Four premium high school freestyle wrestling matches will be showcased between Final X sessions on Saturday, June 10 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.


There will be a boys and girls matchup at the conclusion of the first Final X session at approximately 4:15 p.m. (ET). The second set of matchups will be prior to the evening Final X session, which starts at 6 p.m. (ET).


Aubre Krazer (Easton, Pa.) will face Kira Pipkins (Bloomfield, N.J.), and Paul Kenny (Christian Brothers Academy, N.J.) will meet Seth Mendoza (Mount Carmel, IL) after Final X session one. Jordan Chapman (Cranford, N.J.) will face Alessio Perentin (Delbarton, N.J.), and Carina Giangeruso (Columbus, N.J.) will meet Maura White (Jefferson, N.J.) prior to Final X session two.


It is the second straight year Final X will serve as the Beat the Streets New York Annual Benefit. This year’s event will be the 13th BTSNY Annual Benefit. These unique and electrifying annual events help BTSNY raise more than $1 million each year to support local youth wrestling programs which empower young people in New York City. The BTSNY Annual Benefit after-party will follow the conclusion of Final X.


Benefit tickets and sponsorship packages (Final X plus exclusive after-party celebration access), that also provide the best wrestling-event seats, are available at give.btsny.org/beatthestreetsbenefit2023. For more information on ticket packages, email Katrin Pokalyukhin at katrin@btsny.org.


Proceeds from Benefit tickets and sponsorship packages will directly help BTSNY, which provides a safe, positive atmosphere for student-athletes to learn the essential life lessons of discipline, perseverance, self-reliance, humility and a strong work ethic through wrestling.


Event-only tickets for Final X without access to the BTSNY after-party celebration are available on Ticketmaster.

FloWrestling will serve as the host broadcasting partner for Final X, presented by Tezos.
