fans, then; Zubov will fight on a Salita pro boxing card Jan. 22, at Webster Hall, in Manhattan.    Zubov's manager, Leo Khorolinsky, who also handles lightweight ace Denis Shafikov, shared some insights and thoughts about the Russian prospect. "Zubov was a very good amateur, a national champion, and he's done well his first few fights. I think he is very talented, and he's been sparring with some of the best people out there. He should be able to do very well at cruiserweight, and then possibly move up to heavyweight. He just needs to adjust more to the pro style, be more selective with his punches. And true success is just a matter of time! I believe in him, and he's an interesting prospect to watch. He has everything it takes to be a future star."   Check the Star of David website for ticket information, so you can check out rising star Zubov in person.
