Headlining the night’s action in a 10-round middleweight main event, New York’s rising contender Jahi Tucker (15-1-1, 6 KOs) makes his Paramount debut as he continues his climb up the rankings, facing Minnesota’s dangerous and battle-tested Sona Akale (10-4, 5 KOs) in a matchup that promises nonstop action from the opening bell.


Also featured on the card, Elmont’s undefeated knockout artist, U.S. Marine veteran, and Hofstra University master’s student Peter Latorre (5-0, 5 KOs) puts his perfect 100% KO ratio on the line in a 6-round welterweight showdown against Uruguay’s dangerous Jose Edgardo Perdomo (10-9-0, 6 KOs) of Montevideo. Perdomo is coming off a stunning knockout upset of a previously undefeated prospect at the Paramount and has proven he has the power to derail any rising star.


Adding to the night’s fireworks, Poland’s heavyweight powerhouse Piotr Lacz (14-0-1, 10 KOs) brings his unbeaten record and knockout reputation to The Paramount for an 8-round heavyweight clash against New Orleans’ hard-hitting challenger Dominique "Giant Killer"Valera (9-1-2, 5 KOs) in a collision of size, power, and momentum.



In a 4-round welterweight bout, Queens’ fan favorite David Malul (4-0, 2 KOs) returns to the ring looking to keep his undefeated run alive as he continues to build his name among New York’s most exciting emerging fan-favorite prospects.


Kicking off the action, Huntington’s own knockout artist Ralph Clemente (2-0, 2 KOs) returns to his hometown crowd in a 4-round bout, taking on Spanaway, Washington’s Thomas Turner (1-1) in what promises to be an explosive contest as Clemente looks to keep his perfect stoppage record intact.


With an exciting mix of undefeated prospects, international talent, and hard-nosed matchups, Rockin’ Fights once again delivers the type of action that has made the series a staple of the New York fight scene.
