Duddy
& Foreman one-two punch in Boston “Super Brawl: The Battle of Boston”
Feb. 4
WOBURN, Mass. (January 24, 2006) – Two of the brightest, most exciting
prospects in pro boxing, “Ireland’s” John Duddy (14-0, 13 KOs) and Yuri
Foreman (19-0, 7 KOs), will be in action February 4 in “Super Brawl: The
Battle of Boston,” presented by New England Ringside Promotions, in The
Castle at Park Plaza in downtown Boston.
Unbeaten Irish middleweight sensation Duddy, born in Northern Ireland
and now fighting out of Queens (NY), has been matched against veteran
Julio Jean
(7-6-12, 3 KOs) in the 10-round main event. Duddy is rated No. 15 by the
World Boxing Association.
The Haitian-born Jean, now living in Florida, won a unanimous
eight-round decision two fights ago against previously unbeaten
Eromosele Albert (10-0), the former two-time Nigerian Olympian.
The World Boxing Council rates the Belarus-born Foreman, now fighting
out of Brooklyn, as its No. 24 junior middleweight. He is a three-time
Israeli
amateur champion, as well as a title winner in the 2001 New York Golden
Gloves. His opponent is Jimmy “The Dream” LeBlanc (11-9-4, 3 KOs), of
South Boston, in the 10-round co-feature.
“We’re thrilled to have these two great prospects fighting on our card
at The Castle,” New England Ringside president Rick Brutti said. “Fans
coming
to this show will look back in a couple of years, when Duddy and Foreman
are world champions, and remember watching them fight for the first time
in
Boston. We have a strong undercard, too. It’s going to be a night to
remember.”
Also scheduled to fight on the Feb. 4 card is 4-time New York City
Golden Gloves champion Jorge “The Truth” Teron (9-0, 7 KOs), of
Brooklyn, against lightweight Marcus “Bad” Luck (5-8-1, 3 KOs), Quincy
(MA) super middleweight Chris Traietti (2-0, 1 KO), the 19-year-old
Westfield State College sychology major, versus Bernard Higgins
(Raleigh-Durham, NC) in his pro
debut. Haverhill lightweight Simeon Dunwell (1-0, 1 KO) and Pawtucket
(R.I.) super lightweight
Eddie Soto (3-0, 2 KOs) are slated to fight in separate matches. All
bouts and fighters are subject to change as well as the approval of the
Mass. Boxing Commission.
