CLIP Boxing Promotions Host Shows In Detroit On October 24th and November 1st

Press Release:

Longtime Detroit-based promoter Carlos Llinas of CLIP Boxing proudly announces two professional boxing shows in a span of just eight days at Sound Board in MotorCity Casino Hotel.

Tomorrow night (Friday, October 24), Llinas and CLIP boxing will present “Night of Knockouts XXXVI (36),” featuring Toronto, Canada’s undefeated Jaquan Carty (10-0, 7 KOs) taking on Chicago’s Semajay Thomas (11-1, 8 KOs) in the 10-round super welterweight main event.

A former national champion who was widely known as “Canada Best Amateur Boxer” before turning professional in 2023, the highly promising 27-year-old Carty was last seen scoring an impressive second-round stoppage over previously undefeated (10-0) UK-based prospect Graham Tirrell in August.

32-year-old Thomas won the United States National Light Welterweight Amateur Championship in 2011 and was once considered a blue-chip prospect and future champion. Thomas, however, is coming off six-year period of inactivity and will be looking to resume his promising career with an eye-catching victory over the formidable Carty.

Also on the card, Daishaun Bundrage (1-0, 1 KO), the son of Detroit’s former two-time IBF Junior Middleweight Champion Cornelius “K9” Bundrage, will have his second professional fight against Bossier City, Louisiana, veteran Lamar Bolden.

On the jam-packed undercard will be local fan favorites Josiah Shackleford (7-2, 4 KOs), Wesley Rivers (10-6, 4 KOs), undefeated Kevin Carree (5-0-1, 3 KOs), Ferris Dixon (6-1, 3 KOs), Marcus Wilson (5-0-1, 2 KOs) and several other local and international prospects in competitive matchups.

The most active and consistent boxing promoter in Detroit over the last two decades and the leading name in keeping the storied history of Motown boxing alive, promoter Carlos Llinas says he’s excited for his show tomorrow night, as every episode of his wildly popular and long-running Night of Knockouts series has sold out.

Carlos Llinas and CLIP Boxing will present “Night of Knockouts 37,” featuring a hybrid night of professional boxing and kickboxing.

Just the second of its kind Llinas has presented, highlighting the boxing portion of the show will be Grand Rapids, Michigan’s undefeated super welterweight Justin Lacey-Pierce (12-0, 7 KOs) taking on all-action veteran Courtney Pennington (17-10-3, 7 KOs) of Brooklyn in a guaranteed eight-round thriller, as well as Pontiac, Michigan’s Samuel Rizzo (9-1, 6 KOs) in six-round battle against St. Louis scrapper Deonta Williamson (2-4, 2 KOs).

Also appearing will be undefeated Toledo-based knockout artist Jeffery Hudson (5-0, 5 KOs) looking to keep his featherweight record perfect in a four-round fight against St. Louis’s Rashad Hicks (2-4-1, 1 KO) and Grand Rapids welterweight Ulysses Campos (3-0, 3 KOs) putting his hard-punching skill against an opponent TBA in a four-round battle.

In addition to these boxing bouts will be a full-throttle night of kickboxing to satisfy Detroit’s thriving kickboxing scene and its many fans.
