RICHARD J. CODEY ARENA
WEST ORANGE, NJ
New York, NY / West Orange, NJ (1/29/14) – Tomorrow afternoon, all of the fighters for ESPN Friday Night Fights‘ special-edition triple-header will weigh-in for Friday night’s much anticipated card. The card, on the eve of Super Bowl weekend, is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, in association with GH3 Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions, and will take place at the Richard J. Codey Arena, in West Orange, NJ.
Headlining the card will be highly regarded light heavyweight contender Blake Caparello (18-0-1, 6KO’s) making his much anticipated U.S. debut when he takes on the always-exciting Elvir Muriqi (40-5, 21KO’s) in a 10-round light heavyweight showdown. Junior featherweights Luis Rosa (15-0, 7KO’s) and Jorge Diaz (17-2, 10KO’s) meet in the eight-round co-feature, which is a guaranteed barnburner, and opening up the telecast will be 19-year-old sensation Dusty Hernandez-Harrison (19-0, 11KO’s) in his national T.V. debut when he squares off against Tim Witherspoon Jr. (10-3-1, 2KO’s) in an eight-round welterweight contest.
The triple-header is presented by Corona Extra ESPN will begin live coverage at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2, broadband Spanish-language ESPN Deportes+ and WatchESPN.
