Opportunity knocked, and “Mr. Providence” answered.

With undefeated super middleweight Angel Camacho Jr. sustaining a broken foot, forcing him to withdraw from his upcoming megabout against Rhode Island icon Peter Manfredo Jr., fellow Ocean State veteran Vladine Biosse has answered the call to face Manfredo at Twin River Casino on Friday, May 13th, 2016.

“THE BATTLE FOR THE CAPITAL” between “The Pride of Providence” Manfredo (40-7, 21 KOs) and “Mr. Providence” Biosse (15-7-2, 7 KOs) takes place nearly nine years to the date of Twin River’s professional boxing debut, which occurred May 11th, 2007 and starred Manfredo in a knockout win over Ted Muller.

“It’s a great opportunity for me to go out there and showcase my talent versus his talent,” Biosse said. “It’s an honor to share a ring with a man who I’ve been friends with outside of the ring even before boxing. He’s shown me nothing but love, so to go in there and share a ring with a man like that and compete, it feels good.”

A former track star at Hope High School in Providence and college football standout at the University of Rhode Island, the 33-year-old Biosse rose to stardom on the regional circuit with nationally televised wins over Joey McCreedy and Tim Connors on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights.

The affable southpaw became the toast of the town at the age of 29 in 2012 when he dominated fellow Providence native Joey Spina in a breakthrough unanimous decision win at Twin River to earn state bragging rights and capture the then vacant New England Super Middleweight Title.

More than a year later, Biosse put his belt on the line against Rhode Islander Rich Gingras and fought to a controversial draw, his last fight in Rhode Island until July of 2015. Biosse faced a laundry list of talented 168-pounders over the next two years, among them J’Leon Love, undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) Silver Super Middleweight Champion Callum Smith, Andre Dirrell and Ukrainian standout Sergiy Derevyanchenko.

No stranger to tough fights, Biosse now faces another Rhode Island foe in Manfredo (40-7, 21 KOs), who’s ending a 2 Ã?½-year layoff with his first fight since November of 2013 when he stopped Gingras in the eighth round of a scheduled 10-round fight.

The Manfredo-Biosse headliner at “THE BATTLE FOR THE CAPITAL” is one of nine fights on a stacked card featuring two title bouts in addition to the professional debuts of two accomplished amateurs from Worcester, Mass.

Worcester’s Khiary Gray (12-0, 9 KOs) also returns on May 13th and puts his Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) Northeast Junior Middleweight Title on the line against Fort Meyers, Fla., vet Quinton Willis (10-3-2, 5 KOs) in an 8-round bout while unbeaten New Haven, Conn., welterweight Jimmy Williams (10-0-1, 5 KOs) faces St. Petersburg, Fla., veteran Manny Woods (15-4-1, 5 KOs) in a six-round bout.

Undefeated Springfield, Mass., junior welterweight Zack Ramsey (7-0, 3 KOs) steps back into the ring for the first time since 2014 to face 20-fight vet Issouf Kinda (17-3, 7 KOs) of New York in a six-round bout and regional standouts Nick DeLomba (8-1, 2 KOs) of Cranston, R.I., and the undefeated Freddy Sanchez (7-0, 5 KOs) of Worcester face off in a 6-round bout for the vacant New England Super Featherweight Title.

The May 13th undercard also features a six-round rematch between Stoughton, Mass., super featherweight Travis Demko (4-0, 1 KO) and Mohamad Allam (2-1, 1 KO) of Holyoke, Mass. The two faced one another in September with Demko winning by unanimous decision in a 4-round bout.

Also returning to Twin River, unbeaten Framingham, Mass., lightweight Julio Perez (4-0) faces Providence’s Cido Hoff (0-0-1) in a 4-round bout. Worcester’s Kendrick Ball Jr. makes his professional debut in a 4-round super middleweight bout against Providence’s Tunde Odumosu while fellow Worcster native Jamaine Ortiz debuts in a 4-round super lightweight bout against Skowhegan, Maine vet Josh Parker (0-2-1).For full fight card and more details about this event, visit gfl.tv or click here

Dez More v Albert Tapia

In the main event Dez “M-80” Moore battles Albert Tapia. Des Moore is coming off his only professional loss and that was up a weight class in a five-round battle against a much larger Andrew Czeh.

An American Top Team member, Moore has moved down to Florida to train full time and is back fighting close to his old stomping grounds in Pennsylvania. Back in his preferred weight class, he takes on a very ready, Albert Tapia.

Tapia loves training full time as he spends most of his days in the UFC Gym. Both fighters are cardio machines. This could be five-rounds of nonstop action.

Nah-shon Burrell (13-6) vs Dustin Long (6-1) – 185 lb GPG Championship – 5 ROUNDS
Burrell is a Philly born and bred fighter. The Rock-n-Rolla has fought in the UFC and Bellator. He has a huge heart and brings the fight to anyone who stands before him. His last time in the cage at GPG 23, he battered Canadian, Ryan Dickson and took home the belt with a barrage of combinations.

His fans will be in attendance, and they will be loud! Dustin Long brings in a nice 6-2 record with four submissions. He is a veteran on TUF. Dustin knows he will be in hostile territory but has no fear and is coming for the belt!

Darren Mima 7-4 vs. Juan Puerta 11-4 at 125 lbs.
This is shaping up to be a grudge match as Puerta took this fight on three weeks notice and has said that he wanted this fight and was going to get the win. He had some harsh words for his opponent. Mima is a very powerful fighter and is always in excellent shape. He has aspirations of making it to the UFC so he cannot afford a loss against Puerta who also believes that is where he belongs.For full fight card and more details about this event, visit gfl.tv or click here
