📰 NEWS--📰 WELTERWEIGHT TITLE WILL BE ON THE LINE AT NEF 54


[NEF PRESS RELEASE]

 Portland, Maine (August 8, 2023) – New England Fights and Boston Boxing Promotions present “NEF 54: A Fight at the Opera” on Saturday, September 2, 2023, at Merrill Auditorium in Portland.  A full pro boxing card will take place beginning at 5 pm immediately followed by a full MMA card.  Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur MMA welterweight championship bout to the card.  David Burke (3-1) is scheduled to meet Devin Corson (4-1) for the vacant 170-pound strap.

The title was previously held by Kyle Hill (4-0) who vacated the belt on his decision to turn pro earlier this year.  As Hill’s teammate at Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire, Burke will look to keep the title in the Nostos camp.  All three of Burke’s previous wins have come by way of first-round stoppage.  He is a perfect 2-0 in the NEF cage with victories over David McCarty (1-4) and Ryan Fredette (0-1) last year at “NEF 47” and “NEF 48” respectively. Burke trains under UFC veteran and former NEF Pro Lightweight Champion Devin Powell.

“I can’t wait to be back at home in the NEF cage,” noted Burke. “It’s been too long since I’ve been able to do what I do in front of the Maine fight fans. Get ready for a good one!”

[NEF PRESS RELEASE]

 Bangor, Maine (January 11, 2023) – New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine on February 11, 2023, with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event “NEF 51: Banger in Bangor.”  Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur welterweight fight to the card. Devin Corson (3-1) is scheduled to take on former Welterweight Title Challenger Curtis Ouellette (3-3) at a fight weight of 170 pounds.

Devin Corson will make his return to action in the NEF cage after an absence of more than three years.  He last competed at “NEF 40” in September 2019 with a win over Jacob Deppmeyer (currently 3-0 as a pro) by unanimous decision in an amateur lightweight bout.  A wrestling alum from Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, Corson has established a reputation for scoring highlight-reel slams and takedowns in the MMA cage.  The fight with Ouellette will be Corson’s first in the welterweight division.  He previously competed as a lightweight.  Corson represents Titan Athletics based in nearby Brewer, Maine.
