BETHLEHEM, PA. (Juni 7, 2016) – Former title challenger Edner Cherry (34-7-2, 19 KO) and and quick-fisted contender Lydell Rhodes (23-1-1, 11 KO) will compete in the 10-round lightweight main event of Premier Boxing Champions TOE-tot-teen DINSDAG op FS1 en Boksen Champions op Dinsdag, Juni 28 from Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Vader.
Uitgezonden dekking begint bij 9 p.m. EN/6 p.m. PT and features unbeaten featherweight Omar “Super O” Douglas (16-0, 11 KO) battling hard-hitting Cuban Alexei “The Hurricane” Collado (19-1, 17 KO) in een 10-ronde Bout.
“I know Rhodes is a good fighter and I am preparing for a tough fight,” zei Cherry. “I am still pushing towards a world title. I learned that when you fight for a title, you have to knock out the champ. I’m not giving up. I’m still here and think this will be a great fight. Dit is wat boksen behoeften, two great fighters going at it.”
“I have been waiting for a fight like this for a long time,” said Rhodes. “Cherry is a warrior who has never been stopped. I will be the first person to stop him. I have to go out and dominate against a guy who has fought many world champions. I believe if I do that, it will push me towards a world title shot.”

Kers, van Wauchula, Fla., is een voormalig wereldkampioen titel uitdager, die is 10-1 sinds 2009. His only blemishes since 2007 are losses to Timothy Bradley and Paulie Malignaggi at 140-pounds and his title challenge last October against Jose Pedraza in which he dropped a split decision. Kers, die werd geboren in de Bahama's, owns victories over Vicente Escobedo, Monte Meza Clay and Wes Ferguson and will look to take down a contender on his way to another title shot.
Een multi-sport atleet die heeft deelgenomen aan zowel boksen en mixed martial arts professioneel, Oklahoma City’s Rhodes looks to rebound on June 28 from his first blemish at the hands of unbeaten Sergey Lipinets. The 28-year-old recorded four victories in 2014 including triumphs over Miguel Angel Huerta and John Nater before fighting to a draw in 2015 with Jared Robinson in addition to the fight with Lipinets.
An undefeated fighter out of Wilmington, Delaware, Douglas impressed in the TOE-tot-teen DINSDAG main event in December 2015 when he defeated contender Frank De Alba in a step up fight. The 24-year-old had already beaten Daniel Attah in 2015 and previously took down veterans Anthony Napunyi, Jean Javier Sotelo and Osnel Charles and he will again fight strong competition as he seeks a world title shot in the near future.
Fighting out of Miami but originally from Cuba, Collado turned pro in 2008 and was victorious in his first 18 pro bouts before a decision loss in 2014. The 28-year-old owns victories over veterans Edgar Riovalle, Franklin Varela and Jose Saez and most recently stopped Gyci Lorenzo in February.
