Maddalone has fought some of the best fighters in the World including World Champions Evander Holyfield, Tomasz Adamek, Jean-Marc Mormeck, Al Cole
The 24-year-old Carmack, 12-0-0 (10KO’s), is coming off a show stopping, one punch knockout of perennial contender Carl Davis, Jr. on November 16, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois.
