Billerica Brawl poster, Dagrin vs Santos, Friday 24 July, Billerica Elks Lodge

John W. Dagrin served his country in uniform. On 24 July 2026 he went back to it in boxing gloves.

The Billerica Brawl at the Elks Lodge in Billerica, Massachusetts was his U.S. debut, promoted by Boston Boxing Promotions, with Dagrin Corporation and the Dog logo right there on the poster. Getting there took a campaign of its own, and people backed the road to America to make it happen.

Across the ring: Igor Santos. It ended the way John’s fights end, with a stoppage, at 1:22 of round three.

Three for three

Three professional fights, two countries, three stoppages, and not one of them reached the final bell. Every one of those nights made the same argument: John ‘The Dog’ Dagrin comes to finish.

Record: 3–0, 3 stoppages.
