Former Boston Bruins enforcer and current radio personality Lyndon Byers will be throwing fists once more, this time for a good cause during the God of Martial Arts mixed martial arts event at the DCU Center on May 21.
Byers will take on former toughman legend Eric "Butterbean" Esch in a charity super-heavyweight bout to raise money for a slain Boston police officer, according to Byers.
Byers is best known for his fighting abilities on the ice with the Bruins in the 80s. He is now on a local radio morning show and has also made appearances in television shows with friend Denis Leary.
The fight is just one of many on the card at the DCU Center, which will be the first "major" MMA event in the Bay State since the sport was sanctioned earlier this year.
The main event features former Ultimate Fighting Championship champion Tim Sylvia against five-time World's Strongest Man winner Mariusz Pudzianowski of Poland. Also featured on the card is former Salem High School wrestling and football standout Dan Keefe, one of the local scene's rising stars who is 6-1 and currently holds an Xtreme Cage Fighting League title.
The fight between Byers and Esch won't be aired during the pay-per-view event being made available.
