NEW YORK (Aprili 8, 2015) – Top 10 ranked super lightweight contender Amir mimi (16-0, 14 Kos) will aim to move one step closer to a world title opportunity when he makes his second start of 2015 against fellow power-puncher Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 Kos) in the 10-round co-feature of Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP ndondi juu ya Jumamosi, Aprili 18, LIVE on Showtime (10 p.m. NA/7 p.m. PT)

In the main event from StubHub Center katika Carson, Calif., Mexico Nyota Julio Cesar Chavez(48-1-1, 32 Kos) faces exciting brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 Kos), of Chicago by way of Poland, katika 12 mzima mwanga Heavyweight bout.

Moja ya ndondi ya kasi-kuongezeka matarajio, Imamu 24 mwenye umri wa miaka imekuwa ni pigo kwa 14 yake 16 professional opponents since turning pro in 2011. The Albany, N.Y., native is coming off a fifth-round TKO of Fidel Maldonado Jr., in a brawl on Jan. 17 on SHOWTIME that featured five total knockdowns. Nina, currently ranked No. 4 in the WBA and No. 7 katika WBC, touched the canvas for the first time in his career but bounced back and relied on his power to floor Maldonado a total of four times.

“I know Walter is a tough fighter, he comes forward and throws a lot of punches,” Imamu akasema. “But I will figure him out quickly once I get inside the ring. I’m working on a lot of different things for this training camp, lots of tricky moves that are going to excite the fans. It’s great to fight outdoors at StubHub Center and to showcase my talents on SHOWTIME. I’m here to entertain and prove I’m ready for that title shot.”

Castle (25-2, 18 Kos), ya Managua, Nicaragua, has won nine straight and KO’d six of his last seven opponents. The 26-year-old has fought mostly in Nicaragua and the only blemishes on his record are a split-decision loss in his pro debut and a controversial 2008 split decision on the road against former world champ Vicente Mosquera katika Panama. Castle, who has knocked out his last four opponents inside of four rounds, will make his second start in the U.S. after winning his American debut via first round TKO last October.

“Mimi nina msisimko sana kwa ajili ya vita hii. I’ve been training hard for months now and can’t wait for the bell to ring,” Castillo said. “Where I’m from we have a history of great warriors like Alexis Arguello and Rosendo Alvarez and on Aprili 18 I’m looking to moving one step closer to adding my name to that list. Imam may be undefeated but I’m ready for a war.”
