In the co-featured attraction knockout artist Jaidon Codrington (6-0, 6 KO's), fighting out of Queens, will square off against Glen Rayburn (13-3-1, 8 KO's), of Delaware, Ohio, in an eight-round super middleweight contest.

In addition, a youthful pair of talented fighters will be representing the borough of Brooklyn on the card. Rising star Curtis Stevens (4-0, 4 KO's) will see action in a six-round light heavyweight bout, while cruiserweight Sam Elashry (4-3, 1 KO), who originally hails from Cairo, Egypt, looks to gain momentum in a four-round contest.
Queens product Washington Hago will be making his pro debut in a four-round junior lightweight tilt against Michael Mendez (0-1-1), of Orlando, Florida. Staten Island's unbeaten super bantamweight Gary Stark, Jr. (10-0, 5 KO's) takes on Luis Rivera (8-8, 2 KO's), of New Haven, Connecticut, in a six-round affair.
The Broadway Boxing cards originate from venues in the five boroughs, the greater New York Metropolitan Tri-State area, and Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. Mohegan Sun is the series site sponsor. Turner Construction, HBO Sports, and Gallagher's Steak House are also sponsors.
The card will be broadcast live on HDNet, and on a later date on Madison Square Garden Network, Fox Sports Net New England, Empire Sports Net and Comcast Sportnet Chicago.
