Atlantic City, NJ – The Jersey Boy, super welterweight contender Glen Tapia of Passiac, N.J., returns to the ring at Bally’s Park Place on Saturday, October 4.
Tapia, 21-1 with 13 knockouts, will take on Donatas Bondorvas, 18-5-1, 6 KOs, of Lithuania in the 10 round main event.
Tapia, 24, is coming off a powerful performance here at Bally’s, blasting out Keenan Collin in one round several months ago.
“I want to entertain. This is what I live for, I love boxing. I like being inside the ring more than anything,” Tapia said.
Tapia is handled by Pat Lynch, the longtime manager of former superstar champion Arturo Gatti of New Jersey.

Jesse will have his father – the famous Philadelphia champion Eugene ‘Cyclone’ Hart – in his corner on fight night. Jesse, 25, is a sensational prospect at 168 pounds. He is a former amateur star, a gold medalist at the 2011 U.S. National Championships and the National Golden Gloves Championships.
