Five action packed fights will support the Cletus “The Hebrew Hammer” Seldin- Orlando Vazquez WBC International Silver Jr. Welterweight title fight, Friday, March 5th at The Paramount in Huntington, NY, on the Joe DeGuardia Star Boxing event.

The undercard will feature former Cuban amateur star Luis Franco (13-1-1 9KO Miami, FL) taking on Tyrone Luckey (8-5-2 6KO Middletown, NJ) in an 8 round Jr. Lightweight matchup.

Franco had a storied amateur career winning many national and international titles and has a draw with current WBA world champion Javier Fortuna. Luckey, in his last appearance at The Paramount, scored a huge upset win over popular local fighter Anthony Karperis on October 24, 2015.
