Lee Baxter Promotions Card Postponed; McGuinness and Miljas to fight October 28
Τορόντο, Οντάριο, Καναδάς (Οκτώβριος 25, 2016) – Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lee Baxter Promotions’ card scheduled for Πέμπτη evening at the Powerade Center in Brampton, Ontario has been postponed until further notice.
Two of Baxter’s fighters scheduled to appear on that card, 130 pound contender Logan “Cotton” McGuinness and heavyweight prospect Mladen “Monster” Miljas, will now fight Οκτώβριος 28 at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino in Calgary, Αλμπέρτα, Καναδάς.
A former NABA champion at 126, 130 και 135 λίρες, McGuinness signed with Lee Baxter Promotions in July. McGuinness, 23-0-1 (10 KO του), is fighting for the first since May 2015 and meets Noel Rincon, 18-9-1 (10 KO του), of Mexico over eight rounds. With a victory, the 29-year-old Ontario native hopes to get back in the mix.
Known as “Monster” due to his crushing power and impressive physical stature, Miljas looks to go 2-0 as a pro when he challenges Mexican Adrian Garcia, 1-1 (1 KO), in a four rounder.
“”I’m glad I was able to keep Logan and Mladen fighting even after our card was postponed,” said Lee Baxter. “The card will be rescheduled in the near future but in the meantime it’s important to keep my fighters busy. Logan’s been very sharp in training and Mladen has the look of a good heavyweight prospect based on what we saw in his pro debut.”
Baxter, who is growing his stable of talented boxers, also looks forward to the career changing opportunity his fighter Samuel Vargas has when he faces unbeaten Danny GarciaΝοέμβριος 12.
“We’ve got a lot of nice things on the horizon and I believe that Sammy is going to surprise a lot of people. His trainers know everything there is to be known about Garcia and Team Vargas was thrilled when we heard he accepted the fight.
I’ve also got Kane Heron returning from a few lingering injuries and he’ll be back by the end of the year. He is a truly special talent and one of boxing’s best kept secrets. Το πιο σημαντικό, we will continue to grow and invest in our fighters while providing quality events in Canada.”

There’s been a public demand for him to fight in Canada again since 18 of his professional matches have been here and we’re proud to be making this happen. I’m looking at having him potentially fight twice in 2016 and the people in Ontario are as excited to see him fight as he is to fight in front of them. The sky is definitely the limit with Logan!"
