Local boxing fans should be very familiar with Green, a native of Vancouver, Wash., as a third of his professional bouts have taken place at the Emerald Queen Casino. He won his pro debut locally in 2010 and has registered victories in his last two contests in Tacoma and four of five overall.
Chicas, who fights out of San Francisco, brings a record of 14-2-0 with 7 KOs into the main event. Chicas is coming off a TKO victory over Bilal Mahasin on Jan. 23.
The undefeated Tadeo (7-0-0, 3 KOs) thrilled the EQC crowd at Battle at the Boat 105 on March 26 when he defeated Chad McKinney by unanimous decision. Tadeo, a resident of Auburn, Wash., squares off against hard-hitting Tommy Turner (4-5-0, 3 KOs) in a six-round middleweight bout.
Issac Tadeo
The immensely popular McCleary, a super featherweight from Enumclaw, Wash., faces Giovanni Mioletti in a four-round clash. McCleary sports a record of 8-2-0.
Jeremy McCleary
“Isaac and Jeremy are by far two of the most popular boxers we’ve ever had fight here, and we are talking 20 years and 100 plus shows. So, that’s saying a lot,” promoter Brian Halquist said. “The reason the fans love them is because they give everything they have when they step into that ring. The crowd respond to that. You can always tell when one of them is fighting on a card because the noise level goes through the roof. It’s going to be deafening to have both of them fight on the same night. Buy your tickets fast because these guys have strong followings.”
Additional bouts include Tacoma’s Andre Keys facing Antonio Neal, Damian Savino squaring off against Will Marshall and Andres Reyes taking on Marco Cardenas.
