HAMMER” JONES
New York, March 21, 2007—Wilmer Vasquez, 1-0 (1 KO), the hard-punching
heavyweight who represented his native Venezuela at the 2004 Olympic
Games in Athens, will fight Mike “The Hammer” Jones, 3-7 (1 KO), of
Detroit, in a four rounder at the Huntington Town House in Huntington
Station, Long Island, on Friday, March 23, 2007.
The show, which is being promoted by Bob Duffy’s Ring Promotions and
Frankie G. Productions, is being headlined by two natives of Poland.
Undefeated junior middleweight Pawel Wolak, 13-0 (8 KOS), of Brooklyn,
