In the Main Event, Zahir Raheem and Tim Coleman are two fighters waiting to unleash their potential will step into the ring to headline Halquist Productions boxing event. Raheem, fighting under the Halquist Productions banner for the third time will look to add to the momentum he’s established earlier this year with two impressive victories.

Tickets for Battle at the Boat 93 are still available and can be purchased at the Emerald Queen Casino box office and through Ticketmaster. Prices start at $25.
Raheem’s comeback to the sport of boxing earlier this year has gotten off to a successful start. In March, Raheem quickly defeated Santos Pakau with a TKO in the second round. Raheem followed suit in June when he defeated Justin Juuko via TKO in the fourth round. Coleman has most recently appeared twice on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights when he took on Vernon Paris and Kendall Holt.
When Zahir Raheem (33-3-0, 20 KOs) and Tim Coleman (19-3-1, 5 KOs) step into the ring to headline Battle at the Boat 93, it will not just be another main event.
