A. De Jesus to face R. Caballero in WBA 126-pound eliminator

Press Release: Featherweight Adailton De Jesus will participate in the WBA's annual KO Drugs show, which is scheduled for August 16, 2007 at the Figali Convention Center in Panama City, Panama. De Jesus will fight in a twelve-round WBA elimination bout against hometown hero Roinet Caballero. “This is a great event and we fully support the WBA in their efforts to knock out drugs,” said Leon Margules, Executive Director of Seminole Warriors Boxing, De Jesus' promoter. A native of Salvador, Brazil, 28-year old Adailton De Jesus (19-1, 17 KOs) is a knockout artist who has thrilled fight fans both at home and in the United States since turning pro in 2002. De Jesus suffered the only loss of his career via a decision to Marcos Ramirez in May. Boquete native Roinet Caballero (21-7-1, 16 KOs) had some rough times in his early years as a pro, but since 2005, he has been unstoppable, winning 12 fights in a row.
