Tony Luis to Face Derry Matthews for World Championship this Saturday in England; Ismael Barroso now Fighting Ira Terry on CBS in Hinckley, М.Н. Овој петок

Lack of time to obtain proper visas has forced the necessity for two of Greg Cohen Promotions’ (GCP) fighters to switch places on short notice for this weekend.

На Сабота, Април 18, Корнвол, Ontario’s Tony “Молња” Луис (19-2, 7 КО) will now face UK veteran Derry Matthews (37-9-2, 20 КО) for the Interim WBA Lightweight Championship at the Echo Arena in Matthews’ hometown of Liverpool, Англија, as the main event of a night of boxing presented by Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.

Luis was originally scheduled to face Мемфис, Тенеси, ветеран Ира Тери (26-13, 16 КО) in the televised co-feature of the “Првенство во бокс на КБС Спорт мрежа” Настанот, presented by Greg Cohen Promotions in association with Adam Wilcock’s Fight Card Promotions and produced by David Schuster’s Winner Take All Productions onПеток, Април 17, од Гранд Казино Хинкли во Хинкли, Минесота.

Unbeaten Venezuelan slugger Ismael Barroso (17-0-2, 16 КО), who was originally scheduled to face Matthews, was unable to obtain the proper visas in time to fight on such short notice in England. He will now take Luis’ place in Hinckley and will take on Terry in an eight-round attraction овој петок.

“It worked out well for everyone,” изјави Грег Коен. “Tony Luis was high enough in the ratings and ready to fight, so he’s one of the few fighters in the world who could have stepped into this important fight on such short notice. And fortunately, he is a GCP fighter as well, so we made it happen quickly and he is on his way to the UK as we speak. Tony gets his dream shot at a world championship and the fans in Hinckley, and on CBS Sports Network, will get their first look at one of the most fearsome punchers in boxing, Исмаил Баросо. So it seems that everyone wins in this unique situation.”
