The vibrant city of Marbella is poised for an unforgettable evening as New Era Boxing presents its highly anticipated Black Tie Boxing Gala at the Hard Rock Hotel on Saturday, November 7. This event promises to deliver a unique blend of elite sports, exquisite dining, and an electrifying atmosphere.

Title Bout Features Gibraltar's Victor

The main event showcases the undefeated Gibraltar champion, Tyrone ‘El Bombero’ Buttigieg, who will be defending his Commonwealth super-bantamweight title against Tanzania's Hassan Ndonga. With a perfect record of 13 wins, Buttigieg faces Ndonga, who boasts an accomplished 14-4-1 record, including seven knockouts.

Buttigieg, reflecting on his last title defense, mentioned the challenges he expects from Ndonga, recognizing the strength and skill of his opponent. This, he hopes, will lead to an even more compelling performance as he looks to maintain his unbeaten streak.

More Than Just Boxing

The Black Tie Boxing Gala is not your typical fight night. New Era Boxing, under the direction of British promoter Antony Neilson, invites attendees to enjoy a full evening of refined entertainment. Alongside thrilling boxing matches, guests will indulge in gala dining, with a chance for business networking and participation in a charity auction.

Among the enticing auction items are high-value helicopter experiences, luxurious jewelry, hotel stays, and rejuvenating spa packages. Every penny raised from this charity initiative will go to a children's charity selected by public votes through New Era Boxing’s social media platforms. As the night continues, a lively after-party will allow guests to dance well into the night.

An Exciting Undercard

The evening’s supporting card will feature an array of promising fighters, ensuring attendees will be captivated from the start. Featured matchups include Algeciras fighter Grizzly Ortiz, who holds a 3-0 record, taking on Deepak Pathak from the UK.

Additionally, the night will showcase Agit Bilge from Sweden, remaining unbeaten at 7-0, facing Venezuela's Melbyn Hernandez, who has a mixed record of 10 wins and 21 losses. The action continues with British fighter Jordan Sherriff (2-0) against experienced Nicaraguan Robin Zamora (22-57), and Czech star Robert Toman (8-0) battling Venezuela's Keine Montenegro (18-8).

Two additional bouts will feature Britain’s Freddy Warren and Sweden’s Patricia Berghult, with details about their opponents still pending.
