LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Nicholas Bareis Presents Superstars Of Boxing “Friday Night Fights,” returning to Triple Crown Pavilion on Friday, October 2, 2026, for one of the region’s most anticipated nights of professional boxing.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m., with the first bell scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Headlining the event will be Louisville welterweight sensation Demontaze “Juicy” Duncan, who enters the ring with a professional record of 15-1, including 14 victories by knockout.
Known as “The People’s Champ,” Duncan has developed into one of the most exciting welterweight prospects in professional boxing. The former national amateur champion, four-time Golden Gloves champion and Team USA standout has built a loyal hometown following with his devastating punching power, crowd-pleasing style and deep connection to the Louisville community.
“Juicy Loves Louisville,” and on October 2, Louisville will have another opportunity to show that the feeling is mutual.
“Demontaze Duncan represents everything Superstars Of Boxing is about,” said promoter Nicholas Bareis. “He comes from Louisville, he fights for Louisville, and he brings an energy to the building that people have to experience in person. We are building something special in this city, and October 2 will be another major step forward for our fighters, our promotion and professional boxing throughout this entire region.”
The October 2 card will showcase an exciting collection of established contenders, undefeated prospects, knockout punchers and emerging talent from Louisville and across the country. Fighters promoted for the event include Nasel “The Real Deal” Reed, Johnell “Filthy” Taylor, Jasir “Sosa” Riley, Alex Maldonado, Yorman “Aztec Warrior” Guerrero, Tyler Albrecht, William Phillips, VeShawn Champion, along with additional talent.
From Duncan’s explosive knockout power to Reed’s rising hometown popularity, Taylor’s unpredictable personality and one-punch power, Riley’s elite amateur pedigree and the relentless styles of Guerrero and the other featured fighters, “Friday Night Fights” promises action from the opening bell through the main event.
Superstars Of Boxing has quickly established itself as Louisville’s destination for professional boxing and one of the fastest-growing boxing promotions in the United States. The promotion combines competitive matchmaking, high-level production, hometown personalities and an electric live atmosphere to create an experience that reaches beyond the fights themselves.
“Louisville is the City of Legends, and we are developing the next generation of superstars,” Bareis said. “We want every boxing fan, sports fan, business owner and family in this region to be part of what we are building. These are not just boxing matches. These are major Louisville events that bring people together and give our fighters the platform they deserve.”
Superstars Of Boxing continues Louisville’s proud fighting tradition while creating new opportunities for local and regional athletes to compete on a professionally produced stage. With its expanding fan base, growing list of community partners and fighters arriving from across the United States and around the world, the promotion is positioning Louisville as a must-visit destination for professional boxing.
