Idahoan is Keene on fighting Hill!

Press Release: Idaho hero Kenny “The Emmett Eliminator” Keene is on the verge the most significant boxing event in Idaho history if he can defeat “King” Arthur Williams (42-14-1, 29 KOs) on July 29, 2006 in a ten-round cruiserweight bout at the Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho. Keene (51-3, 28 KOs) thinks a win over Wiliams gives him legitimate shot at a title fight later this year against WBA regular cruiserweight champion Virgil “Quicksilver” Hill (50-5, 23 KOs). The opportunity is contingent upon Keene defeating Williams the  “Hold Nothing Back!” pay-per-view show, headlined by the return of five-time world champion Roy Jones, Jr. challenging Prince Badi “The Boxing Prince” Ajamu. Hill, who lives in North Dakota, will be at ringside  29 as a PPV broadcast color commentator.  “Keene is poised to get his dream match against Hill,” Director of Operations Ritch Danner said, “but first he has to get past a tough opponent July 29th in ‘King’ Arthur Williams. “Kenny says he wants to fight his last fight against Hill in Boise; Hill wants the fight at his home in North Dakota. Hill-Keene, if Williams doesn’t become the spoiler, will all come down to economics in terms of where it’ll be held. We’ll find out July 29th if Boise, all of Idaho, will support Hill-Keene based on the turnout.”
