Boston - Saint Patrick’s Clash, a night of fights and music on Saturday, March 19th at the House of Blues in Boston will feature 5 amazing title fights! Murphys Boxings own, undefeated Jr. Lightweight, Logan “Cotton” McGuinness (23-0-1 10KOs) has been added to the card and will fight Ruben Vicente for the vacant NABA Jr. Lightweight Championship. Logan is coming of a successful 2015, that saw him fight 3 times, keeping his undefeated record in tact with 3 wins. With a win on the 19th Logan looks to climb back into the WBA top ten ranking, a spot he’s familiar with, having been ranked #7 by the WBA before a year of inactivity due to injury caused him to be removed. Logan is a former 3 division NABA Champion, and looks to reclaim the title he originally won with a spectacular 11th round KO of Benoit Gaudet. With a solid 2015 and over a year removed from injury, 2016 looks to be the year the undefeated Logan challenges for a major world championship.
Also on the card will be Stephen “The Rock” Ormond (20-2 11KOs) who fights the main event against against Marcos ‘El Tigre” Jimenez (21-6 14KOs) for the Lightweight IBF Intercontinental Championship. With a win, Ormond would not only capture the IBF Intercontinental Championship, but would climb into the top 10 IBF World rankings and take another step closer to fighting for a major world championship. Ormond looks to be on track for a such fight, with the winner of the WBO Lightweight Championship fight between Champion Terry Flanagan and Derry Mathews being the logical choice. Ormond already holds a win against the challenger Mathews and lost by a highly questionable disqualification to the champion Flanagan.
Murphy’s Boxing newest fighter, undefeated TJ “The Power” Doheny (14-0 10KOs) defends his PABA Super Bantamweight title against tough Gerardo Marin Hernandez (13-3-1 8KOs). Doheny looks to this fight as the start of his climb to the Super Bantamweight Championship of the world, in a hopeful all Irish bout against current IBF Champion Carl Frampton, a man Doheny has already beaten in the amateurs. Doheny a slick boxing southpaw from Ireland, with fast hands and knockout power is a perfect 14 wins in 14 fights, with 10 of those coming by way of KO.
Rounding out the amazing night of championship fights will be two New England title fights. A highly contentious New England lightweight championship fight between Carlos “The Dragon” Candelario (6-1 3KOs) and Matt Doherty (4-1-1 2KOs), which looks on paper to be an action packed fight. Both fighters are out to stake claim to being the best Lightweight in New England. Carlos, a fighter known for his large fan base, is a rising prospect with concussive power in both hands. With fight of the night potential, and fans of both fighters packing the House of Blues, this is one fight not to be missed.
Another New England title fight not to be missed, pits Murphys Boxings own Michael McLaughlin (11-1-1 5KOs) against veteran Shakha Moore of nearby Connecticut, in a battle for the New England Welterweight Championship. McLaughlin from Donegal, Ireland now residing in Dorchester Mass., not only looks to win the N.E. Championship in front of a legion of friends celebrating the Saint Patrick’s day weekend but to position himself for bigger fights. A professional since 2010, McLaughlin hopes to fight for an Irish Title by years end, while securing himself a top ten ranking.
“This a tremendous card we have put together for March 19th at the House of Blues in Boston. We have 5 amazing title fights with at least 10 fights total. The place will be absolutely electric, Saint Patrick’s Day weekend, The Dropkick Murphys playing, all this great boxing, you don’t want to miss this.” said Ken Casey frontman of Dropkick Murphys and president of Murphys Boxing. “We only have about 100 tickets left and this will sell out. If you want to be a part of this special night, go online and get them now.” concluded Casey.

LIGHTWEIGHT CONTENDER STEPHEN “THE ROCK” ORMOND (20-2 11KOs) TO FIGHT FEBRUARY 6TH AT NATIONAL STADIUM IN DUBLIN, IRELAND.
STEPHEN ORMOND ADDED TO THE CLASH OF CLAN’S CARD ON FEBRUARY 6TH AT NATIONAL STADIUM IN DUBLIN, IRELAND.
After a hugely successful 2015 campaign, Lightweight contender Stephen Ormond (20-2 11KO) will start what looks to be a promising new year with an 8 round fight on The Clash of Clans fight card, taking place February 6th at National Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. Stephen looks to build on his hugely successful 2015 campaign that saw him 1st make a splash in the boxing world with a highly disputed 10th round disqualification loss in February 2015 against current WBO world lightweight champion Terry Flanagan to running off three consecutive KO victories, with the last two coming in the United States on PBC and Murphy’s Boxing promoted fight cards.
With a win in February, against an opponent to be named, Ormond looks to position himself for a major fight in the Lightweight division. Ormond, the former WBO European lightweight champion seems to be natural fit to fight the winner of the upcoming WBO World Championship fight between champion Terry Flanagan, who Ormond lost a highly questionable disqualification loss and the challenger Derry Mathews, who Ormond owns a unanimous decision win against.
“Murphy’s Boxing sees Stephen Ormond winning a lightweight championship of the world in 2016. If this comes against Flanagan or Mathews, then great. If those guys don’t want to see Stephen in the ring again, then we’ll get it done against someone else”, said Ken Casey of Murphy’s Boxing. “Stephen is willing to fight anyone and has shown he deserves to be in the big fights. February 6th is just the start of the year Stephen becomes world champion.” concluded Casey.

Boston - Murphys Boxing is pleased to announce the signing of Middleweight Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan to a promotional contract. Spike (18-1 11KO’s) who hails from Cork, Ireland is the former #4 ranked WBO middleweight in the world. Coming off a huge 1st round KO win last November over Anthony Fitzgerald at the 3Arena in Dublin, Spike looks to make his mark in the U.S. on the inaugural “The Memorial Series” fight card, taking place on February 26th at The Memorial Hall in Melrose MA. With his lone defeat coming in a 12 round decision loss to the #1 ranked WBO Middleweight in the world Billy Sanders, Spike has proven he deserves to be in the ring with the best of the Middleweight division. Spike is a relentless fighter who is used to being in tough fights. He has an all out exciting style which endears him to fight fans and boxing media alike. Spike comes fully loaded with an arsenal of punches, none more prominently on display then the picture perfect right upper cut that KO’d Fitzgerald, earning him one of the top KO’s of 2014. With a new year on the horizon, Spike looks to continue to cement his place among the top Middleweights in the world.
“Spike is the type of fighter that enjoys going to war, the only guy to beat him did so on points by running all night”, said Ken Casey of Murphys Boxing. “His fighting style will fit perfect with the usual raucous Murphys Boxing crowd. We look forward to securing Spike fights with the biggest names in the Middleweight division” added Casey.
“I’m really excited to be working with Ken and Murphys Boxing as my promoter. This is the first time I have a genuine person who cares about me and my career”, said Spike. “I’ve loved my previous visits to the United States. I fought in Boston 3 times and it’s my favorite place to fight, the support is phenomenal. I intend to entertain the fans and show them what I can do in the ring, sending them home wanting to see me again. I believe I have the ability to become a world champion”
Famed Dublin trainer Packie Collins, who trains Spike and is the brother of former WBO Super Middleweight Champion and Boston fan favorite Stevie Collins, is also excited about the signing of Spike by Murphys Boxing. “It’s great that Spike now has a promoter that is behind him so he can reach the level his talent deserves” concluded Packie Collins.
Spike O’Sullivan has replaced Mark Deluca on the February 26th, The Memorial Series fight card. It has been decided that Deluca who has been rehabbing a minor injury will need a few more weeks of training.

Boston, MA - Murphys Boxing is pleased to announce the inaugural “The Memorial Series” fight card, to take place on Thursday February 26th at The Memorial Hall in Melrose MA. For the inaugural “The Memorial Series” fight card, Murphys Boxing has put together a stacked night of boxing featuring undefeated Ryan Kielczewski in the main event in addition to Mark DeLuca and top ranked super bantamweight Jonathan Guzman fighting separate opponents in the co feature bouts.
Hometown Boston favorite Ryan Kielczewski (21-0 5KO’s) currently ranked #8 in the world in the WBA Junior Lightweight rankings looks to stay undefeated and on track to fight for a major world championship in 2015. Ryan hopes to ignite the hometown crowd, just as he did in July 2013 against undefeated Miguel Soto, when fighting on ESPN Friday Night Fights. He delivered a devastating one punch KO in his signature win to date, earning him a spot on ESPN top 10. A win on February 26th likely will propel Ryan to a major national fight against another top 10 ranked Junior Lightweight.
Another undefeated local sensation, wildly popular Mark DeLuca (12-0 9KO’s) looks to continue his climb to national recognition. DeLuca a USMC Afghanistan Combat Veteran is a devastating two hand puncher, who stalks his opponents with bad intentions. The always exciting DeLuca is coming of his biggest win yet, a 4th round TKO against veteran Ryan Davis on October 30th, fighting on the Murphys Boxing promoted Fox Sports 1 telecast.
Rounding out the headline portion of the night will be undefeated KO artist Jonathan Guzman. Guzman is the WBA 10th and IBF 11th ranked super bantamweight in the world. Guzman (17-0 17KO’s) is a devastating puncher who has won all 17 of his fights by knockout. Guzman is from the Dominican Republic and will be fighting in the United States for just the 2nd time, but it will not take the Boston fans long to see why Guzman has become a must see. With a style that makes fans go crazy and the ability to end any fight with one shot, this is one fighter you don’t want to miss.
With the trifecta of Ryan Kielczewski, Mark DeLuca and Jonathan Guzman all fighting on February 26th, the inaugural “The Memorial Series” fight card looks to be one of the more exciting fight nights in the Boston area. “This will be one great night of fights. We have three highly touted undefeated nationally known fighters on this card, with two that are in the top 10 world ranking. This isn’t your typical local show, but a fight card you would expect to see on national TV.,” said Ken Casey of Murphys Boxing. “We anticipate the usual raucous atmosphere from the Murphys Boxing crowd come February 26th” added Casey.
The February 26th 2015 card at Melrose Memorial Hall in Melrose is on sale now with tickets available at murphysboxing.com. Tickets are priced at $100, $65 for ringside and stage, $40 for GA seating.
