UNDEFEATED RISING STAR TEJADA RETURNS TO THE BOXING RING AT NEF 54

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Portland, Maine (August 15, 2023) – New England Fights and Boston Boxing Promotions present “NEF 54: A Fight at the Opera” on Saturday, September 2, 2023, at Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Maine. A full pro boxing card will take place beginning at 5 pm immediately followed by a full MMA card. Earlier today, Boston Boxing Promotions announced the addition of a professional boxing welterweight bout to the card as Haverhill, Massachusetts’ Nicky Tejada will meet New York’s Tymar Miles in a match scheduled for four rounds.

This fight will be Tejada’s (5-0, 3 KO’s) third in the calendar year 2023. This past March, he earned a split decision win over the previously undefeated William Frank Harrington (1-1) in front of an audience that included UFC President Dana White. That bout took place on an event shown on “UFC Fight Pass.” A month later, Tejada scored a first round TKO at the Castleton in Windham, New Hampshire over bare knuckle fighting star Paul Walters.

“I’m excited to be back in the ring especially in a new setting like the great city of Portland,” said Tejada. “Whenever I fight, fans can expect action and whenever I fight, I expect to win.”

Tejada, aside from being an undefeated 5-0 pro boxer, was previously a captain on the mat for the Haverhill Hillies wrestling team. His many fans who have followed him from wrestling to boxing will particularly enjoy the unique flare of this event which features boxing in the ring and MMA in the cage side-by-side.

“NEF 54: A Fight at the Opera” takes place on Saturday, September 2, 2023, at Merrill Auditorium in Portland, Maine. A professional boxing card will be presented first by Boston Boxing Promotions immediately followed by an MMA card by New England Fights. Doors are scheduled to open at 4 pm with first fight taking place at 5 pm. Tickets to “NEF 54” are available now at www.porttix.com.
