PRESS RELEASE: The February 25th broadcast of Guilty Boxing’s weekly boxing series, “Guilty Fight Night,” promises to be a knockout with a powerful one-two punch featuring a pair of twelve-round world-class fights. Daniel “El Olympico” Reyes (34-2-1, 29 KOs) and Omar “Lobito” Soto (13-2-1, 10 KOs) square-off in an IBF 105-pound title elimination match.  Reyes is rated #7 in the world by Boxingtalk. On the same card [venue not mentioned in press release], Yusef Mack (17-0-2, 11 KOs) makes the first defense of his regional title against Richard “The Alien” Grant (16-10-1, 3 KOs).

The Feb. 25 “Guilty Fight Night” show is the first promoted by Guilty Boxing, Inc. and Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (CES) since the two companies joined forces. It’ll be broadcast to more than 60 million households all over the world on America One, Fox Sports International, BEN Television, Urban American Television and other broadcast and cable outlets.

“This show is exactly what we envisioned teaming up with Jimmy Burchfield and CES,” Guilty Boxing Vice President Jay Hassman said. “Jimmy put this terrific fight together between Mack and Grant to go with our IBF 105-pound title elimination match between Reyes and Soto. How many televised boxing shows have two world-class fights like this?“

Reyes lost his IBF 105-pound title last September to Muhammad Rachman (48-7-3) by split decision. “El Olympico,” fighting out of Columbia, is rated No. 3 by the IBF (No. 1 & 2 are unrated) and he faces one of the hottest minimumweight prospects in the world, No. 10 rated Soto. The 24-year-old Soto, rated No. 10 by the IBF, is another in the long line of rugged Mexican fighters. The Reyes-Soto winner gets a title shot against Rachman.

Mack captured the USBA belt last October with an eighth-round TKO of Shannon Miller. Mack, fighting out of Philadelphia, is rated No. 14 by the IBF. Grant is one of the most colorful fighters in the world. The native of Jamaica, now living in Brooklyn, extended current IBF super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy 12 rounds in their July 2003 fight.  Grant holds two wins against James Butler, as well as victories against Vitali Kopitko and Kevin Pompey. He also has been in with some of the real iron of the super middleweight division including Scott “The Sandman” Pemberton, Eric Harding, and Kabary Salem.

“This is an example of what two great companies can do together and it’s only the beginning,” CES president Jimmy Burchfield explained. “A show like this may cost more, but this is clearly the type shows we want to promote together on a regular basis. Either of these fights is better than the main event you watch on just about any other network.”
