On Saturday, November 23, Falls Boys Promotions (FBP) and Three Lions Promotions (TLP) present \u201cHigh Stakes\u201d featuring hometown hero Lucas \u201cPrince\u201d Bahdi (5-0-0, 5KOS) in the main event at the Sheraton on the Falls Hotel, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. With three national amateur titles to his credit, Bahdi is Niagara\u2019s most decorated amateur fighter since Billy \u201cThe Kid\u201d Irwin thrilled fans leading up to the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Since turning pro, Bahdi has set a torrid pace, fighting five times in under five months, recording a knockout in each and every appearance.<\/p>\n

The card will also feature Canadian light middleweight champion Kevin Higson (17-2-0, 1KOs); Canadian amateur champion and freshly minted professional Carolyn Redmond (1-0-0, 1KOs); and fast-rising St. Catharines prospect Antonio Napolitano (4-0-0, 2KOs).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will be my first main event as a professional. I want to make a statement here in my hometown,\u201d said Bahdi. \u201cI\u2019m excited for FBP and TLP joint promotion here in Niagara. Having Higson, Napolitano, and Redmond on the card adds even more excitement to the event.\u201d In his last outing, Bahdi scored his fourth sensational knockout, stopping Mexican veteran Laramie Corona (8-8-0, 3KOs) in the opening round at the Hamilton Convention Centre.<\/p>\n

Robert Penev, Promoter of FBP, is keen to collaborate with TLP. \u201cI have worked with Lucas since his first national championship win and we wanted to make sure his return to Niagara was with an industry leader like Three Lions Promotions. Lucas is the fastest rising star in Canada right now and I can guarantee he will be on the global radar in 2020. This will be a show you definitely don\u2019t want to miss! Mark your calendar and save the date!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dan Otter, Managing Director of TLP, was equally enthusiastic about the collaboration. \u201cWe are excited to team up with Rob and Falls Boys Promotions,\u201d said Otter. \u201cThey are young and full of excitement. They fit into our corporate culture very well. It will be their first show and we\u2019re eager to make it memorable for all the right reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The undercard will feature some of Ontario’s top pugilistic talent. Hamilton\u2019s Kevin Higson is coming off a dominant decision victory over Jose Francisco Zuniga last May in Nova Scotia, putting on a thorough boxing clinic in the process. Carolyn Redmond is one of the top-rated female prospects in Canada and showed why in her debut, stopping the more experienced Veronica Marin in under three rounds. Antonio Napolitano, the fighting pride of nearby St. Catharines, has been leaping up the national middleweight rankings of late, defeating savvy Jamaican veteran Ricardo Planter in his latest appearance.<\/p>\n

Full card to be announced in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
