Press Release: Andrey Tsurkan will face hard-punching Thomas Davis on December 8, 2006 at the Paradise Theater in the Bronx, NY. Davis is remembered for his devastating first round knockout of world contender Kendall Holt, Holt's only defeat. Tsurkan (24-2, 15 KOs) is coming off the most important victory of his career, a regional title-winning TKO 5 over Hector Camacho Jr.  "We wanted to give the fans an intriguing match-up for our first show at this beautiful venue and Tsurkan- Davis is just the fight" said promoter Joe DeGuardia. "Andrey's pressure is relentless and his chin is among the best in boxing, but we'll see if it can stand up to Davis' power. Davis has a habit of upsetting the best laid plans of many a contender.
