This Saturday night, Philadelphia’s boxing scene will be set ablaze as RDR Promotions kicks off its 2024 calendar with a colossal 14-fight card at Harrah’s Philadelphia. Leading the charge in the main event is the unbeaten Isaiah Johnson (8-0, 6 KOs), a welterweight powerhouse from Sicklerville, New Jersey, as he faces the determined Sebastian Gabriel Chaves (5-7, 2 KOs) from Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a gripping six-round junior welterweight showdown.
Johnson, entering his third professional year, is hot off a third-round stoppage victory over Marquis Hawthorne last May in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Chaves, with a win over the previously undefeated Dorian Maidana, aims to rebound from a recent loss to Greg Outlaw in Philadelphia.
The co-main event spotlight shines on Devon Lee (8-0, 7 KOs) of Las Vegas, who ends a five-year hiatus to battle the seasoned Rondale Hubbert (15-27-5, 9 KOs) from Duluth, Minnesota, in an eight-round welterweight clash. Lee, a seven-knockout artist, returns to the ring eager to continue his undefeated streak, while Hubbert, boasting wins over notable opponents, seeks redemption following a decision loss to Joseph Fernandez in Tampa, Florida.
The card is stacked with talent across various weight classes. In six-round action, Philadelphia's own Erron Peterson (4-0-1, 3 KOs) meets Christopher Arguello (2-15-1, 2 KOs) of Colorado Springs in a middleweight bout. The night also features four-round battles, including Brooklyn’s Pryce Taylor (1-0, 1 KO) in a heavyweight contest and Philadelphia’s Hakeem Harmon (1-0, 1 KO) in a welterweight fight, both against opponents yet to be announced.
