Jirov to see action this weekend

Press Release: Former IBF cruiserweight champion and 1996 Olympic gold medalist Vassiliy “The Tiger” Jirov meets battle-tested veteran Kenny “The Raven” Craven (28-18, 23 KOs) in the ten-round main event on the “Thriller On The River” show at 4 Bears Casino in New Town, North Dakota. Jirov (36-3-1, 30 KOs) hopes that an impressive victory will position him for a world title shot, possibly against WBA title-holder Virgil “Quicksilver” Hill. Also on the show Shawn “The Sioux Warrior” Hawk (14-0-1, 12 KOs), from South Dakota, faces Roy “Bo” Skinner (11-4-2, 7 KOs) in the eight-round heavyweight co-feature. Undefeated New Jersey light heavyweight Chuck “The Professor” Mussachio (10, 5 KOs), former two-time National Collegiate Boxing Association, suffered a broken nose sparring last week and his fight against Pharoah “The Quiet Storm” Turner (9-0, 2 KOs) has been cancelled. Tickets are on sale and available exclusively at the 4 Bears Box Office. Call 800.294.5454 or go on line at www.4bearscasino.com.
