Shiya amazwana
The incredible rebirth of Albany, New York’s Mikey “Baby Face” Faragon (19-1, 9 Kos) is complete and he will return to action in a six-rounder tonight, Friday, August 9, at a GCP and Rapacz Boxing show at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota against Missouri’s Demetrius Wilson.


Faragon was once a super lightweight prospect touted as one of the most promising young fighters to ever come out of the Capital Region, but a severe foot injury forced him out of boxing five years ago.


During his extended recovery, which included several painful surgeries, 32-year-old Faragon fell into depression and unhealthy living and gained a great deal of weight.


With his mobility now restored, Faragon challenged himself to get back in shape and said he would fight again if he could. Pictured above, kwesokudla, Faragon is back in fighting shape and, against Wilson, will be looking to gauge how much of that immense potential he still has.

Despite the opponent change on short notice, he handled it the way a future champion should.

Promoter Greg Cohen says his Atlanta-based cruiserweight Brian “The Bigg Risk” Howard will have to be extremely careful when he fights in the main event lokhu ngoMgqibelo ebusuku (October 1) at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota.
Howard (11-1, 9 Kos) will face dangerous local veteran Phil “The Drill” Williams (15-8-2, 14 Kos) in a potentially dangerous eight-round showdown.

Able to switch hit from his southpaw stance to orthodox several times during a fight, Williams has also fought to draws with well-known veterans Caleb Truax and Derrick Findley.

“He’s ready for another ‘Bigg Risk’,” wathi Cohen. “Don’t forget, Brian can punch too. He has prepared for this dangerous challenge and should be ready, even if the best version of Phil Williams shows up ngomgqibelo. Brian is a talented fighter and we have all confidence he will prevail.”
