Lee Baxter Promotions Card Postponed; McGuinness and Miljas to fight October 28
Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Oktober 25, 2016) – Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lee Baxter Promotions’ card scheduled for Donderdag 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 Oktober 28 at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
A former NABA champion at 126, 130 en 135 pond, McGuinness signed with Lee Baxter Promotions in July. McGuinness, 23-0-1 (10 KO's), is fighting for the first since May 2015 and meets Noel Rincon, 18-9-1 (10 KO's), of Mexico over eight rounds. Met een overwinning, 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 een vier ronder.
“”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 GarciaNovember 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. Most importantly, we will continue to grow and invest in our fighters while providing quality events in Canada.”
