Two young prospects from Wyman’s Boxing Club in Stockton Springs will be back in action Saturday night during an amateur boxing card at the Longley Elementary School in Lewiston.
Ashten Wells of Searsport, who will be a sophomore at Searsport District High School this fall, will attempt to score her sixth straight victory when she competes in a 119-pound women’s bout against Lewiston teen Emily Mousseau.
Christian Fisk of Rockport, a recent graduate of Camden Hills Memorial High School, will face Juan Perez of Nashua, New Hampshire, in a 132-pound contest.
Fisk last fought on April 30 in Newton, Massachusetts, and edged local favorite Elias Valdez by split decision to improve his record to 4-1.
Perez is coming off a three-round loss by unanimous decision to Lincolnville’s Jack Simpkins during an April card in Lewiston.
“Christian’s in wicked shape, and he thinks he wants to pursue a professional career and I told him that this is when you prove all that, in these amateur bouts,” said trainer Ken “Skeet” Wyman of Wells. “I said this is when you’ve got to go out there and do your business and he said, ‘Watch me.’”
Two competitors from Thunderpig Boxing, based at Young’s MMA in Bangor, also will be on the Lewiston card.
Both Jayda Bailey, a 16-year-old from Levant, and Rick Miles, in his mid-30s from Brewer, will be making their amateur boxing debuts, according to trainer Levi Sewall.
Bailey, a student at Hermon High School, has been active in wrestling and grappling in recent years, while Miles took up the sport approximately a year ago.
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly identified a former opponent of Ashten Wells.
