Two undefeated South Jersey heavyweights. Fifteen combined fights. Twelve stoppages. Zero
losses. And a whole lot of history.

Bruce Selden Jr. (8-0, 6 KOs) is the son of WBA Heavyweight Champion of the World Bruce
Selden Sr., and he's carving out a legacy that's entirely his own. Josh Popper (7-0, 6 KOs)
brought elite NFL athleticism to the boxing ring and is now coaching world-ranked amateurs out
of Breadwinners in Manhattan — all while staying undefeated as a pro.

These two have known each other since high school, and when they sit down across from each
other for the first time ahead of their June 13th collision in Atlantic City, things get personal —
fast.

The fight was months in the making, with both sides claiming the other was ducking. There's a
manager who's been talking too loud. There's a football game from 14 years ago that still
apparently means something. And in the middle of it all, Josh Popper puts down the bravado
and speaks man-to-man: no beef with Bruce, just a deep frustration with everything happening
around him.

This is what South Jersey heavyweight boxing looks like up close. Raw. Unfiltered. Undefeated
— for now.

Indeya "Azucar" Rodriguez (7-8-3, 1 KO) def. Lia Lewandowski (3-1, 1 KO)
Super Flyweight — 6 Rounds
Result: Unanimous Decision (59-55, 59-55, 58-56)

Rodriguez pulled off the upset of the night, outworking the previously unbeaten Lewandowski over six competitive rounds. Rodriguez came out aggressively from the opening bell, closing the distance on the much taller Lewandowski and taking the fight to her. Lewandowski landed clean jabs and uppercuts to establish range in the first, but Rodriguez found a home for her overhand right in the second round, rocking Lewandowski with a series of shots that marked up her left cheek. Lewandowski made adjustments in the third, getting her head off the line and catching Rodriguez with shots straight down the middle, but she was never able to sustain the offensive momentum. Her output was almost exclusively off her right hand — she never brought back her left hook after the right. Rodriguez stepped up her aggression over the final two rounds, ripping right hands to the head and body as Lewandowski switched southpaw looking for defensive solutions. Lewandowski never stopped throwing back, but Rodriguez's relentless pace and forward pressure were the difference.

It was the second upset Rodriguez has pulled off on a Boxing Insider Promotions card. She defeated former world title challenger Sulem Urbina in her first appearance on a Boxing Insider show in 2022 — a fight in which Urbina's only prior losses had come to unified champion Marlen Esparza and WBA titleholder Naoko Fujioka. Rodriguez, who fights out of the Rock Boxing Academy in Dallas, said after the fight that she would like to compete at 108 pounds moving forward.

Josh "The Hammer" Popper (6-0, 6 KOs) def. Dillon Pumphrey (1-1)
Heavyweight — 4 Rounds (scheduled)
Result: TKO Round 1 (1:12)

Popper needed just 72 seconds, but this one was hard to celebrate. The undefeated heavyweight from Somers Point, a sculpted 235 pounds, came out with visible intensity after comments made by Pumphrey at the weigh-in created bad blood between the two. Pumphrey, a West Virginia native who weighed in at a grossly overweight 330 pounds and entered the ring wearing Butterbean-inspired trunks to match the look, was never a realistic opponent at that size. He came out swinging haymakers while Popper talked to him from the opening bell, tagging him with jabs and power shots from range. A check left hook dropped Pumphrey for a nine-count. He rose but had no interest in continuing, and the referee waved it off. Popper has now stopped all six of his professional opponents, but this was a mismatch that did nothing to test him.

Julio "Julez" Sanchez III (4-1, 3 KOs) def. Christopher Williams (0-2)
Super Lightweight — 4 Rounds (scheduled)
Result: TKO Round 1 (2:24)

The Pleasantville hometown fighter opened the card with a quick and decisive stoppage. Sanchez blasted the overmatched Williams of Rochester, New York, taking advantage of his opponent's poor balance to land virtually everything he threw. The referee stopped it at 2:24 of the first. Williams offered more resistance to the ring ropes than he did to Sanchez's combinations.

Jacob Riley Solis (8-0-1, 6 KOs) def. Jeremy Ramos (14-17)
Middleweight — 6 Rounds
Result: Unanimous Decision (60-54, 59-55, 59-55)

Solis returned from a 10-month layoff and was never seriously tested. The New York City middleweight controlled the fight entirely with his jab, piling up points round after round while Ramos, 38, of Colorado Springs boxed as if he were in sparring-partner mode. It took Ramos until the sixth round to muster any self-belief and put punches together — he landed a left-hook counter that got Solis's attention, followed by an unanswered right hand — but by then the fight had long been decided. Solis, 34, had been sidelined since last May after suffering a knockout in a public sparring session. The rust was visible, but the jab was sharp and the distance management was sound.
