Light heavyweight contenders to battle in Australia

It will be Green vs. Siaca on May 30th

Press Release: Australia's Danny Green and Puerto Rico’s Manny Siaca will face each other in a light heavyweight contest on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 at Challenge Stadium in Perth, Australia. In what promises to be one of his toughest bouts yet, Green 23-3 (21 KOs) tackles Siaca, 20-6 (18 KO’s), who has fought for world title belts on six occasions. In Australia, Siaca is  well known for sending Anthony Mundine to the canvas and taking away his WBA super middleweight regular title in May 2004. Green’s recent move to light heavy has proven to be a successful one with wins over fellow Australians Jason Delisle and Paul Murdoch over the past six months. The show also will feature local fighters Daniel Kickett, Robbie Bryant and Adam Wills as well as rising interstate star Daniel Geale and the controversial Jonathon Hopoate. Tickets will be available starting on Thursday through Tickemaster7 outlets, www.ticketmaster.com.au and telephone 136100.
