Boxing Returns to Harrah’s Philadelphia
Chester, PA (August 27, 2015)–On Saturday night, September 19, boxing returns to Harrahs Philadelphia with a terrific card promoted by King’s Promotions.
In the main event, it will be a 6-round rematch of Super Lightweights when Antonio DuBose battles Jesus Lule.
DuBose and Lule fought to a 4-round draw on June 27 in Bethlehem, PA.
Dubose, 27 years-old of Philadelphia has a record of 7-0-1 with 2 knockouts.
Lule, 31 years-old of Fort Myers, Florida has a deceiving record of 7-13-1 with 1 knockout.
He has faced 8 undefeated fighters and is coming off a knockout loss to Mason Menard (29-1) on August 8 in Opelousas, Louisiana.
DuBose is ready to emphatically defeat Lule and erase anyone’s doubt’s who is the superior fighter.
“Everything is great and I am feeling good. I had a lot on my mind heading into the last fight. I wasn’t myself. I noticed that I was just running at him and not doing the things that got me to the seven wins. I was fighting his fight. This fight, I will be myself and that means being more elusive and throwing more combinations,” said DuBose.
DuBose promises a much better performance and is motivated for his rematch.
“I was upset by the draw and it motivates me.”
He isn’t taking much from the first fight and will look to fight a complete fight.
“I remember a few things from the first fight that I have to correct. You will see a different Antonio DuBose on Saturday night.”
This bout will be Dubose’s first six round bout and he is eager at the opportunity.
“I feel six rounds will be better I can relax and box more. I am ready for Saturday night and I am happy to be headlining a great show.”

PHILADELPHIA BOXING LEGEND JOE FRAZIER STATUE TO BE UNVEILED AT XFINITY LIVE! ON SEPTEMBER 12
TWEET IT: Philadelphia Boxing Legend Joe Frazier statue to be unveiled at @XFINITYlive on
Sept 12 during free open-to-the public ceremony #JoeFrazierDay
Statue artist Stephen Layne recreated Frazier in mid-punch, depicting the moment after Frazier landed the punch that knocked down Muhammad Ali in the 15th round, on March 8, 1971. Frazier was the first fighter to defeat Ali.
“I found my inspiration in a photo of Frazier flooring Ali with his powerful left hook,” Layne said. “The moment captured in the sculpture reflects the work ethic of Frazier and the city he called home.”
Frazier won the 1964 Olympic gold medal in Tokyo and later finished with a professional record of 32-4-1, with 27 knockouts. Two of the losses were epic rematches with Ali, including the “Thrilla in Manila” in 1975. Frazier also participated in the first sporting event ever at the Spectrum, on October 17, 1967, winning with a knockout over Tony Doyle.
The City of Philadelphia commissioned Layne as the sculptor of the Joe Frazier Memorial Statue. He began with a 12-foot tall clay model, and upon approval, constructed a silicone mold. He then began the highly skilled bronze foundry work, finishing the over 1,200-pound bronze monument in 14-months. The process was proudly produced, created and constructed in the United States by Stratton Sculpture Studios of Philadelphia.
The new Frazier statue joins five other iconic Philadelphia sports moments, including Philadelphia Flyers’ Gary Dornhoefer’s overtime playoff goal against the Minnesota North Stars in 1973; longtime Flyers’ good luck charm Kate Smith singing her iconic version of God Bless America; 76ers legend Julius Erving taking a signature shot, Flyers’ greats Bobby Clarke and Bernie Parent hosting the Stanley Cup commemorating of the team’s 1974 and 1975 championships, and Flyers all-time winningest coach Fred Shero.
