Legendary boxing promoter Don King has put together "The Quest for the Best," set to take place on Saturday, April 27th at the Casino Miami Jai-Alai in Miami, Florida. King commented: "In the ring, there's no room for hesitation, only domination. 'The Quest for the Best' will be a testament to the relentless pursuit of greatness in the squared circle." Middleweight Ian Green (18-2, 12 KOs) has been a fan favorite at Casino Miami. In the main event, the New Jersey native aims to win his seventh straight as he takes on Ohio's Roy Barringer (10-4, 6 KOs). Miami's own Ahmed Elbiali (23-1, 18 KOs) will face California's Sergio Jimenez (13-0-1, 11 KOs) in a light heavyweight showdown. The third featured bout will see Pennsylvania lightweight Antonio Perez (9-0, 5 KOs) against Los Angeles’ Oscar Acevedo (9-1).
