Legacy Boxing promoter John Carden and Matchmaker Rob Merritt, along with the St. Joseph Mustangs baseball club bring live professional boxing back to historic Phil Welch Stadium as “Battle at the Ballpark 2” will take place Friday, June 13.

This year’s event will be the biggest pro boxing show ever in the state of Missouri as 18 bouts are scheduled, breaking the old record held by legendary boxing promoter Don King, who had a 15 bout show in St. Louis in 2005.

Battle at the Ballpark 2 will feature two World Class title fights.

Olanrewaju Duradola, a 2008 Nigerian Olympian, is currently ranked sixth in the world by the WBC and he will battle Max Hayman of Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the WBC Continental America’s Cruiserweight belt.

The other title fight will be for the Mid-American Women’s lightweight championship.  Former Missouri Western basketball player Ashleigh Curry will take on the 20th ranked boxing in the world, Melisenda Perez of Kansas City.

The ballpark gates will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first bout will begin at 6:30 p.m.

The undercard will feature Jason Redmond, Marcus Garza and other local boxers that include Bryan Timmons, Anthony Ferry, Tyler Seever, Colby Courter, Bryan Dailey, Emmit Wood and Galen Brown.
