Adams recently upset an undefeated prospect to win the NABA-US Super Middleweight title and Hernandez is coming off a career best win by stopping Mike Montoya in Chicago. Caleb Hernandez is going to be an excellent fight that I believe is going to give the crowd their money’s worth. We had a different main event planned for this show but unfortunately that fell through, so in the spirit of what the ‘Grand Friday Night Fights’ series has been we went out and matched two of the best super middleweight prospects in the Midwest. I can’t wait to see what the next generation does with their opportunities! Combined they were 24-0 fighting in Hinckley and gained invaluable experience for their careers. Minnesota has celebrated 3 different fighters winning world titles in the last few years and all those fighters came up competing in the ring at Grand Casino.

I don’t think the impact that ‘Grand Friday Night Fights’ has had on the Minnesota fight scene can be overstated and how big it is to have it back. Over the years we’ve built one of the most successful casino series and prospect development platforms in the United States. With the amateur programs they are building at Meshakwad Community Center and the continued support of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe I think the sky is the limit for where this series can go in the future. People from all over the country constantly tell us that ‘Grand Friday Night Fights’ is one of their favorite events to work on and travel to. These events have created a family atmosphere between the regular managers, commissioners, fighters, trainers and everyone else associated with these shows. I’m looking forward to getting the Minnesota boxing community back together.

Caleb Hernandez (6-0 6KOs) Schereville, INĬory Rapacz: “I couldn’t be more excited to be working with Grand Casino Hinckley and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe again to bring back the ‘Grand Friday Night Fights’ series.
