Undefeated middleweight contender Francis 'Frank the Tank' Hogan (22-0, 17 KOs) returns to the venue where he won the NABF Middleweight Championship to headline another outstanding night of boxing. 

Weymouth's Hogan, one of the fastest-rising middleweights in the country, puts his unbeaten record on the line in the eight-round main event against dangerous Argentine veteran Ricardo Villalba (20-12-1, 8 KOs). Villalba has built a reputation as a durable spoiler willing to travel anywhere in the world to face top opposition, making him another important test as Hogan continues his pursuit of a world title opportunity.

The co-feature showcases one of the most intriguing matchups of the evening as social media star turned legitimate heavyweight prospect Chase DeMoor (6-2-1, 6 KOs) squares off against Scituate's hard-hitting Kevin Nagle (11-1, 8 KOs) for the vacant WBC US Silver Heavyweight Championship. With two heavy-handed punchers vying for their first professional title, fans can expect fireworks.

Topping an outstanding undercard is a New England super lightweight showdown between Dorchester’s Jonathan DePina (15-2, 7 KOs) and New Britain, Connecticut's Anthony Mora (7-9-1, 4 KOs).  DePina, riding a three-fight winning streak dating back to 2023, is coming off a dominant win at Encore in November against the previously unbeaten Elijah Peixoto. In Mora, he faces an active veteran who will step into the ring for the fourth time this year.   

Londonderry, New Hampshire prospect Jaydell 'The Pazmanian Devil' Pazmino (9-0, 8 KOs) makes his first start of 2026 against Rhode Island's Keenan Raymond in a six round super welterweight contest.

Several top female prospects will be in action, as Hyde Park bantamweight Jennifer Perella (5-1, 1 KO) takes on Texan Chantal Sumrall, while Norton police officer Melanie 'Pitbull' Costa (3-1, 1 KO) looks to rebound from the first loss of her professional career when she takes on battle-tested Brittany Dukes of Kansas City.

Several Boston-area fan favorites are also scheduled to appear. Revere's exciting light heavyweight Leonardo Ladeira faces Rhode Island's Everet Desilets, while Hopkinton's Brett Hanlon makes his long-awaited professional debut against New Yorker Ratavious Thrasher.

Opening up the card is a super middleweight barnburner between Barrington, New Hampshire's Ryan Clark and Swansea, Massachusetts' Anthony Andreozzi followed by a four-round middleweight slugfest between Brazil’s Jefferson Almeida and New York's Tymar Miles.

"We’re thrilled to return to Encore Boston Harbor for another great night of championship boxing," said Granite Chin Promotion’s Chris Traietti. "From top to bottom, we’ve loaded this card with championship fights, local rivalries, and competitive matchups."

"Francis Hogan has become one of the hottest middleweight prospects in America," added CES Boxing Founder Jimmy Burchfield Sr.  "There is no better venue in Boston for him to showcase his skills before challenging for a world title than at Encore Boston Harbor. The fans are in for a treat on August 29."
