Turning Stone Resort Casino will swap roulette wheels for ring ropes on June 6 when IBF-USBA heavyweight champion Brandon “Bulletproof” Moore (17-1, 10 KOs) defends his title against undefeated Stanley “Iron Fist” Wright (14-0, 11 KOs). The ten-round clash launches International Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Weekend, giving two fringe contenders the perfect stage to prove they belong among the sport’s next wave of big-man threats.

For Moore, still repairing the dent left by last year’s knockout loss to Richard Torrez Jr., a fourth consecutive win would confirm that his comeback run—highlighted by quick stoppages of Olimpo Cespedes and Miguel Viloria and a disqualification victory over Skylar Lacy—was no mirage. The Lakeland, Florida southpaw insists that another emphatic performance will move him from regional strap-holder to serious player in a division suddenly wide open beneath the titleholders.

Charlotte-born Wright, nine years Moore’s senior at thirty-four, brings the confidence of a perfect record and a January points win over Jeremiah Milton that showcased stamina to match his usual knockout power. Having flattened Ritchie Cherry in one round last April, he now welcomes the risk of travelling north in hopes of shattering Moore’s momentum and seizing a ranking that could place him in a world-title eliminator before year’s end.

The card, promoted by Dmitriy Salita, carries Hall-of-Fame gravitas from top to bottom. Unified women’s super-middleweight champion Franchon Crews-Dezurn (9-2, 2 KOs) stakes her WBA and WBC belts against fast-rising Citlalli Ortiz (4-1, 1 KO), while unbeaten super-welter Joseph Hicks (12-0, 8 KOs) tests himself against crafty veteran Wendy Toussaint (16-3, 7 KOs). Lightweight technician Joshua Pagan (12-0, 4 KOs) meets Haiti’s rugged James Bernadin (13-2-1, 6 KOs), and the prelims feature promising names such as Ashleyann Lozada (1-0), Pryce Taylor (7-0, 5 KOs), Da’Velle Smith (11-0, 8 KOs), and local crowd-pleaser Bryce Mills (18-1, 6 KOs).

Salita calls it “a celebration of champions, contenders, and tomorrow’s stars.” For Moore and Wright, it is something simpler: the chance to walk into Hall-of-Fame weekend as the heavyweight nobody can ignore.
