Danny Garcia’s Swift Promotions will hold their first event of 2025 at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia on Saturday, March 8.

Mathew Gonzalez, 15-0-1 (10 KOs), of Ridgewood, New York, takes on Jino Rodrigo, 12-4-2 (10 KOs), of Antipolo City, Rizal, Philippines in an eight-round super lightweight bout that will headline the card. In the eight-round co-featured bout, super middleweight Thomas Lamanna, 38-5-1 (17 KOs), of Millville, New Jersey, will face Noe Alejandro Lopez, 11-6-1 (4 KOs), of Spring, Texas.

Now fighting out of New Jersey under the Swift Promotions banner, Puerto Rican contender Mathew Gonzalez is unbeaten since turning pro in 2017. The only blemish in his pro career so far came via a majority draw against Dakota Linger in October 2021, who also scored an upset stoppage over Kurt Scoby in April 2024. More recently, Gonzalez stopped his last two opponents in the second round.

Welterweight Juan Rivera V, 5-0 (3 KOs), of Philadelphia will go against Maracaibo, Venezuela’s Yeifer Valencia, 6-4 (5 KOs), in a six-round battle, while super lightweight contender Daiyaan Butt, 19-2 (10 KOs), of Newark, New Jersey will fight a scheduled eight rounds against proven veteran Issouf Kinda, 20-6 (9 KOs), of the Bronx via Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

In a six-round junior flyweight bout, rising women’s prospect Nyousha Nakhjiri, 1-0, of Vancouver, Canada via Iran competes against Josefina Vega, 9-11 (4 KOs), of New York City via Quito, Ecuador.

Allentown, Pennsylvania, prospect Thanjhae Teasley, 11-0 (5 KOs), will put his undefeated record on the line in a super welterweight six-rounder versus the Dominican Republic’s Eudy Bernardo, 25-8 (18 KOs).

Super lightweight Thomas Blumenfeld, 7-0 (6 KOs), of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, will take on once-beaten rival Frankie Sanchez Jnr, 7-1-2 (6 KOs), of Aurora, California, over eight rounds. Maple Shade, New Jersey, lightweight Justin Palmieri, 3-0 (1 KO), will appear in a four-round bout against Antonio Gates, 3-0 (2 KOs), of Metairie, Louisiana via Chicago.

“This is gonna be a can’t-miss night for Swift Promotions to kick off the year on March 8 at 2300 Arena in Philly,” said former boxer and CEO of Swift Promotions Danny Garcia. “We’ve got some of the best young talent in the world going into that ring and I can’t wait for them to display their skills.”

A 14-year professional, the LaManna knocked out Juan Carlos Abreu in his most recent fight in June. LaManna has won his last eight bouts, dating back to 2021.

Born in Iran and representing Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Nyousha Nakhjiri (1-0) was a prolific amateur who was ranked as the No. 1 flyweight on the Canadian National Team before she turned pro last May. The 27-year-old had a successful pro debut that saw her defeat Frida Citlati Torres Rangel by decision last May.
