YOUNG
GUNS AND A FORMER WORLD CHAMP HIGHLIGHT JULY 28 CARD
HOLLYWOOD, FL, July 21 – A host of up and coming prospects and a former
world junior welterweight champion will heat up the Seminole Hard Rock
Live Arena in Hollywood, Florida on Friday, July 28, as they compete on
the undercard of the highly anticipated IBF heavyweight championship
elimination bout between Sultan Ibragimov and Ray Austin.
In the co-main event, unbeaten middleweight bomber Samuel Miller faces
off against tough Canadian Jason Naugler in an eight rounder. Also
featured will be former world junior welterweight champion Randall
Bailey, who will look to move back up the ranks when he battles veteran
Russell Jones.
Ibragimov-Austin, part of a hard-hitting night of boxing presented by
Warriors Boxing Promotions, Golden Grain Promotions and Sampson
Lewkowicz in association with the Seminole Tribe of Florida, will be
televised live on ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights beginning at 9pm ET / 6pm
PT.
14-0 with 12 KOs, Samuel Miller is the latest sensation to emerge from
Colombia, following in the footsteps of world junior welterweight
champion Juan Urango and top middleweight contender Edison Miranda. A
heavy handed boxer with an exciting style, the 26-year-old from
Arboletes is coming off an eight round decision win over Martin
Desjardins in May. His opponent, Halifax’ Jason Naugler (15-5-1, 10
KOs), has won two in a row, including a sixth round knockout of
Rodrigues Moungo in his last bout in June.
Randall Bailey (32-5, 29 KOs) is one of the hardest punchers in the
sport today, with 29 KOs in 32 wins to prove it. The former WBO junior
welterweight champion – who successfully defended his belt twice – has
won his last four bouts, with his last two victories coming by first
round knockout. His opponent on July 28, Ghana’s Russell Stoner Jones
(19-13, 14 KOs) has faced the best in the world during his 12 year
career, including Joel Casamayor, Tracy Harris Patterson, and Julio
Diaz.
Also in action will be 4-0 Richard Abril (who faces a to be determined
foe in a 4 round junior welterweight bout), Miami middleweight Felix
Cepeda (7-1, 4 KOs), who takes on Brooklyn’s Jameson Bostic (6-3, 4 KOs)
in a six rounder, and 1-0 Eliezer Cepeda, who will battle Robert
Irizarry (2-2) in a four round junior middleweight contest.
Rounding out the card is a heavyweight bout between James White (2-3-1,
2 KOs) and debuting Eric Swigler, and a featherweight matchup between
Eylon Kedem (1-0-1) and Angel Luis Torres (0-1-1).
