Press Release: “I’ve paid my dues and fought my way here,” said heavyweight Roman Greenberg (23-0, 16 KOs), who will make a rare American appearance when he faces Steve Pannell (34-10, 28 KOs) at the Seminole Hard Rock Live Arena on December 9, 2006. “Now I’m ready to make my move on the top fighters in the division in 2007, and I’m going to end the year with a bold statement by knocking out Steve Pannell.” Born in Russia, the well-traveled Greenberg grew up in Israel and currently makes his home in England. He hasn’t forgotten his roots though, and the former member of the Israeli military makes frequent visits back home, even though he has narrowly escaped bombings that shook the area where he was staying this year. Video of Greenberg scoring a sixth-round knockout over Russia’s Alexei Varakin on November 4th in Monte Carlo is available at http://www.warriorsboxing.com/scripts/video/greenberg.html. Featured on the December 9th show will be ex-heavyweight champion Michael Moorer against Cliff Couser, and Oliver McCall’s intriguing clash with Yanqui Diaz. The Events InDemand pay-per-view broadcast begins at 9pm ET / PT.
