KO King Wilson willing to step in and face WBO Boss Cruiserweight knockout artist Darnell “Ding-a-Ling Man” Wilson (22-5, 19 KOs) is publicly inviting WBO Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Maccarinelli to prove to the world he is truly “in it for the glory” by facing him.

| McBride focused on Golota VERO BEACH, Florida (October 1, 2007) – Irish heavyweight champion Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride has broken his Vero Beach (FL) training camp and arrived today (Monday, Oct. 1) in New York City for his crossroads fight Saturday night against Andrew Golota at Madison Square Garden. McBride (34-5-1, 29 KOs), born in Clones and fighting out of Boston, landed in the Big Apple, where he will be fighting for the first time, along with his new manager, Jerry “Mighty” Quinn, and new trainer, former 2-time world champion James “Buddy” McGirt.

| CORONA , Calif. (Oct. 4, 2007) – Yonnhy Perez fights better than he spells. The talented, undefeated bantamweight with the unusually spelled first name – it is pronounced “Johnny” – improved to 14-0 with 11 knockouts with a dominant, impressive fourth-round stoppage over comebacking Alexander Fedorov (18-4-1, 10 KOs) Friday on “ShoBox: The New Generation.’’ In the co-feature, former amateur champion and 2004 United States Olympian, promising Mickey Bey Jr. (9-0, six KOs), registered two knockdowns en route to scoring a second-round knockout over Castulo Gonzalez (9-4, three KOs). The doubleheader, held at an outdoor venue at Omega Products International, was promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, in association with Thompson Boxing Promotions. It aired on SHOWTIME at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast). The five-foot-seven-inch Perez, 28, of Santa Fe Springs , Calif. , by way of Cartagena , Colombia , is big for a bantamweight and his size, strength and punching power were too much for Fedorov, who also had to deal with jet lag after arriving in the United States seven days ago from his native Russia.
