Casamayor to fight February 24th
(FEB 1) As
one of boxing’s best, pound for pound, former World Champion Joel
Casamayor knows what it takes to compete at the highest levels of the
sport on a consistent basis. On February 24th, ‘El Cepillo’ will show
fight fans that he not only still has it, but that he’s ready to make
another world title run in 2006 when he competes in the co-featured bout
at the Seminole Hard Rock Live Arena in Hollywood, Florida, against an
opponent to be announced shortly.
This 10 round lightweight bout is part of an exciting night of boxing
presented by Warriors Boxing Promotions. The card, which is headlined by
the Light Heavyweight showdown between Glen Johnson and Richard Hall for
the IBA Light Heavyweight World Title, will also air live on
pay-per-view beginning at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.
Despite his impressive 31-3-1 (19 KOs) record, there are many in the
boxing industry that feel Joel Casamayor is still undefeated, as they
believe controversial decision losses to Jose Luis Castillo, Diego
Corrales, and Acelino Freitas should have gone towards the native of
Guantanamo, Cuba. Nonetheless, the 34-year-old Casamayor, a former WBA
and IBA World Super Featherweight Champion, is still considered to be
among the best in the world, with his slick southpaw style, flawless
defense and warrior’s heart.
And he’ll be bringing all his tools to the Hard Rock Live Arena at the
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on February 24th. Also featured on
the show will be Heavyweight Timor Ibragimov, top Lightweight contender
Ricky Quiles, and rising stars Adailton DeJesus, Samuel Miller, and
Erivan Conseicao.
Tickets for “The Return of The Road Warrior” are priced at $150, $100,
and $50. For more information please call 954.523.3309 or visit
