Lace Up Promotions returns to Lockport’s historic Kenan Center Arena to promote an unprecedented event featuring five title fights dubbing it, “A Night of Champions.” The Main Event, featuring hometown hero “The Son of a Legend” Joe Taylor, will be for the World Kickboxing Association United States Light Heavyweight crown

Lockport’s “Son of a Legend” Joe Taylor makes a historic, nationally-televised second appearance this Friday night at New York City’s Madison Square Garden; joining him will be Syracuse’s Kevin VanNostrand, among the greatest talents ever to grace the Kenan Arena ring.

Check out this spotlight on Kevin VanNostrand from Glory Kickboxing.  

Syracuse can boast being the home of the only current American kickboxing world champion when Liverpool native Kevin VanNostrand captured the title of Glory Interim Featherweight Champion this past December after beating long time fighter Anvar Boynazarov in front of a sold out Madison Square Garden crowd

Interim world featherweight champion Kevin VanNostrand will be forever remembered in his home city of Syracuse, New York. This week the legislative council of Onondaga County, New York voted to declare December 16 to be ‘Kevin VanNostrand Day’ in recognition of his achievements in the sport of kickboxing.
