New England's Future Tickets

In recent years, the boxing scene in New England has seen a significant resurgence. From the amateur ranks to the professionals, there seems to be a new wave of talent emerging from the region.

One of the most prominent names in New England boxing is young star Demetrious Andrade. The Providence native is a former Olympian and world champion who currently holds the WBO middleweight title. Andrade has been dominant in his career thus far, boasting an unbeaten record of 30-0 with 18 knockouts.

But Andrade isn't the only fighter making waves in the region. The Worcester-born Edwin Rodriguez is another rising star in the sport. Currently ranked as the #10 light heavyweight in the world, Rodriguez has amassed a record of 34-2 with 24 knockouts.

In addition to these established fighters, there are many up-and-coming boxers from the area. Young prospects like Mark DeLuca and Carlos Gongora are starting to make a name for themselves on the national scene.

This resurgence can be attributed to a few factors. For one, New England has always had a rich history in the sport of boxing. Legends like Rocky Marciano, Marvin Hagler, and Sugar Ray Leonard all spent time fighting in the area. This legacy has helped to inspire a new generation of fighters.

Additionally, the region has been home to some excellent training facilities and coaches. The Peter Welch’s Gym in Boston has become a hub for local fighters looking to hone their skills. Promoters like CES Boxing have also played a pivotal role in bringing big fights to the area.

Looking ahead, the future of New England boxing looks bright. With talented prospects like DeLuca and Gongora emerging, there's no reason why the region can't continue to produce top-level fighters. And with established stars like Andrade and Rodriguez leading the charge, New England is once again becoming a force to be reckoned with in the world of boxing.
