Atlantic City, N.J. - On Saturday, March 26th Rising Star Promotions is back in Atlantic City at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall with Boardwalk Boxing: Rising Star Series Rd. 1 will be topped by Jr. Welterweight prospects Greg “Sharp Shooter” Outlaw (9-1, 4KOs) of Bowie, Md., and Jonathan Montrel (12-0, 7KOs) of New Orleans, La., will square off in an eight-round special attraction for the vacant WBA-NABA GOLD Championship. 

The card is a production led by popular New Jersey Middleweight contender and World Title challenger Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna in association with the Atlantic City Sports Commission. 

"I commend these two fighters for taking a serious challenge so early in their career, I just felt it was right to bless them with an opportunity to make a dramatic impact in their career. I have no hand in the pot with these fighters. This is what it's all about, giving opportunity. May the best man win and I will be there for any help and support I can to eventually get them to a world title opportunity," said Cornflake LaManna. 

Omar Salem and Christopher Booker, an exciting pair of 6’1” orthodox super middleweights, will square off in a six-round co-feature bout. Salem (10-1, 4KOs), a Staten Island, N.Y. native fighting out of Brooklyn, has fought three times in Atlantic City and is coming off a win over Dustin Luff last September in Springdale, Ark. A seven-year veteran from Philadelphia, Pa., Booker fought four times in 2021, including a bout against title contender Andre Dirrell last July in Newark, N.J. and against Steve Rolls on December 17, in Montreal, Canada. It will be Booker’s third fight in Atlantic City.
