Edited Press Release:  Cruiserweight Bobby Gunn, 15-2, has cracked the WBO’s July 2006 rankings at #15 in the world, but he intends to fight for another organization’s title next, the lightly regarded IBA title, against  Shannon Landberg on September 16, 12006. Gunn’s promoter, Joe “Mack” McEwen of Rock Solid Boxing commented, “We appreciate and respect the WBO and applaud their recognition of Bobby Gunn.  We are totally focused on the upcoming IBA world title fight against Shannon Landberg, but it is always nice to take a moment and realize all of Team Gunn’s efforts and hard work are finally coming to fruition.” Landberg is 58-11-3 and is coming off a loss to 47-year old Thomas Hearns in February. Gunn’s last fight was awash in controversy as both he and Shelby Gross visited the canvas multiple times but the bout was eventually ruled a no contest. Gunn’s father, who goes by the moniker Yogi had this to say, “Bobby is very thankful and grateful for the top 15 ranking by the WBO. We have roots and a following in Europe and we look forward to future fights across the pond.  However, Bobby is really only focused on September 16, Shannon Landberg and the IBA world championship.  This opportunity that Rock Solid Boxing has presented to my boy is by far the biggest fight of his career.  He is looking great in the gym and Joe Grier is training Bobby like a madman!  I have never seen Bobby so sharp.  He is ready and could fight tomorrow.”
