________________________________________________

NEW YORK- For Nate Campbell, there's only one reason to fight - to become a world champion. On

Friday, April 7th, in a bout to be held at the Florida State Farigrounds Entertainment Hall in Tampa, Florida,

"The Galaxxy Warrior" moves one step closer to fulfilling that dream when he faces unbeaten and highly

regarded Isaac Hlatshwayo in a 12 round IBF lightweight title elimination bout. This exciting matchup, part

of a night of world-class boxing action presented by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and One Punch

Productions, will be televised live by ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights beginning at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.

Doors open at 6:00pm, and the first bell sounds at 6:45pm.

A native of Talahassee, Florida, number six ranked contender Nate ‘The Galaxxy Warrior’ Campbell (28-4-1,

24 KOs) is one of the sport’s most exciting fighters as well as an electrifying personality outside the ring.

Fresh off back-to-back PPV stoppages of Francisco Olvera and top prospect Kid Diamond, Campbell has

shown the boxing world that the 135-pound weight class is his true home and the division where he will make

his mark as one of the sport’s best.

Isaac ‘The Angel’ Hlatshwayo (23-0, 9 KOs) may not be a household name to United States fight fans, as all

but two of his 23 bouts were held in his native South Africa, but boxing insiders are well aware of the Shisasi

warrior, who holds wins over world-class foes such as Cassius Baloyi and Phillip N’Dou. Ranked fourth in

the world in the lightweight division, Hlatshwayo scored a dominating 12 round decision win over former world

title challenger Aldo Rios in his last bout.

Tickets for Campbell vs. Hlatshwayo are priced at $20, $40, $75, and $125, and are available at all

Ticketmaster locations www.ticketmaster.com, and the Florida State Fairgrounds Box Office at

813-621-7821.
