MOUNDSVILLE — It’s been nearly three decades since professional boxing has been held inside the West Virginia State Penitentiary. Not since hometown favorite Rocky Young posted a TKO over Dominick Monaco on Sept. 26, 1987.

That stretch of time will come to an end on Saturday, June 24 when Jim Frio Promotions and Revolution Championship Boxing and MMA presents “Prison Fest: Disorderly Conduct.” The 12-fight card will consist mostly of MMA matches, with some amateur and professional boxing bouts. However, all bouts are subject to change without notice.

“We think we have a pretty nice card lined up,” matchmaker Tommy Wilson said. “All of the matches should be pretty evenly matched.

“We’re truly excited to be able to bring professional boxing back to the state penitentiary in Moundsville,” Wilson added. “It should be a great atmosphere for our event.”

The main event has Josh “The Handsome Hitman” Himes (10-2, 6KOs) facing Armin “The Bosnian Prince” Mrkanovic (7-2, 3KOs) for the vacant Universal Boxing Federation’s Cruiserweight All-American title, which covers North and South America. The bout is scheduled for 8 three-minute rounds.

The 27-year-old Himes hails from Nashville and last fought in January when he posted a TKO over Jonalis Reyes in the Dominican Republic. Meanwhile, the 37-year-old Mrkanovic hasn’t fought since scoring a unanimous decision over Dave Valykeo at Resorts World Casino in Queens on Feb. 14, 2015.

Locally, Wheeling’s Eric Bledsoe (3-1, 1KO) is matched in the co-main event with an as-of-yet undetermined opponent.

Another local fighter that Frio and Wilson are high on is Bethesda’s Kamron Chervanek (5-2). She is set to meet Clarksburg’s Haley Bishop in a bout scheduled for three rounds at 155 pounds.

“This is our future,” Frio boldly said while pointing to the 20-year-old Chervanek. “She is going to be a really good fighter.”

The 2015 Union Local graduate, a two-time Ohio Valley Toughman Contest runnerup, showed no hesitation when she said, “I’m ready to make it 6-2 … 7-2 and so on.”

When asked what she knew about her opponent, she replied, “I think she won the Parkersburg Toughwoman a couple of years ago, but, truthfully, the less I know about her the better off I am. If I get to seeing that she is married and has kids and such, I’ll feel bad. That’s something I’ve got to get over … the woman aspect of it. I have issues with that.

“I’m not a naturally mean person,” she continued. “That’s my biggest issue. I know I have to go out and be mean, and I try my best, but there’s always that woman thing in the back of my mind.”

Doors open at 4 p.m., with the first-bell sounding at 5:30.
