Cleveland fight fans, get ready! Promoter Allegra Gedeon proudly presents the return of War on the Shore, a high-stakes night of professional and amateur boxing guaranteed to bring fireworks. This summer spectacle is shaping up to be one of the most exciting fight nights in the city’s history.

Main Event – Heavyweight Showdown

Headlining the card is local powerhouse Dajuan “The Punisher” Calloway (11-4, 9 KOs). Weighing in at over 400 lbs and known for his rare agility, Calloway faces a serious challenge in Justin Novaria, a 40-fight veteran who’s gone the distance with elite opponents nationwide. The two will meet in an eight-round battle that promises explosive action from the opening bell.

Co-Main Event – Undefeated Cruiserweight Clash

In a fierce 8-round matchup, Jordan Gruszewski (4-0-1, 3 KOs) of Cleveland takes on Pittsburgh’s Jordan Carr (2-0). Gruszewski’s fan-favorite style—relentless pressure and smart angles—meets Carr’s own unbeaten momentum in a fight that has “Fight of the Night” written all over it.

Historic 12-Round Feature Fight

Rising star Nick Rezek (5-1, 2 KOs) returns after a commanding 10-round decision win in April. He now takes on Kentucky veteran Joe Thompson in the first 12-round bout in War on the Shore history, marking a huge milestone for both Rezek and the promotion.

Super Welterweight Title Fight

Reigning champion “Prince” Hamza Abedrabo (5-1, 2 KOs) looks to defend his title against Detroit’s Garrett Ross (4-2-1). Abedrabo earned his crown with a dramatic knockout in January and now returns to showcase his championship mettle in front of a home crowd.
