Henry Coyle graduates to eight rounders

Press Release: Henry Coyle will battle veteran Ben Aragon in an eight-round junior middleweight bout on Friday, May 9, 2008 at Cicero Stadium near Chicago. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling the 8 Count Productions box office at 312-226-5800. Said promoter Dominic Pesoli, “Chicago fight fans, particularly the Irish have really taken a liking to Henry. He’s a tough kid who loves to trade in the middle of the ring. This is his first eight rounder.” Coyle, 6-1 with 6 KOs, made his pro debut with a first round knockout of Jason Collazo at Madison Square Garden on March 16, 2007 at a huge New York City St. Patrick’s Day Celebration card headlined by Irish boxing star John Duddy. Aragon, 7-9-2 with 5 KOs, has already had a busy 2008 having fought three times with a 1-1-1 record.  The main event that night features Miguel Hernandez in a crosstown showdown against fellow Chicagoan Derrick Findley in a middleweight bout.
