Cruiserweight contender Nick Kisner ready for Boardwalk debut this Friday night at the Claridge in Atlantic City


ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (May 26, 2016)--THIS Friday night, May 27th, a big night of boxing will kick off a holiday weekend at The Claridge in Atlantic City as Rising Promotions will present a terrific card of boxing.



In the main event, It will be about New Jersey bragging rights as Isiah Seldon will take on Eddie Edmond in a bout scheduled for six-rounds.


In a one of the undercard bout, Baltimore-based cruiserweight contender, "Slick" Nick Kisner will take on Lamont Capers.


Kisner, who was a prized amateur that saw him become a 3-time National Silver Gloves champion, a 2-time National junior Golden Gloves champion and a Ringside World championship, just to name a few of his big wins in the non-paying ranks.


The 25 year-old has a record of 16-2-1 with six knockouts.


"I have had a very good training camp," said Kisner.  "Capers is a tough and durable opponent.  He has been in with some very good fighters, but I am very confident about getting the win on Friday."


Kisner has won two in a row since his highest profile bout to date when he dropped a ten round unanimous decision to former two-time world title challenger  Lateef Kayode,


In that bout, Kisner fought well and had some moments in the bout, but came up just short in a fight that seemed closer then the official scorecards.


"I learned a lot about in that fight.  I went 10-rounds for the first time.  I did that against one of the best fighters in the divisions.  That was the fight where, also learned the best way to get down to 200 pounds.  Before that fight, I would kill myself to make the weight."


That training regimen has worked so well, that Kisner is now contemplating a move to light heavyweight.


"That is the plan.  In fact, if everything goes well on Friday, that I am looking at a big name at light heavyweight in August."


But first, he has to deal with Capers, not far from Kisner's hometown of Baltimore.


"I am excited to be fighting in Atlantic City.  It is one of the big stages in boxing.  Come Friday, I am going to put on a great show, and I am going to show the world that I am great fighter.  I have learned from my previous fights.  I have matured and on Friday, people will see that I am on the best fighters in the world." 


In a six-round co-feature, one of the most popular fighter's from the shore area, Light Heavyweight Chuck Mussachio will be back in the ring after a 39-month lay off when he takes on Willis Lockett in a rematch of a bout that that ended in a draw on September 19, 2008.


In four round bouts:


In a four round Welterweight bout, Adrian Wilson (0-2) of Atlantic City will take on pro debuting Da'Quan Johnson of Pennsauken, New Jersey


Quian Davis (2-0-1, 1KO) of Mays Landing, NJ will fight Soloman Maye (1-6-1, 1 KO) of New Haven, CT in a Heavyweight out.  


Also on the card will be  the pro debut of Bantamweight Leroy Davila of New Brunswick, New Jersey battling fellow pro debuter Dominic Whitehurst of Chillicothe, OH.


Davila, who had over 60 amateur fights was ranked second in the United States in his weight class.
