Telefutura’s Solo Boxeo To Televise Live

 

LOS ANGELES – It’s the big battle before the huge war. On the eve of Ricky Hatton’s WBC and Ring

Magazine welterweight championship showdown against Floyd Mayweather Saturday night, his

countrymen will be fighting in force Friday night against hard-nosed battlers from around the world on a card

aptly titled “BRITISH INVASION: THE U.K. VS. THE WORLD,” at the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las

Vegas and televised live across the United States on Telefutura’s Solo Boxeo (9 p.m. ET/PT).

 

In the televised co-main event, presented by Golden Boy Promotions, undefeated Manchester native John

Murray (21-0 12 KOs) fights in a 10-round lightweight bout against Mexico’s hard-hitting Miguel Munguia

(16-9, 13 KOs) that should be a barnburner. Additional U.K. stalwarts in action on this night of world-class

professional boxing will include unbeaten Scottish rising star Craig McEwan (8-0, 6 KOs) in an eight-round

middleweight bout against Los Mochis, Mexico’s Alfredo Contreras (6-2-1, 1 KO); Salford lightweight Lee

Meager (21-2-1, 8 KOs) who will step in with Mexico City’s Jose Gonzalez (14-4, 6 KOs); Walsall’s Martin

Gethin (10-0-1, 4 KOs), who will take on Nicaragua’s Ramiro Rivera (4-5, 3 KOs); London middleweight

Jimmy Campbell (10-1, 7 KOs) who will battle New Jersey’s Richard Pierson (5-1, 3 KOs) in a six

rounder; and Wolverhampton’s Dean Harrison (9-0, 1 KO), who will match wits and fists with the Dominican

Republic’s Ramon Guevara (8-13-2, 6 KOs).

 

In the other televised co-main event 160-pound contenders Bronco McKart and Enrique Ornelas revisit

their exciting battle from this past August in a 12-round rematch for the North American Boxing Federation

(NABF) middleweight crown. McKart won their first fight via a razor-thin split decision. Also in action will be

highly regarded U.S. amateur star Karl Dargan making his pro debut against Las Vegan Roberto Norris

(1-0).
