Justin Figueroa, Lia Lewandowski on Boxing Insider card on March 7

Boxing Insider Promotions will host its seventh  professional boxing event on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the Tropicana Showroom, featuring regional talent from New Jersey, New York, and beyond.

The card is headlined by Junior NABF Super Welterweight Champion “Mr. Atlantic City” Justin Figueroa facing veteran James Blake Franklin in a super welterweight bout. Figueroa steps into the Tropicana Showroom once again to not just defend an unbeaten record, but to embody Atlantic City’s new boxing era.?

Sharing the marquee with Figueroa are two other South Jersey fighters whose talent is matched by their charisma and camera-ready appeal.? Here’s why the trio sizzles:

*      Justin “Mr. Atlantic City” Figueroa (Atlantic City, NJ; 16-0, 12 KOs) – Carrying  his NABF belt into the ring, the Holy Spirit graduate brings star power to the main event, his brand of charisma fits seamlessly into a lifestyle magazine as much as a fight poster.

*      Lia “Rogue” Lewandowski (Berlin, NJ; 3-0, 1 KO) – An undefeated professional flyweight, Lewandowski returns to Atlantic City to face Indeya Rodriguez. Lia has quickly made her one of South Jersey’s most intriguing young pros. A Drexel grad, her blend of brains, beauty, and power in the ring brings a dynamic energy to the women’s bout on the card.?

*      Josh “The Hammer” Popper (Somers Point, NJ; 5-0, 3 KOs) – A Holy Spirit High School graduate and former NFL prospect, Popper has parlayed his athletic pedigree and magnetic personality into a dual life as both a rising heavyweight and founder of Breadwinners Boxing in New York City.

Confirmed bouts on the card include:

• John Leonardo vs. Edgar Joe Cortes – super bantamweight
• Josh Popper vs. Dillon Pumphrey – heavyweight
• Lia Lewandowski vs. Indeya “Azucar” Rodriguez – light flyweight
• Jacob Riley Solis vs. Jeremy Ramos – super welterweight
• Jim Torney vs. Trevor Kotara – heavyweight

Additional fighters scheduled to appear include:

• Julio “Julez” Sanchez III
• Jahanzeb Rizwan
• More bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.

The March 7 event continues a remarkable turnaround at the Tropicana Showroom, which went seven years without a professional boxing card before Boxing Insider Promotions—founded by one of the last American club promoters, Larry Goldberg—brought the sport back to Atlantic City in May 2024.
