With a newfound approach, “Hurricane” Clampitt confident as ever entering Saturday’s main event at Rhode Wars 3 at historic Park Theatre

Cranston, RI – The day after her loss to Miranda Reyes in June, Jaime “Hurricane” Clampitt was back in the gym already thinking about the next opportunity.And yet there was still some hesitation. Was she still good enough to compete at a high level? Had age finally caught up to her?Clampitt, 46, knew if she was going to continue her comeback and earn a shot at notoriety among the sport’s elite fighters, she’d have to make a few adjustments. And with Saturday’s showdown against Taynna Cardoso (5-2) a little more than 48 hours away, Clampitt (23-6-2, 7 KOs) is excited to apply what she learned during training camp in the main event of Rhode Wars 3, CES Boxing’s first event at the newly-renovated Historic Park Theatre & Event Center.Rhode Wars 3 also features unbeaten super featherweight prospect Alejandro Paulino in the six-round co-main event against dangerous veteran Derrick Murray, highlighting a full day of boxing that also features the Jimmy Burchfield Classic Invitational VII matinee amateur boxing showcase.

Rhode Wars 3 and the Jimmy Burchfield Classic Invitational VII are separate admission events with tickets for available online at CESFights.com or TheParkRI.com.”I was clearly not happy with my last performance,” said Clampitt, who dropped a unanimous decision to the 21-year-old Reyes in what was only her sixth loss as a pro. “I could have ended [my career] there and it would have been fine, but I would’ve regretted it later.”I needed to step back and look at things.”With a husband, a 14-year-old daughter, and a 10-year-old son at home, Clampitt acknowledged it’s harder than ever to dedicate as much time – if not more – to boxing as she could earlier in her career. She also acknowledged that her last camp wasn’t her best. Sparring was minimal and she continued to deal with nagging injuries that first began to pop up when she initially launched her comeback in June of 2021.This camp was much different, highlighted by two key additions to her team – a physical therapist and a sports psychologist. The former helped Clampitt deal with the rigors of camp and the physical toll training for a fight takes on her body. The latter helped her process her emotions and deal with the mental aspect of the sport, something she admits she never really paid attention to during the early stages of her career.”I just wrapped up my last pad work session of camp and I feel amazing. Nothing hurts,” Clampitt said. “Now it’s up to me on Saturday.”We did things differently this time. I needed to look outside the box a little bit. The physical therapist and sports psychologist have been a huge game-changer, not only in the gym but outside the gym. I’m looking at things differently. I used to be so hung up on my age, now I realize it doesn’t matter.”While physical therapy helped heal wounds absorbed from rigorous training and years of pushing her body to the limit, the psychological element brought Clampitt some much-needed piece of mind.”The first question my sports psychologist asked me was, ‘How often do you work on your mental game?’” Clampitt said. “I had never really thought much about it before, but the sport is 100 percent mental and 100 percent physical.”It’s been so different for me going into this because I worked on that equally as much during this camp as I worked on my physical game. I’m excited to put it to work.”Clampitt also got much better sparring this time around after admitting “it was like pulling teeth” to get quality work for her last camp. To prepare for Cardoso, she worked alongside CES stablemate Stevie Jane Coleman and even squeezed in a few rounds with current undisputed lightweight world champion Katie Taylor.The motivation to continue hasn’t waned, even though Clampitt admits there was some doubt after the loss to Miranda. The ever-changing landscape in female boxing – from the life-changing paydays to the exposure on major networks – brought her out of retirement two years ago and it’s what keeps her active as ever at 46 years old.”I really didn’t think I was ever going to fight again, but to see how the sport has evolved is excited,” Clampitt said. “My era took it a certain level, but this new class has taken it to a whole other level and our generation never had the chance to experience that.[CES Boxing president] Jimmy [Burchfield] was one of the first promoters to put women on major fight cards. If it weren’t for people like him, I don’t know how far this sport would’ve gone.”I want to see where I fit in with these women.”Fighting for the first time under the CES banner, newly-signed, undefeated junior middleweight prospect Anthony Velazquez (11-0, 10 KOs) of Springfield, MA, faces hard-charging Brazilian Rodrigo Lopes Rodrigues (8-4, 7 KOs) in a six-round bout. Also at Rhode Wars 3, Cranston’s own Gary Balletto III (3-0, 2 KOs) steps back into the ring against 23-year-old Marlborough, MA, native Raphael Torres (2-0, 2 KOs) with both fighters putting their unbeaten records on the line in an intriguing six-round cruiserweight bout.

Johnston, RI, super middleweight James Maner (2-0, 2 KOs) aims for his third career win in a four-round bout against debut Garrett Desilets of Fall River, MA, and welterweight Jesus Salas (1-1, 1 KO) of New Bedford, MA, makes his CES debut in a four-round bout against Bronx native Jeff Gonzalez (1-0).

Legendary Hall of Famer Clampitt christens new-look Park Theatre on March 25 in main-event showdown against Brazilian challenger Cardoso at Rhode Wars 3

Cranston, RI – The stars come out March 25 as Rhode Wars 3 invades the Historic Park Theatre & Event Center.

Four-time world champion and International Women’s Boxing Hall of Famer Jaime “Hurricane” Clampitt headlines CES Boxing’s Park Theatre debut in an eight-round lightweight showdown against Brazilian Taynna Cardoso and unbeaten super featherweight prospect Alejandro Paulino returns in the six-round co-main event against dangerous veteran Derrick Murray, highlighting a full day of boxing that also features the Jimmy Burchfield Classic Invitational VII matinee amateur boxing showcase.

Rhode Wars 3 and the Jimmy Burchfield Classic Invitational VII are separate admission events with tickets for available online at CESFights.com or TheParkRI.com.

Full fight card details for Rhode Wars 3 were announced yesterday at the Park Theatre’s newly-launched Comedy Park, part of a highly-publicized series of renovations under the Theatre’s new ownership. The venue’s first combat sports event features a handful of household names, highlighted by the iconic Clampitt (23-6-2, 7 KOs), who aims for her first victory in 13 months amidst her second comeback following an eight-year layoff between 2013 and 2021. The 34-year-old Cardoso boasts a lengthy amateur career before making her professional debut in 2017 and is just three weeks removed from a back-and-forth showdown with 31-fight legend Heather Hardy.

The 24-year-old prodigy Paulino (11-0, 10 KOs) last fought in January against Ryizeemmion Ford in a bout originally scored a fifth-round knockout win for Paulino and later ruled a no contest. The New London, CT, native tries again for win No. 12 against the durable Murray (17-7-1, 6 KOs), whose gone the distance in 17 of his 25 pro bouts. Murray has fought everywhere from 126 to 140 pounds, but has historically been at his best between super featherweight and lightweight, most recently scoring key victories over previously-unbeaten prospect Angel Flores and 87-fight vet DeMarcus Corley.

Fighting for the first time under the CES banner, newly-signed, undefeated junior middleweight prospect Anthony Velazquez (11-0, 10 KOs) of Springfield, MA, faces hard-charging Brazilian Rodrigo Lopes Rodrigues (8-4, 7 KOs) in a six-round bout. Velazquez competed in the Junior Olympics as a 16-year-old amateur before embarking on his pro career with four fights in 2018. The 26-year-old rising star won his first nine fights by knockout and figures to face his toughest test March 25 against the pesky Rodrigues, who went six hard rounds with Francis Hogan with CES in June and remains the only fighter to go the distance with the lanky left-hander.

Also at Rhode Wars 3, Cranston’s own Gary Balletto III (3-0, 2 KOs) steps back into the ring against 23-year-old Marlborough, MA, native Raphael Torres (2-0, 2 KOs) with both fighters putting their unbeaten records on the line in an intriguing six-round cruiserweight bout. A two-sport star who also excels in mixed martial arts, Balletto fights for the second time in his hometown, following in the footsteps of his father, Gary “Tiger” Balletto, who fought seven times in Cranston during his decade-long career.

Johnston, RI, super middleweight James Maner (2-0, 2 KOs) aims for his third career win in a four-round bout against debut Garrett Desilets of Fall River, MA, and welterweight Jesus Salas (1-1, 1 KO) of New Bedford, MA, makes his CES debut in a four-round bout against Bronx native Jeff Gonzalez (1-0).

Fifteen years since groundbreaking win over St. John, Clampitt continues career resurgence June 24 at Ballys Twin River

Lincoln, RI – When she made her boxing debut 22 years ago at the age of 23, Jaime Clampitt never envisioned she’d still be fighting in her mid 40s, yet here we are, just weeks shy of her 46th birthday preparing for her 32nd pro bout.

And there’s still no end in sight.

Clampitt, the highly-decorated Saskatchewan native, four-time world champion, and International Women’s Boxing Hall of Famer returns Friday, June 24 at Ballys Twin River Lincoln Casino Resort in the main event of Summer Splash, promoted by CES Boxing.

“The Hurricane” faces Texan Miranda “El Alacrana” Reyes in an eight-round lightweight bout, which, Clampitt says, is just another step in the right direction as she continues her comeback following an eight-year absence between 2013 and 2021.

Having watched the recent surge in exposure for women’s boxing – punctuated by the Amanda Serrano-Katie Taylor lightweight world championship bout in May that not only sold out Madison Square Garden, but also drew an unprecedented audience of 1.5 million watching globally on DAZN, setting a new women’s boxing viewership record – Clampitt is looking to cash on her two decades of experience in the game.

The timing couldn’t be better. As Clampitt reflects on the 15-year anniversary of her groundbreaking win over female boxing icon Mia St. John in 2007, she’s cognizant of the six- and seven-figure purses promoters are now dishing out for female fighters, which hasn’t always been the case in the battle for equal pay in professional boxing.

“Even when I was at the top of my game, females weren’t getting paid close to what they deserve,” said Clampitt, who now lives in Warwick, RI, where she co-owns co-owner of On the Ropes Boxing and Fitness.

“That is one of the reasons I’m coming back. The Serrano-Taylor fight was incredible, and I think I deserve that. I’ve been around the sport a while. I’m a pioneer in boxing. The pay for females is a lot better now, and I think you will see more females coming out of retirement for that reason.”

Tickets for Summer Splash are available at CESFights.com. In addition to the Clampitt-Reyes bout, the card features the Ballys debut of unbeaten super middleweight and 6-foot-2 southpaw Francis Hogan of Weymouth, MA; and the long-awaited return of hard-hitting Sicilian heavyweight Juiseppe Cusumano.

Clampitt, per usual, continues to generate industry buzz following her February victory over Kim Wabik, her first win since 2013. While athletes competing into their mid-40s isn’t as earth-shattering as it might’ve been 20 years ago (see Tom Brady, for example), Clampitt’s comeback seemingly came out of nowhere. She had been retired for nearly a decade, launched her own business, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020 before the desire to compete lured her back into the ring.

Conditioning was never an issue. As the owner of a boxing gym who teaches classes on a regular basis, Clampitt is always in shape, plus she switched to a vegan diet 10 years ago, which helped her deal with muscle inflammation and recovery. The only question was whether she could still compete at the level she had grown accustomed to during her Hall of Fame career. In her first fight in nearly a decade, she faced a tall order against fellow Canadien and 39-fight vet Olivia Gerula on June 19 in Rhode Island, fighting to a six-round draw.

When asked if there’s a way to tell midway through a fight that it’s perhaps time to hang up the gloves for good, Clampitt said, “Honestly, I don’t know – it hasn’t happened yet.”

“The first time I went back out there last summer, I was like, ‘Can I still do this?’ Having that kind of layoff, I didn’t know what to expect,” she continued. “A fighter can get old at any time. And I was fighting someone pretty tough for my first fight back. All things considered, I was pretty happy with it.

“As long as I wake up each day feeling the way I do, I’ll keep going.”

Clampitt is living proof dreams can come true at any age. She recalls turning pro in 2000 and telling her coach she one day wanted to box St. John, who at the time was climbing the ranks under the guidance of Top Rank Boxing (she was 14-0 when Clampitt made her debut) and receiving additional press outside the ring from her pictorial in Playboy magazine.

“He said to me, ‘That will likely never happen,’” Clampitt recalled.

Analysts were critical of St. John’s résumé and often balked at the idea she could compete with top-level talent. In 2002, St. John fought Christy Martin, one of the sport’s most accomplished champions, and went toe-to-toe with the “Coalminer’s Daughter” despite many predicting she wouldn’t make it past the first few rounds. Five years later, Clampitt earned her dream match with St. John at the Convention Center in Providence and won convincingly by unanimous decision to capture the IWBF world lightweight title. In 2012, St. John beat Martin in a rematch at 154 pounds to capture the WBC world super welterweight title, ending Martin’s career after 59 bouts. St. John eventually retired in 2016, winning 49 of her 64 bouts over the span of 19 years.

“When I finally got the opportunity to fight her thanks to [promoter] Jimmy Burchfield and CES, it was such a huge moment for me,” Clampitt said. “I really wanted to fight someone with a big name in the sport.

“A lot of people in the beginning had a lot of negative things to say about Mia, but she fought all the best fighters and deserves a lot of credit. People eventually started to see that. By the time I fought her, she had [52] fights under her belt.

“Jimmy has always supported female boxing,” Clampitt continued. “He had no problem booking me as the main event multiple times, and I was always grateful for that.”

Years later, nothing’s changed. Clampitt is once again headlining a CES event under Burchfield’s guidance. The only difference is now she’s a bit older and a lot wiser, living out a dream even she didn’t think would be possible at this stage in her career.

“Athletes in general are just in a different place now,” she said. “We’re learning more, we’re more educated, and we train differently. For me, to prove I can do this and, hopefully, inspire others to continue with their goals, is enough to keep me going.”

‘Hurricane’ Clampitt hits Ballys Twin River Casino to headline June 24 CES Boxing extravaganza

Lincoln, RI – For the first time in nearly three years, CES Boxing returns to Ballys Twin River Lincoln Casino Resort on Friday, June 24 with an all-star lineup featuring International Women’s Boxing Hall of Famer Jaime “Hurricane” Clampitt continuing her comeback.

Fresh off her first win since 2013, Clampitt (24-5-2), a Warwick, RI, resident, faces 20-Web versionyear-old Texas lightweight Miranda “El Alacrana” Reyes in the eight-round main event, one of seven bouts scheduled for June 24. Tickets are available at CESFights.com.

“There are few fighters in the history of this sport who work as hard and are as dedicated to their craft than Jaime Clampitt,” said CES president and Clampitt’s lifetime promoter, Jimmy Burchfield Sr.

“Since she returned to the ring, she’s been on a mission to prove that despite already having a Hall of Fame resume and an outstanding career, she’s still the present and future of women’s boxing. Jaime’s in another tough fight June 24 and her long-awaited return to Ballys is the perfect exclamation point on what will be another exciting night of professional boxing.”

A four-time world champion and women’s boxing pioneer, Clampitt beat Kim Wabik at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in February, her first victory since she defeated Dominga Oliva at Ballys in 2013. CES last promoted an event at the venue in November of 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the promotion to shift gears.

The Saskatchewan-born Clampitt is again back on the comeback trial after coming out of retirement in June of 2021. The aforementioned win over Oliva was her last bout prior to headlining CES’ outdoor showcase last summer at Cranston Stadium in Rhode Island.

The 45-year-old mother, wife, and business owner faces her latest challenge June 24 against a young up-and-comer who wasn’t even born when Clampitt made her pro debut in January of 2000. Miranda (5-1-1), a native of Houston, was formerly trained by ex-U.S. Olympic coach Kay Koroma, who coached the 2016 medal-winning team that featured future stars Claressa Shields, Mikaela Mayer, Charles Conwell, and Shakur Stevenson.

Clampitt’s star power can only be matched by that of CES’ newest addition, unbeaten super middleweight and 6-foot-2 southpaw Francis Hogan of Weymouth, MA, who inked a multi-year promotional deal with CES and will make his Ballys debut in a six-round bout.

A highly-decorated amateur who competed in the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2019 before turning pro, Hogan (10-0, 10 KOs) is a six-time national champion, a former gold medalist at the New England Golden Gloves, and a member of the Iron Workers Local 7 union. In his lone appearance with CES in 2020, the then 2-0 Hogan stopped veteran Charon Spain in the fourth round of their scheduled six-round bout.

June 24 also features the long-awaited return of hard-hitting Sicilian heavyweight Juiseppe Cusumano, who last fought in Rhode Island in August of 2019 and recently challenged WBA Interim World Heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois. Cusumano (19-4, 17 KOs) is 6-1 lifetime at Ballys and will star in the eight-round co-main event.

Fresh off a win in his CES debut in March, rising lightweight prospect Alejandro Paulino of New London, CT, returns to the promotion to make his Ballys debut in a six-round bout. Paulino (9-0, 8 KOs) faced a major step up in competition at the Crowne Plaza in March against durable veteran Andrew Rodgers and survived an early knockdown to win unanimously on the scorecards.

Paulino, who trains under the guidance of Roland Estrada at the Big Six Boxing Academy in Providence, will be joined June 24 by stablemates Sean Bey and James Maner, both of whom are making their CES debuts.

Bey (5-0, 5 KOs), a hard-hitting heavyweight from Soughton, MA, who now lives and trains in Providence, has won each of his first five fights as a pro by first-round knockout and is scheduled to appear in a four-round bout June 24. Maner (1-0, 1 KO), a 2019 New England Golden Gloves champion from Providence, has one pro fight under his belt, a fourth-round knockout victory over middleweight Anthony Everett in February. He will also appear in a four-round bout June 24.

Brockton, MA, lightweight “King” Kevin Walsh is also set to make his CES debut following a second-round knockout win over Braulio Avila in April, his fourth career knockout. Walsh (6-0, 4 KOs) will appear in a six-rounder for the second time in his career; the first was in January when he out-worked previously-unbeaten New England rival Nathan Balakin to earn a unanimous decision.

Clampitt outworks Wabik in Saturday’s main event for first win since 2013

WARWICK, RI (February 20) – Jaime “Hurricane” Clampitt capped a banner weekend for CES Boxing Saturday night with a unanimous decision win over Kim Wabik at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, her first victory in nearly a decade.

The 45-year-old Clampitt (23-5-2), a Warwick, RI, resident who came out of retirement last summer two years after being inducted into the International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame, headlined CES Boxing’s 2022 debut and its inaugural event at the Crowne Plaza.

Flanked by longtime promoter Jimmy Burchfield Sr., CEO and president of CES Boxing, Clampitt capped the event – appropriately titled “Rhode Wars” – in front of a sold-out crowd with a dominant performance against Wabik (4-2-2), who, despite continuing to come forward the entire fight, could not thwart Clampitt’s experience and ring savvy.

The victory, scored 60-54 on all three scorecards, was Clampitt’s first since 2013 when she defeated Dominga Oliva.

In addition to opening its newly-launched fight series in front of a capacity crowd at the Crowne Plaza, CES Boxing celebrated an even bigger victory Friday when lightweight star Jamaine Ortiz of Worcester, MA, captured the NABF title in Orlando with a unanimous decision win over Nahir Albright in the main of Showtime’s ShoBox: The New Generation telecast. With Clampitt back in the picture among female lightweights and Ortiz putting his entire weight class on notice in Friday’s win, CES Boxing is poised for a groundbreaking year as the sport continues its rise in popularity.

In other action Saturday, super lightweight Wilson Mascarenhas (5-1, 2 KOs) earned his fifth consecutive win and his second consecutive by knockout, stopping Virginia southpaw Akeem Jackson (5-5) in the third round of their scheduled six-round bout.

Since losing his pro debut in 2018, Mascarenhas has been on a roll; he earned his first knockout win last summer at Cranston Stadium against Geoffrey Then and continued his winning streak last night, chopping down the much taller, lankier Jackson with body shots.

Heavyweight Tim Hatfield (3-0, 3 KOs) also kept his win streak alive, stopping veteran Kaleb Slaughter (1-4-1) of Cincinnati in the opening round of their scheduled four-round bout. A former college football at Brown University, Hatfield has now won three times since November, accumulating three first-round knockout wins in just under three months.

Making his United States debut, Italian middleweight Nicola Quarneti (5-2-1) got off to a slow start and lost a technical decision to Yakima, WA, veteran Charon Spain (4-18-2) when the fight was stopped after three rounds due to an accidental headbutt. Spain won the first two rounds before Quarneti found his footing in the third, using his jab to set up a potent left hook.

As Quarneti began applying pressure toward the final bell, the two butted heads, opening a severe cut above Spain’s left eye. The ringside physician stopped the fight and, since the fight had gone past the halfway point, the decision was left in the hands of the judges, who ruled unanimously in favor of Spain.

In the opening bout of the evening, bantamweights Dan Cormier (2-0) of East Providence, RI, and Christian Andrade (1-1) of Fairhaven, MA, put on a show for four rounds with Cormier winning by majority decision, 40-36, 40-36, 38-38. A former mixed martial arts fighter, Cormier has now won twice as a pro in boxing since debuting in August.

Clampitt continues her journey to the top as women’s boxing reaches historic new heights

WARWICK, RI (February 14) – There’s “life-changing” money on the table in women’s boxing these days, something that seemed farfetched not too long ago, and it’s a small part of the reason why 45-year-old Jaime “Hurricane” Clampitt continues to chase championship glory despite genuinely having nothing left to prove.

The Canadian-born Clampitt (22-5-2), who has made Rhode Island her home for more than two decades, was inducted in the International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame in 2020, seven years after her first comeback and subsequent second retirement.

That kind of notoriety alone is usually what signals a fighter’s triumphant ride into the sunset, yet at 44 years old, Clampitt returned last summer for a second time, headlining CES Boxing’s historic outdoor event at Cranston Stadium.

Sounds crazy, right? Not in this era. We’re just a year removed from NFL great Tom Brady winning his record-setting seventh Super Bowl at the age of 43, so the idea of Clampitt, who co-owns On The Ropes Boxing and Fitness in Warwick and is arguably in the best shape of her life, winning her fifth world title in her mid-40s is not out of the real of possibility.

The “Hurricane” hopes to move one step closer this Saturday at the Crowne Plaza Hotel – just a stone’s throw from her home in Warwick – when she faces Concord, NH, veteran Kim Wabik (4-1-1) in the six-round main event of “Rhode Wars,” a new fight series for 2022 launched by Clampitt’s long-time promoter, CES Boxing president and CEO Jimmy Burchfield Sr.

There’s never been a better time for women to lace up the gloves in professional boxing, especially in Clampitt’s division. Amanda Serrano, the reigning WBC, WBO, and IBO world featherweight champion, earned $75,000 in her August 29 win over Yamileth Mercado on the undercard of the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley pay-per-view showcase. On April 20, she moves up to 135 pounds to face undefeated WBA, WBC, IBF, and IBO lightweight world champion Katie Taylor at Madison Square Garden, and while no purse amounts have been verified, Paul, who is co-promoting the bout with Eddie Hearn, has stated both fighters will earn seven-figure paydays – a watershed moment for women’s boxing.

What started as a tweet from Serrano in April of 2021 clamoring to fight on one of Paul’s undercards has turned into a new era of promotion for women’s boxing, whose athletes have struggled for decades to earn the same respect – and compensation – as their male counterparts. With Paul, a YouTube star turned pro fighter and manager, promoting Serrano on multiple social media platforms, where he has more than 18 million followers on Instagram and more than 20 million on YouTube, Serrano has reached new levels of stardom. Anyone could be next.

The possibility of what Paul has described as “life-changing” money and the lure of fighting in her own backyard has been enough to draw Clampitt back into the ring at 45 as CES Boxing promotes Rhode Island’s first indoor boxing since November of 2019. Clampitt admits fighting so close to home has built a great sense of community in her neck of the woods and expects a strong showing from her loyal fans and supporters on Saturday.

In Wabik, Clampitt is facing a late bloomer who began her pro career at 32 and hasn’t stepped foot inside the ring since August of 2020. A licensed social worker for FamilyAid Boston, Wabik inherits the same opportunity as Clampitt knowing the market is yearning for the next big star in women’s boxing.

While it often seems like there’s a longer road between fighting on regional shows and competing for a world title in men’s boxing, the journey is much shorter for the women, where the supply is limited despite a number of championships to compete for. Now, finally, the playing field has leveled, and it’s led to a much-needed boom in women’s boxing, making anyone who steps inside the ring on any given day a potential star in the making.

Tickets for Saturday’s event are available online at CESFights.com. In addition to the Clampitt-Wabik main event, “Rhode Wars” features several other intriguing all-New England matchups, including a six-round co-main event showdown between undefeated Providence, RI, super welterweight Lamont Powell (5-0, 1 KO) and Mitch Louis-Charles (6-2-2, 3 KOs) of Quebec who now lives and trains in Boston. In the bantamweight division, MMA-fighter-turned-boxer Daniel Cormier (1-0) of East Providence, RI, faces Christian Andrade (1-0, 1 KO) of Fairhaven, MA, in a four-round bout.

Super lightweight Wilson Mascarenhas (4-1, 1 KO) of New Bedford, MA, battles hard-hitting Akeem Jackson (5-4, 5 KOs) of Oxon Hill, MD, in a six-round bout and heavyweight Tim Hatfield (2-0, 2 KOs) of Providence, a former college football player for Brown University, battles Kaleb Slaughter (1-3-1) of Cincinnati, OH, in a four-round bout. In a special middleweight showcase, Italian-born Nicola Quarneti (5-1-1) makes his United States debut in a four-round bout against Yakima, WA, veteran Charon Spain (3-18-2, 1 KO) in a four-round bout.

Female boxing icon Clampitt returns home to face upset-minded Wabik February 19 at Crowne Plaza Hotel

PROVIDENCE, RI (February 4, 2022) – Hurricane season is arriving early in New England this year as four-time world champion and living legend Jaime “Hurricane” Clampitt continues her comeback Saturday, February 19 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Warwick, RI, in the main event of CES Boxing’s 2022 season opener.

The 45-year-old Clampitt (22-5-2, 7 KOs), a Warwick resident, faces Kim Wabik (4-1-2) of Revere, MA, in the six-round main event of “Rhode Wars,” a new fight series launched by CES in 2022 and hosted exclusively at the Crowne Plaza.

“We’re excited to bring our loyal fans a new perspective on boxing in New England with our ‘Rhode Wars’ series,” said CES president and CEO Jimmy Burchfield Sr. “Our goal is to continue furthering the careers of the region’s best young, up-and-coming talent by showcasing their ability on this new platform while also continuing to do what we do best – match New England’s top fighters against one another in the fights that matter most.”

To officially announce the event, CES is hosting a press conference open to the public and media Wednesday, February 9 at 3:30 pm at Arooga’s, located directly across from the Crowne Plaza at 615 Greenwich Ave., in Warwick.

Included in the day’s festivities on February 19 is the “Jimmy Burchfield Classic Invitational V,” an all ages, separate admission amateur boxing event beginning at 2 pm. “Rhode Wars” follows immediately at 7 pm. Tickets for both events are available online at CESFights.com.

In addition to the Clampitt-Wabik main event, “Rhode Wars” features several other intriguing all-New England matchups, including a six-round co-main event showdown between undefeated Providence, RI, super welterweight Lamont Powell (5-0, 1 KO) and Mitch Louis-Charles (6-2-2, 3 KOs) of Quebec who now lives and trains in Boston. In the bantamweight division, MMA-fighter-turned-boxer Daniel Cormier (1-0) of East Providence, RI, faces Christian Andrade (1-0, 1 KO) of Fairhaven, MA, in a four-round bout.

Super lightweight Wilson Mascarenhas (4-1, 1 KO) of New Bedford, MA, battles hard-hitting Akeem Jackson (5-4, 5 KOs) of Oxon Hill, MD, in a six-round bout and heavyweight Tim Hatfield (2-0, 2 KOs) of Providence, a former college football player for Brown University, battles Kaleb Slaughter (1-3-1) of Cincinnati, OH, in a four-round bout.

Clampitt returns to the ring later this month less than a year after ending her retirement at Cranston Stadium in June of 2021, where she fought Canada’s Olivia Gerula to a draw in her first fight since 2013.

Having won world titles in the lightweight and super lightweight divisions, Clampitt is now campaigning exclusively at 135 pounds. She is one of several female fighters whose careers were launched by Burchfield during a time in which women’s boxing did not have the mainstream appeal it does today.

A pioneer in her field, Clampitt captured the first of her four world titles in 2003 with a unanimous decision win over Eliza Olson for the IWBF super lightweight crown and four years later dropped down to 135 pounds to defeat fellow icon Mia St. John for the IWBF lightweight title in 2007.

After retiring in 2010, Clampitt returned to the ring three years later at Twin River Casino Hotel and beat Dominga Oliva by unanimous decision. In 2019, she was among seven fighters inducted into the International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame in Nevada.

The return of Powell, the 28-year-old prospect who in 2018 survived a point-blank shooting outside of his home in Providence, will draw considerable buzz on February 19. This will be his first fight in almost three years, dating back to August of 2019 when he defeated veteran Ricardo Garcia by unanimous decision.

Mascarenhas and Hatfield step back into the ring following a busy, but successful, 2021. Mascarenas earned his first career knockout win in the aforementioned event at Cranston Stadium last June, pulverizing Connecticut’s Geoffrey Then. Hatfield launched his long-awaited pro career with two fights in span of 15 days, debuting in Springfield, MA, on November 27 with a first-round knockout win over Rodrigo Darocha and improving to 2-0 on December 11 in Orlando with a first-round knockout win over Jimmie Levine.

Cormier makes his first appearance with CES Boxing and his fourth overall with the promotion after stepping inside the CES MMA cage three times during his pro mixed martial arts career. He last fought for the promotion at CES 41 in 2017. He transitioned to boxing, training under the guidance of Jose Santos of 401 Boxing, and successfully debuted in August with a win over Josh Alvarado in New Hampshire.

Clampitt, Gonzalez headline CES’ star-studded return to live action

Providence, RI (May 28, 2021) – Fans will be in attendance for the time in more than a year as CES Boxing returns with a huge outdoor spectacular to kick off the summer season live on UFC FIGHT PASS®.

On Saturday, June 19, CES brings live professional boxing to Rhode Island’s historic Cranston Stadium, the state’s most revered outdoor multi-sport complex, for a special matinee show beginning with preliminary bouts at noon followed by the live stream of the main card at 1 on FIGHT PASS.

While the COVID-19 pandemic prevented fans from attending live combat sports events worldwide, CES is excited to welcome fans to Cranston Stadium on June 19. Sources report that this will be Rhode Island’s first outdoor boxing event since August 25, 1959 at Pierce Memorial Stadium in East Providence when former world light heavyweight title challenger Tony Anthony – who battled pound-for-pound great and Hall of Famer Archie Moore two years prior – knocked out Providence’s Bob Young in the eighth round of their scheduled 10-round bout.

This is CES’ first event since a closed-door FIGHT PASS show in October and its first in front of a live audience since February of 2020 in Worcester, MA.

“No sport is more exciting than live, professional boxing, and absolutely nothing can replace the thrill and energy of fans in attendance creating the fight-night atmosphere our fighters deserve,” said CES Boxing president and CEO Jimmy Burchfield Sr. “This has been a long road for everyone in the sport, promoters and fighters included, but we’re confident the best is yet to come as we all finally return to doing what we do best.”

“We are grateful for the conscientious efforts of [Rhode Island] Governor Dan McKee, Cranston Mayor Ken Hopkins and other state and local officials in re-opening business in Rhode Island. Most importantly, we are extremely thankful for our loyal fans who’ve stuck with us over the past year and a half. We promised we’d be back better than before and we guarantee 4th of July fireworks on June 19!”

With the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the state of Rhode Island revising their COVID-19 guidelines in recent weeks, tickets will be available starting at $50 online at CESFights.com. The event will also include a moment of silence to honor those who have lost their lives to COVID-19.

The June 19 matinee will feature a mix of CES’ top fan favorites and rising stars, including the highly-anticipated return of four-time world champion; Saskatchewan native; and Warwick, RI, resident Jamie “Hurricane” Clampitt (22-5-1, 7 KOs), who fights for the first time since 2013 in a six-round showcase against former WBC super featherweight champion Olivia Gerula (18-19-2, 3 KOs) of Ontario.

Also fighting June 19 is Worcester, MA, featherweight and reigning WBC World Youth champion Irvin Gonzalez Jr. (14-3, 11 KOs), who recently faced Edward Vazquez in a show-stopping preliminary bout on the undercard of the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. event in November.

Lynn, MA, welterweight Khiry Todd (10-1, 8 KOs) makes his long-awaited return, ending a 20-month layoff, and fellow welterweight Victor Reynoso (6-0, 5 KOs) of Providence puts his unbeaten record on the line in his first fight since November of 2019, both in separate six-round bouts. The undercard also features Mansfield, MA, welterweight James Perella (6-0, 4 KOs), who made his CES debut in October with a hard-fought unanimous decision win over Antonio Castillo, and the long-awaited return of Cranston light heavyweight Gary Balletto III (1-0, 1 KO), the son of New England boxing icon Gary “Tiger” Balletto.

Charismatic fan favorite Mike “Bling Bling” Valentin (6-1-1) of Providence is also back in action, returning to the ring for the first time since battling regional rival Josh Orta in 2019. He joins undefeated Pawtucket, RI, featherweight Ricky Delossantos (9-0, 1 KO), who ends a 22-month layoff, and New Bedford, MA, super lightweight Wilson Mascarenhas (3-1), who aims for his fourth consecutive win.

Clampitt’s comeback figures to draw considerable buzz in boxing circles. The 44-year-old female boxing icon perfected her craft under the guidance of Burchfield. A pioneer in women’s boxing, Clampitt captured the first of her four world titles in 2003 with a unanimous decision win over Eliza Olson for the IWBF super lightweight crown and four years later dropped down to 135 pounds to defeat fellow icon Mia St. John for the IWBF lightweight title in 2007.

After retiring in 2010, Clampitt returned to the ring three years later at Twin River Casino Hotel and beat Dominga Oliva by unanimous decision. In 2019, she was among seven fighters inducted into the International Women’s Boxing Hall of Fame in Nevada.

Gonzalez will headline the card as he looks to rebound from a narrow loss to Edward Vazquez for the vacant WBC USNBC featherweight title in November. Gonzalez and Vazquez stole the spotlight in the opener of the Tyson-Jones pay-per-view telecast, matching wits – and fists – for eight hard rounds. In 2019 as the co-main event of CES’ last show in front of a live audience, Gonzalez secured the youth title with a thrilling knockout win over the dangerous Yeuri Andujar in front of his hometown fans. A standout amateur, the 25-year-old Gonzalez competed in the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials in Nevada before making his professional debut later that summer.
