of JAMES LESTOR at "Rockin' Fights."
ANTHONY LAUREANO had these comments about returning to
Mohegan Sun, "I'm humbled and very grateful to be back in Mohegan

war. I'm ready to give a great performance for my hometown
supporters. I am Ready to give the crowd what they paid for, an
action packed fight."

style is the kind that fans want to see. In front of his hometown fans on June
30th, he will prove once again why he embodies the nickname
"Action."'

SMITH JR. who burst onto the boxing scene in 2016 when he
defeated, top rated light heavyweight, ANDRZEJ FONFARA on NBC in
Chicago, and again later that year, when he knocked the legend BERNARD

former multi-division world champion. The co-feature bout highlights New

coming off her sensational power punching performance against undisputed
women's champion CECILIA BRAEKHUS in the first female bout ever
featured on HBO. Kali thrilled fans around the world in that
fight, and promises the same action at Mohegan Sun on June 30th.
