In a consequential development for the New England combat sports scene, CES Boxing will officially unveil the details of its blockbuster "Championship Jackpot 2026" card during a public press conference on Wednesday, July 15, 2026. Hosted inside The Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, the event promises to bring together some of the region's most distinguished pugilists ahead of their highly anticipated bouts.

A prodigious Main Event Return

Headlining the upcoming July 24 fight card is former two-division world champion Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (32-1, 19 KOs). The Providence, Rhode Island native returns to the ring for the first time in over two years, facing Brazil’s Douglas Ataide (20-5-1, 11 KOs). This bout marks Andrade’s first fight under his new partnership with CES Boxing, reuniting one of the state's greatest champions with its most accomplished boxing promoter in a calculated move to revitalize the local fight scene.

Undefeated Champions and promising Prospects

Also featured at the press conference will be undefeated WBC International Featherweight Champion Kevin “King” Walsh (20-0, 10 KOs) of Brockton, Massachusetts. Fresh off a stunning upset victory over former world title challenger Michael Conlan in Belfast, Walsh prepares to face dangerous Dominican puncher Dannis Arias (20-5, 17 KOs). The event will also showcase a kaleidoscopic array of regional prospects, including Stamford’s Douglas “El Uno” Marroquin (10-0, 8 KOs) and Stratford’s Joseph “J-Elite” Chisholm (7-1, 6 KOs), who are eager to demonstrate their skills on a major regional stage.

Strategic orchestration

CES Boxing Founder and President Jimmy Burchfield Sr. enunciated that the press conference is designed to generate ubiquitous excitement and allow fans to interact directly with the athletes. "The fans are going to hear directly from Demetrius and the outstanding fighters on this special card," Burchfield noted, emphasizing the promoter's commitment to delivering an unparalleled live combat sports experience at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
