Junior welterweight Bryce Mills, riding a 13-fight win streak, returns to the ring Thursday evening, Oct. 30, as he headlines the inaugural boxing card at the beautiful Vine Theater at del Lago Resort & Casino in Waterloo, New York.
The scheduled 10-round bout will top a pro/am event promoted by Rising Star Promotions. First amateur fight at 5.30 pm.
Mills, of nearby Liverpool, New York will have his large loyal fanbase on hand as he puts his record of 19-1, 7 K0s, on the line.
The 24-year-old Mills will be making his maiden headline appearance and his first time scheduled for 10 rounds. He is coming off his best victory, a stunning first-round knockout over former amateur standout Aaron Aponte, of Hialeah, FL, last June 6 in Verona, New York.
Included in the 13-fight win streak are impressive victories over Daiyaan Butt, of Philadelphia; Jonathan de Pina, of Boston; Gerffred Ngayot, of Buffalo; Mike Ohan Jr., of Holbrook, MA, and Alex Martin, of Chicago. Including Aponte, the combined record of those six men was 77-14-1.
Mills has boxed in Rock Hill, SC; Philadelphia, PA; Bensalem, PA; Wroclaw, Poland, and Atlantic City, NJ, but never in the main event.
“I’m very excited to headline my first card so close to home,” Mills said. “This is something I used to dream about as a kid and now it’s a reality. With the Vine Theater only seating 1,500 people, you better not wait as this surely will sell out.”
The card will feature five professional and six amateur fights. The show will take place in the state-of-the-art Vine Theater at the del Lago Casino & Resort. Tickets range from $60 to $150 and they go on sale at 10 am, Friday, Sept. 12, at Ticketmaster.com.
