Johanneson gets chance to avenge 2004 loss

Press Release: Carl Johanneson is looking for revenge on July 13, 2007 when he steps into a Barnsley, UK ring with Leva Kirakosyan, who inflicted a 2004 loss on Johanneson's record. Johanneson first stepped up against the formidable Armenian in December 2004 and Kirakosyan, 25-4, knocked Johanneson out in the first round. Johanneson, 26-2, knows he could have taken an easier route but he has asked promoter Frank Maloney for the opportunity to settle the score. “I have never been so up for a fight before,” Johanneson said of this super featherweight clash. “This fight will not be for the weak hearted. One of us will be asleep on the canvas before the fight is over.” Frank Maloney Promotions presents "The Ultimate Quest for Revenge" at the Barnsley Metrodome on July 13, 2007. Tickets are available at www.frankmaloney.com or by calling 0871 226 1508. The fight is also televised live on Sky TV.
