Arnaoutis-Coleman
Clash in New York City
November 5, 2009
(NOV 5) Atlantic City, NJ - With the
stakes higher than ever, "Mighty" Mike Arnaoutis will face another tough
challenge when he meets Baltimore, MD's Tim "The Pitbull" Coleman in a
12 round contest for the vacant USBA junior welterweight title. Joe
Deguardia's Star Boxing will promote the event in the classy Grand
Ballroom at the Manhattan Center in New York City, NY.
Arnaoutis, 22-3-2 (10 KO), of Atlantic City, NJ by way of Sparta, Greece
has faced the very elite of the division including champs Juan Urango,
Kendall Holt and Ricardo Torres. The heavy-handed southpaw slickster is
back with trainer Ray McCline and says that he feels rejuvenated and
ready to go.
"I'm hungry to win back my title. I'm happy to be back fighting in New
York City where I've had some of my best fights. I want to thank Star
Boxing for giving me this opportunity. I want to win a world more than
ever and I need to first beat Coleman to achieve my dream."
The 16-1-1 (4 KO) Coleman's experience comes from 180 amateur bouts and
numerous tours in training camp with the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr.,
Ricky Hatton and Zab Judah. He has been training for two months in
Manchester, England with trainer Lee Beard after a bout with Marvin
Cordova fell through. Though he has never fought in a 12 round fight, he
is determined to show the world what he's made of.
"This is the biggest fight of my life and will make me or break me in
boxing," says Coleman. "I'm not gonna let this man beat me. Come
December 3 I'm gonna let it all hang out!"
