An intriguing heavyweight showdown will go down on Суббота, Июль 16, as WBO #5-, IBF #5-, и действующий чемпион NABF в тяжелом весе с рейтингом WBC №7 Энди “Разрушитель из Мехикали” Руис (27-0, 18 КО) has agreed to face comebacking KO artist Joshua “Josh Dempsey” Гормли (22-4, 21 КО) in his next ring appearance.
При поддержке виски-бара Thomas Magee’s Sporting House, Билеты на “Детройт Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Сиденья-боксы $100, Ринга $93, Зарезервированный $63 и $38, и балкон $28, и доступны во всех торговых точках Ticketmaster и Tickmaster.com.
26-летний Руис, from Mexicali, Baja California, Мексика, will face the determined and upset-minded 41-year-old Gormley, from Torrance in a non-title fight in the 10-round main event of Salita Promotions’ следующий “Детройт Brawl” installment at the Masonic Temple in Downtown Detroit.
Ruiz has made four successful defenses of his NABF Championship. До этого, he held the WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight Championship and made an additional three successful defenses before relinquishing. In his last in-ring appearance, he stopped former world title challenger Ray Austin in the fourth round on Мая 14 в студии, Калифорния.
Гормли, who bills himself as a distant relative of former champ Jack Dempsey, reportedly trains with Dino Spencer and Luis “Chiro” Perez at the 5th St. Gym in Miami, Флорида. He is on a three-fight KO streak since coming back from a 16-year layoff in late 2015. Despite having had no amateur boxing career, Dempsey fought his way to up-and-comer status in the late 90s and was a fan favorite. He also worked with former champion Lennox Lewis as a sparring partner. Gormley is a former California State Wrestling Champion and MMA fighter and the older brother of UFC fighter Chase Gormley.
Giving the “Детройт Brawl” crowd its usual international flavor will be welterweights Giorgi Gelashvili (4-0, 2 КО) Brooklyn via Georgia and Serdar Hadurbadyev (2-0, 2 КО) Туркменабата, Turkmenistan in separate six-round bouts.
Также, making his long-awaited four-round pro debut that night will be “Левша принц” Гейт Карим, a three-time national amateur champion from Dearborn, Мичиган. A product of the Kronk Gym, Karim was being touted as a future star by legendary Kronk founder Emanuel Steward since the age of 11. He will compete as a junior middleweight.
Also scheduled for action that night are crowd-favorite Detroit prospects including cruiserweight Demetrius Banks (7-0, 4 КО) в шесть-раундовый; middleweight Dorell Van Horn Jr (9-0, 6 КО) в шесть-раундовый; as well as promising Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (1-0, 1 KO); супер легчайший Зак Шамун (3-0-1, 3 КО) of Bloomfield Hills Michigan; and cruiserweight Clarence Dubose (3-0, 3 КО) of Eastpointe, Мичиган, в отдельных четырехраундах.
