PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Pittsfield’s Quintin Sumpter next fight, this Saturday, will be his biggest yet.
Following up his victory on March 23 at Pandemonium at the Palladium 3, the fighter out of Cherry Street Boxing (7-2, 4 KOs) will face Sonny “The Bronco” Conto (12-0, 9 KOs) in an eight round heavyweight bout this weekend. It will be the main event at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. Not far from Conto’s hometown of Philadelphia.
“I’m feeling good, been training for a couple weeks. Been getting a lot of sparring in. I feel great about it,” said Sumpter in a phone call to The Eagle. “I know what I’m going into. I’ve been an underdog in a lot of these big fights. Going into other people’s hometowns. I’m kind of adjusted to it.”
