Tuesday Night Fights is a smash hit with Philly fight fans

Next installment set for Tuesday, September 16 at 2300 Arena

Philadelphia (September 10, 2014)-On Tuesday night, September 16 at the 2300 Arena in South Philadelphia, Joe Hand Promotions and D & D Management will present the 2nd installment of Tuesday Night Fights. This show is coming on the heels of a terrific inaugural card that took place on July 29and played to a sold out crowd at the 2300 Arena. The concept is to showcase local Philadelphia fighters in pro-am events that will feature the present and future of Philadelphia boxing. The masterminds behind the series are Joe Hand Sr., Doc Nowicki and Dave Price. To say Hand is a longtime fixture in boxing would be an understatement as he has been in the business dating back to him being one of the first co-managers of former world champion Joe Frazier.   Hand has managed, promoted and over the past 40 years has been the leading closed circuit and Pay Per View distributor for some of the biggest events all over the world. He also is the owner of the most popular and successful Boxing Gym in Philadelphia for over two decades. "We started the series not looking to make money on it, but to help the kids," said Hand of the grass roots series. "I see these fighters working hard in the gym everyday and they cant get fights.  They are entitled to a career in boxing." Nowicki has been a very successful manager in the Philadelphia area as he guided the careers of Teon Kennedy and Mike Jones to world title opportunities and now has the same world title aspirations for undefeated Super Middleweight Jesse Hart. "My vision of the series is young, hungry fighters that are exciting and getting opportunities in their hometown in even matched fights," said Nowicki. "We plan to keep the shows low budget.  Not in talent but to make it affordable for the average person can come out and enjoy a night at the fights.  We want to create special nights where a father can take his son and it also creates interest in the boxing world in Philadelphia.  It's great for people to be able to come see a great night of fights." Price, who was a passionate fight fan turned manager and now promoter echos the thoughts of Hand and Nowicki. "I am very excited about the new series where we are able to bring quality fights and fighters back to Philadelphia.  If we get the proper support, we can accomplish that goal.", said Price. Slated to appear on the card will be Welterweight Greg Jackson (3-0-1, 1 KO), debuting Jr. Middleweight Donte Wright and debuting Jr. Welterweight Jerome Conquest. There will be seven amateur bouts prior to the professional card that will be headlined by national Golden Gloves champion Christian Carto and Eric Gordon in a 3-round bout in the 110-pound weight division.
