Extra Points: Pleasantville boxer hoping to extend winning streak

Pleasantville welterweight boxer Anthony Young will seek to extend the area's longest current winning streak tonight at Showboat Hotel Atlantic City.

Young (23-2, 8 KOs) will be trying for his 13th straight victory in an eight-round fight against Jose Zaragosa (9-5-1, 3 KOs), of Sedalia, Missouri.

Young, 34, hasn't loss in six years. His last defeat was a fifth-round TKO to Skender Halili on Feb. 2, 2016 at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall's Adrian Phillips Ballroom. Inactivity has prevented him from making a major jump in the 147-pound division, however. Tonight's bout will be his first in nearly 11 months, since an eight-round, split decision over Luis Midyeal Sanchez on Dec. 4, 2021 at Showboat.

Zaragosa, 34, is coming off the biggest win of his career. He snapped a two-fight losing streak with a first-round knockout over Ricardo Valdovinos (8-2, 5 KOs) in San Diego on Aug. 27.

Six other bouts are on the card, which is being promoted by Cherry Hill-based R&B Promotions. Tickets are priced from $55 to $175 and are available on randbpromo.ticketleap.com and at the door. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with the first fight scheduled for 7 p.m.
