Rashidi Ellis to headline as CES Boxing returns on back-to-back weekends

Welterweight contender Rashidi Ellis will return against Brian Chaves on Oct. 25 at the Oceanside Events Center in Revere, Massachusetts.

Ellis (24-1, 15 KOs), of Lynn, Massachusetts, and Argentina’s Chaves (14-5, 5 KOs) will headline a CES Boxing card dubbed “Halloween Knock Out,” which will feature many of the best prospects in the Boston area.

CES will return a week later when lightweight prospect Alejandro “El Abusador” Paulino (18-0, 14 KOs) headlines “CES Autumn Classic” against his toughest opponent to date in Toka Kahn Clary (29-3, 19 KOs) on Nov. 2 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Also on the card: junior welterweight prospect Wilson “Ill Will” Mascarenhas (11-1, 5 KOs), “King” Kevin Walsh (14-0, 7 KOs) and several other matchups to be announced.

“These are two fantastic nights of boxing taking place a week apart in New England,” said CES Boxing founder Jimmy Burchfield Sr. “Rashidi Ellis was one of our shining stars on the Boston Butchers this year, and he is only one or two fights away from challenging for a major world title.

“Alejandro Paulino is one of our best prospects in many years. He’s taking a step-up fight against a very tough Toka Kahn Clary and will have to be at his best to pass the test and graduate to contender.”

Additional details will be announced in the coming weeks.
