(April 11, 2026) Vito “White Magic” Mielnicki Jr. (23-1, 13 KOs) of Roseland, New Jersey, won a unanimous 10-round decision and successfully defended his WBC USA, IBF USBA and WBO Global Middleweight Championships while dominating formerly undefeated Omar Huerta (15-1-1, 13 KOs) of San Ysidro, California.
Fighting in the main event of “The Homecoming: Mielnicki Jr. vs. Huerta” event, presented by Sampson Boxing and Paco Presents, in partnership with Pro Box Promotions, from the Adrian Phillips Theater at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City and broadcast live on ProBoxTV, Mielnicki showed the maturity and technical improvements from his relationship with super-trainer Ronnie Shields, while dismantling the brave but outclassed Huerta.
Looking like a contender ready for a title shot, Mielnicki used his confident, slashing fists to control the action and cruise to scores of 100-90, 100-90 and 99-91 while enjoying a 175-60 edge in power punchers over the 10 rounds.
In the night’s co-featured bout, Cuba’s Yan Marcos (15-0, 10 KOs) won a close split decision over formerly undefeated local favorite Dwyke Flemmings Jr. (11-1, 10 KOs) of Paterson, NJ, to win the WBA Intercontinental & USBA Super Welterweight Championships.
The Cuban Marcos dropped Flemmings with a big left hand in round four. Flemmings returned the favor, dropping Marcos with a strong right hand along the ropes in round five.
Flemmings had a good round nine, landing a series of three strong right hands, but it was not enough to overcome the slightly better work in most of the rounds by the elusive Marcos.
A score of 97-91 Marcos and 96-92 Flemmings was overcome by a deciding 96-92 score for Marcos.
Power-punching Dominican super lightweight Heidan “Sugar” Martinez (18-0, 17 KOs) went the distance for the first time in career with a dominant unanimous 10-round decision over Philadelphia’s Daiyaan “Badshah” Butt (20-4, 10 KOs).
Making his United States fighting debut, the dominant Martinez never found the switch-flipping KO shot he is known for until a wicked Martinez uppercut shook Butt to his heels with about 30 seconds remaining in round 10.
The scores were 100-90, 100-90 and 99-91.
Power-punching light heavyweight prospect Arjan Iseni (6-0, 5 KOs) of Staten Island put in a mature performance in scoring a “closer than the cards” six-round decision over Christian Figueroa (2-1, 2 KOs) of Galloway, NJ. The two 175-lb fighters showed their mettle in this one, as both fought well with obviously high levels of schooling and technique, however Figueroa maintained enough advantage to take the W by scores of 60-54, 59-55 and 59-55.
In the televised opener, lightweight Michael Harris (5-0, 1 KO) of Trenton, NY, showed his advantage in conditioning while winning a high-level four-round majority decision over La’Vay Lawrence (4-3, 3 KOs) of Washington, DC. In a good scrap that could have gone either way, both men had their moments, however, Harris came on strong in the later rounds of the entertaining matchup. The scores were 38-38, overruled by two scores of 39-37 for Harris.
