Greenburg returns June 11

PRESS RELEASE: Heavyweight prospect Roman Greenberg (18-0, 13 KOs) headlines a June 11th pro boxing show at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, promoted by Guilty Boxing in association with Fight Academy, Infox Promotions and World Promotions.
 
Unbeaten powerhouse Greenberg, fighting out of England via Israel, is a gifted, 6-3 sharpshooter. The 22-year-old boxer faces Josh "The Griz" Gutcher (17-3, 13 KOs), of Des Moines (IA), in the 10-round main event.

"Greenberg is a highly-touted, popular up-and-coming fighter who'll be tested by Josh Gutcher," Guilty vice president Jay Hassman said. "We have a Ukrainian invasion on this card. The co-feature promises to be very entertaining and we have competitive supportive bouts."

Greenberg holds a victory against Julius Francis (WDEC10, Dec. 10, 2004), who defeated Mike Tyson victor Danny Williams and also has been in the ring against some of the world's best heavyweights including Tyson, Vitali Klitschko, John Ruiz, Zeljko Mavrovic, Oleg Maskaev and Sinan Samil Sam.

Ukrainian light heavyweight champion Yuri Barash'yan (16-2, 11 KOs), rated No. 15 by the European Boxing Union, takes on dangerous Jesus Ruis (18-4, 16 KOs), of Las Vegas, in a sensational 10-round co-feature.

The undercard bouts include Ukrainanian light heavyweights Viatcheslav Uzelkov (3-0, 3 KOs) versus Nakhnud Otzhanov (3-1, 3 KOs), unbeaten Ukrainaian super middleweight Viktor Zinoviev (5-0, 3 KOs) against Moses Matovu, of Las Vegas, and three other bouts. All fighters and matches are subject to change.

Tickets are priced at $40 and $25. The first bout starts at 7 PM. Call 630.258.8249 for more information.

The June 11th show, featuring Greenberg-Gutcher, will be streamed on Secondsout.com (subscription basis required), as well as broadcast on Eurosport Television throughout Europe and Ukranian Television.
