We sold out the venue and had a great crowd for our milestone 50th event,” said WFC Promoter Matt McGovern. “We’ve been very lucky to have partnered with some great fighters and teams here in Pennsylvania, and we’re excited to do it again. Nieves-Mojica is a great fight, that has all the makings of a fight of the year candidate, and it’s an honor to bring it to Pennsylvania Boxing fans, and to the Meadows Racetrack and Casino.”
