Michael Walker to fight in Illinois

Press Release: Undefeated middleweight Michael Walker has been added to 8 Count Productions' card set for Friday, October 20, 2006 at Cicero Stadium in Illinois. Walker, a former Chicagoland amateur standout, is riding a six-bout winning streak following his draw with Jimmy Gonzalez on July 15, 2005 at the Aragon Ballroom. The draw is the only blemish on his otherwise perfect record of 13-0-1(8 KOs).   Said 8 Count president Dominic Pesoli, "Walker's a real warrior, his fight with Jimmy had our fans on their feet for the duration of the bout, cheering on both guys. We're very happy to bring him back for our fans to get another viewing." Walker, whose opponent will be announced soon, is promoted by Octavius James of One in a Million, Inc. headquartered in Merrillville, Indiana.
