A high stakes welterweight showdown will headline the next installment of Brick City Fight Night on Saturday, October 12 as local favorite Michael “Slick” Anderson faces Daniel “El Gallo” Gonzalez of Queens, N.Y. in a ten round bout.

The Brick City Fight Night Series returns to Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on Saturday, October 12, presenting some of the best boxing talent from New Jersey, New York City and beyond. Brick City Fight Night Series will be presented by Rising Star Promotions and Prudential Center, with twelve bouts scheduled, from the flyweight division up to the heavyweights.

The ten round main event will feature Newark's own Michael Anderson. “Slick” Anderson (24-3-1, 17 KOs) has wins over Dashon Johnson (11-2-3), DeMarcus Rogers (14-3-1) and a fifth round knockout of Eudy Bernardo (25-6) in his last bout. Anderson, a welterweight on a seven fight win streak, is no stranger to the Prudential Center crowd, having fought four of his last five bouts at the venue.

In the co-featured bout, two bantamweights will fight for the opportunity to become a top contender in the 118-pound division. Hometown favorite Emmanuel “Salserito” Rodriguez (15-2, 8 KOs) of Newark, N.J. will face Brooklyn’s Khalid Twaiti (13-0, 5 KOs) in a ten round bout, with the USBA Regional and WBA Fedalatin titles up for grabs.

New Jersey bragging rights will be at stake as unbeaten prospects Gabriel Gerena and “Dangerous” Danny Gonzalez meet in a six round junior welterweight bout. Gerena (6-0, 5 KOs) of Piscataway, N.J. is riding a three fight knockout streak, while Gonzalez (3-0, 3 KOs) of Iselin, N.J. has knocked out all of his opponents to date, including a third round stoppage of Zachary Davis last Saturday in Carteret.

The rest of the card will feature other top talent from the New Jersey and New York areas, including Anthony Johns (8-1, 6 KOs) of Newark in an eight round flyweight bout, Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga (15-1, 15 KOs) of Edgewater, N.J., Terell Bostic (12-2, 2 KOs) of Wyandanch, N.Y. facing Michael Lee (10-3, 7 KOs) of Jersey City in an eight round bout, plus Paul Bamba (16-3, 15 KOs) of New York City, Ghandi Romain (4-1, 4 KOs) of Irvington, N.J., Kahshad Elliot (2-0, 2 KOs) of Plainfield, N.J., Jean Pierre Valencia (1-0, 1 KO) of Irvington, N.J., Keith Colon (1-0, 1 KO) of Newark and Justin Palmieri (2-0, 1 KO) of Maple Shade, N.J. in separate bouts.
