Dominic Walton's Teflon Promotions returned on June 13, 2026, with "Father’s Day Brawl," a seven-fight professional boxing card featuring a mix of rising prospects, pro debuts, and local Philadelphia favorites. The night of fights at the Grand Ballroom in West Philly (formerly known as First District Plaza) produced six stoppages, several dominant performances, and plenty of action from opening bell to final knockout.

JIBRIL NOBLE TKO4 IVAN DELGADO ALVARADO (2:25)  
Main Event - Lightweight Bout - 4 Rounds

The main event featured undefeated Philly lightweight Jabril Noble against Ivan Delgado Alvarado of Mexico. Noble entered the bout looking to continue building momentum following an impressive stoppage victory over Juan Centeno in March. Across the ring stood Alvarado, a dangerous opponent and a legitimate test, whose only professional loss came in his last bout, nearly three years ago.

The matchup quickly developed into an entertaining chess match. Both fighters displayed patience and discipline while searching for openings. Noble remained composed behind his jab and combinations, refusing to be drawn into Alvarado’s aggressive approach.

Following the fight, Noble credited trainer Greg Hackett for the discipline he showed throughout the bout. “We worked on that all camp,” Noble said. “So it wasn’t hard to do because that’s what he drummed in my head all camp. And we knew that’s what he wanted to do.”

As the rounds progressed, Noble continued boxing effectively while Alvarado pressed forward looking to force exchanges. Then came the moment that changed the fight.

From the corner, Hackett shouted: “It’s that type of fight! Stop playing with him! Knock him the f*** out!” Almost immediately afterward, Noble landed a crushing right hand that scored the fight’s first knockdown.

While the sequence appeared sudden to those watching ringside, Noble explained afterward that the opening had been developing and that Hackett recognized it before he did.

“Yeah, hell yeah,” Noble said when asked if he saw the opening as soon as Hackett called for it. “But he my eyes outside the ring. Sometimes you don’t see what he see. I’m in the war right now, he see different things. He seen it before me. Then once he told me to go, I seen it for myself.”

The exchange drew laughter from the media scrum when Noble described Hackett as the calmer of the two. “He calmer than me,” Noble joked. “Well, he not calm, but you know him. He not calm, but he calmer than me because I’m in there in the middle of war. He can see. That’s my eyes.”

From that point forward, Noble shifted from disciplined boxer to relentless finisher. The measured approach that carried him through the early rounds gave way to an all-out assault as he hunted for the stoppage. Noble poured on the pressure, forcing Alvarado into survival mode before eventually securing a fourth-round TKO. The referee was Eric Dali. Noble inproved to 9-0, 7 KOs. Alvarado left 6-2, 4 KOs.

SCHULTZ SCORES UPSET STOPPAGE
SEAN SCHULTZ TKO3 VAUGHN ADAMS (1:53) 
Cruiserweight - 4 Rounds

Following his impressive professional debut, where he stopped Mike Liberto, Philly southpaw Vaughn "V-Hustle" faced Seab Schultz, of Indianapolis, who entered the ring with an 0-2 record, but made it clear that he intended to bully Adams.

The opening round was exactly the type of fighters fans love to see. Both men stood their ground and traded heavy shots. Neither fighter showed any signs of intimidation.

In round two, Adams began making adjustments amd following instructions from his corner, but Schultz continued finding success with counters and remained committed to his game plan.

By round three, Schultz's pressure paid off. He trapped Adams and unloaded a series of overhand rights that forced referee David Fields to intervene as Adams fell to the canvas. The performance marked the first professional victory for Schultz (1-2, 1 KO) and served as one of the night's biggest surprises. Adams slipped to 1-1, 1 KO.

GREEN EXTENDS WINNING STREAK
TARIQ GREEN TKO3 CHRISTOPHER BROOKER (1:52)
Middleweight Bout - 6 Rounds

Philadelphia middleweight Tariq Green entered the ring riding momentum from a hard-fought grudge-match victory over James Martin in March and looking to extend his winning streak to three against veteran Christopher “Ice Cold” Brooker, also from Philadelphia.

Brooker was making his return after nearly three years away from the ring following a first-round knockout loss to Najee Lopez in Florida.

The opening round saw both fighters cautiously measuring distance and searching for openings. By Round two, Green began increasing the pressure while Brooker started showing signs of fatigue, though the veteran remained dangerous.

Green continued pushing the pace and eventually forced referee Eric Dali to stop the fight in Round three.

It was an action-packed sprint from start to finish, with Green’s activity and conditioning proving to be the difference. The victory extended his winning streak to three fights and improved his record to 8-4-2, 4 KOs. Brooker lost his eighth straight and left 16-15, 6 KOs.

HUNTER-MUNSON DOMINATES SUAREZ
KADEEN HUNTER-MUNSON TKO2 CARLOS SUAREZ (0:42)
Jr. Welterweight Bout - 6 Rounds

Junior welterweight prospect Kadeen “Speedy” Hunter-Munson continued his rise with a dominant stoppage victory over Carlos Gaston Suarez. The son of Pennsylvania Boxing Hall of Famer Eric “The Outlaw” Hunter had his father working the corner, and the family pedigree was on full display.  

Southpaw Hunter-Munson, Philadelphia, controlled the fight from the outset, scoring three knockdowns in the opening round. Suarez, Buenos Aires, Argentina, showed tremendous toughness and repeatedly beat the count, prompting referee David Fields to give him every opportunity to continue.

The punishment continued into the second round. Hunter-Munson scored another knockdown just 42 seconds into the frame before eventually flooring Suarez for a fifth time. After exhausting every chance to continue, Fields stepped in and halted the contest.

The performance showcased both Hunter-Munson’s power and patience as he improved his undefeated record, 8-0, 6 KOs. Suarez fell to 9-13-3, 2 KOs.

[Editor's Note: The originally proposed Father's Day show featuring Hunter-Munson and his combacking father Eric Hunter was foiled when Eric Hunter suffered a hand injury while training. The Hunters and the promoter are still determioned to make such an event happen.]

"KING JA" BACKS UP HIS WORDS
JASIR JUNIOR TKO1 ANTHONY AVILA (1:24)   
Flyweight Bout - 4 Rounds

There was no shortage of tension heading into the flyweight bout between Jasir “King Ja” Junior, Newburgh, NY, and Houston's Anthony Avila. Following heated exchanges during fight week and at the weigh-in, Junior entered the ring determined to make a statement. He came out aggressively from the opening bell, immediately taking the fight to Avila.

The action was fast, sharp, and explosive. Junior never allowed Avila to get comfortable and quickly overwhelmed him with his offensive attack. Referee Eric Dali stepped in at the 1:24 mark of round one, giving Junior a first-round TKO victory in his professional debut (1-0, 1 KO). Avila lost for the second time (0-2).

King Ja talked the talk leading into the fight and backed it up once the bell rang.

GONZALES OUTWORKS ARROLLO
ETHAN GONZALES W4 LUIS ORLANDO VERDUGO (Unanimous)   
Featherweight Bout - 4 Rounds

Featherweight rookie Ethan Gonzales made his professional debut against the more-experienced Mexican veteran Luis Orlando Verdugo Arrollo.  

Gonzales, Trenton, NJ, consistently won the exchanges throughout the contest, using sharp fundamentals and disciplined pressure to control the action. In the second round, he began turning up the intensity, walking through Arrollo’s offense and landing the cleaner punches.

Arrollo remained game throughout the fight and continued pressing forward, but Gonzales maintained control. His most effective weapon was a simple but effective lead jab-hook combinations that repeatedly found its target. He also mixed in well-timed body shots that helped break down his opponent.

After four competitive rounds, Gonzales earned a unanimous decision victory in a successful professional debut (1-0). Arrollo fell to 5-4. The referee was Eric Dali.

MIGUEL MAKES STATEMENT IN DEBUT
DEMALIK MIGUEL KO1 BREON BRYANT (0:38)   
Heavyweight Bout - 4 Rounds

Baltimore heavyweight Demalik Miguel could not have asked for a better start to his professional career. Making his pro debut against Virginia southpaw Breon Bryant, Miguel came out aggressively and immediately backed Bryant up. Bryant never had a chance to get settled before Miguel landed the finishing shots.  

The fight was stopped just 38 seconds into the opening round by referee Eric Dali.

While the quick finish was exactly what Miguel (1-0, 1 KO) trained for, he admitted afterward that he wouldn’t have minded getting a few more rounds of work. Bryant fell to 0-2.

“I kind of wish I could have got a little bit more time, the work,” Miguel said. “But it is what it is. That’s what I trained for.” Miguel also said the outcome unfolded exactly as he expected. “It ended just like I expected,” he said. “I called the knockout.”

The victory came after spending time in training camp with Gervonta “Tank” Davis, an experience Miguel said helped prepare him for his professional debut. “He showed me a lot of ins and outs to the sport,” Miguel said. “He showed me a lot. He’s very explosive, but he showed me a lot.” As for what’s next, Miguel isn’t being selective. “Anybody,” he said with a laugh. “Anybody. You can bring anybody, man. I’m ready. I just came out of camp with Tank. I’m ready.”
