Boxing Event Announced: Mill City Mayhem Set to Thrill Audiences
2025-05-16

A major announcement is set to take place this Sunday as CES Boxing gathers the press at the Blue Shamrock in Lowell. The event will unveil the much-anticipated fight card for 'Mill City Mayhem,' scheduled for June 21st at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. Tickets are now available, with prices starting at $52, and can be purchased through CES Fights or the Lowell Auditorium's official website. This press gathering follows the conclusion of Micky’s Run, a charity road race supporting Team Micky Ward charities.

Following the race, which begins at 11 a.m., attendees will enjoy a post-race celebration before transitioning to the press conference at 1 p.m. Among those expected to attend are boxing champions and prospects such as Rashidi Ellis, known as the "Savage with a Smile," and undefeated middleweight contender Michael Fontanez. Ellis, who hails from nearby Lynn, aims to secure a world title opportunity after signing with CES. Meanwhile, Fontanez seeks to build on his recent victory over Ray Oliveira Jr., looking to elevate his standing in the sport. The historic Lowell Memorial Auditorium, renowned for hosting Golden Gloves since 1947, provides an iconic backdrop for these rising stars.

Micky Ward, a Lowell icon and former World Boxing Union super lightweight champion, will also make an appearance. Ward’s legendary fights, including his epic trilogy with Arturo Gatti, have left an indelible mark on the sport. His presence underscores the rich boxing tradition of New England, where many fighters, including himself, made their debut in the auditorium located where the Merrimack and Concord rivers meet. Fans and media alike are invited to participate in the press conference for unique insights into the preparations and aspirations of the fighters, as well as remarks by CES Boxing founder Jimmy Burchfield Sr.

The spirit of competition and camaraderie thrives in Lowell, where the past meets the present in a celebration of athletic excellence. As fans eagerly anticipate 'Mill City Mayhem,' they are reminded that boxing not only showcases physical prowess but also embodies determination and resilience. These values resonate beyond the ring, inspiring future generations to pursue greatness with passion and integrity.
