Lewiston, Maine (Qershor 7, 2016) – In an international boxing match-up, Ireland’s undefeated Steve Collins, Jr. (7-0-1, 3 KO) will face his stiffest test yet as a pro when he takes on Mexico’s Jose Humberto Corral (19-21, 12 KO) in a six-round cruiserweight fight on Qershor 18, 2016 at The Androscoggin Bank Colisée. The bout will take place as part of New England Fights’ (NEF) Ngjarja e ardhshme “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.

 

Collins, Jr., the son of former world champion and Irish boxing legendThe Celtic WarriorSteve Collins (36-3, 21 KO), will be fighting in the United States for the third consecutive time after having each of his first six fights in Ireland and Great Britain.

 

I’m happy to be back over in the States fighting,” said Collins, Jr. “The crowd and the fans have really seemed to enjoy my fighting and style that I bring to the boxing world. I’ve been training hard at the Celtic Warriors Gym here in Ireland, and I’m looking forward to putting my knowledge to use in the ring. My next opponent has got a lot of fights under his belt, but I’m looking forward to giving him another loss.

 

Jose Humberto Corral is a former amateur standout on the Mexican national team who has made a career as a pro as a journeyman giving solid tests to future world champions like Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin and regional prospects like Chris Traietti, Vinnie Carita and Paul Gonsalves.

 

I’m looking forward to the opportunity to fight Steve Collins in Maine,” said Corral recently through a translator. “Sure he’s an undefeated prospect and son of a former world champion, but I’ve got way more ring experience, and you can’t teach that. If I had a peso for every time I got beat up by the son of a former world champion, I would have zero pesos. I look forward to showcasing my skills in the same building Muhammad Ali fought in and leaving with all the American boxing fans looking forward to me coming back.

 

Collins Jr. is promoted by Murphy’s Boxing USA, a boxing organization headed by Ken Casey of the popular rock band The Dropkick Murphys who are well known for hit songs likeI’m Shipping up to Boston,” “The State of Massachusetts” dhe “Skinhead on the MBTA.

He’s proven that he can step out of his father’s shadow and legacy, and make a career and name for himself. It’s going to be interesting to see where he ends up in another year from now, but we’re all excited to be part of his journey, and seeing what Steve Jr. can do.
