Star Boxing’s just-signed Australian sensation Zac Dunn will defend his IBO Super Middleweight championship and put his unbeaten record on the line against Denis “The Momma’s Boy” Douglin, on Saturday night, October 24th, at The Paramount in Huntington, New York, it was announced today by Star Boxing president Joe DeGuardia.

Douglin (19-4, 12 KO’s) is a southpaw fighting out of Marlboro, NJ, and comes off two straight knockout victories, his most recent a sixth round KO of Marcos Primera on July 11. The Momma’s Boy has won five of his last six bouts. Douglin captured the first 12 fights of his pro career, mostly in the New York-New Jersey area as a product of Rivera Boxing Gym and Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn.

The title tilt is the main event in the next installment of Star Boxing’s Rockin’ Fights series.

Dunn, ranked #10 by the WBC, is the “Wonder from Down Under” who has reeled off 18 straight professional victories without defeat, including 15 by way of knockout. Fighting exclusively in Australia as a professional, Dunn will be making his American debut at The Paramount.

“This will be an action fight from the opening bell,” said DeGuardia. “Both fighters are crowd-pleasers with their propensity for the knockout. All but three of Zac’s wins have been by KO, and Douglin has won almost 60 percent of his fights via knockout. It’s a great fight for boxing enthusiasts.”
