Police were called to Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI a few weeks back after a bizarre incident that occurred at a boxing event (per WPRI). The incident ended with the arrest of a boxing promoter and allegations that he taunted and attacked a TKO’d fighter.

This all took place on Saturday, February 23rd during a Classic Entertainment & Sports (CES) Boxing show. CES boxing, and its sister company CES MMA, are both based in Providence, RI. CES is one of the most recognizable brands in New England regional combat sports.

The February 23rd show featured Marcia Agripino defeating Amanda Pavone for the vacant USA New England Super Bantamweight title and Ricardo Quiroz besting Jamaine Ortiz for the vacant WBC Youth World Lightweight Title.
