New Main Event in Philly

Press Release: Junior welterweight Chad Brisson, of Winnipeg, makes his first start in twelve months when he boxes veteran Russell Stoner Jones in the scheduled 10-round main event Friday, September 29, 2006 at the New Alhambra in South Philadelphia.The Brisson-Jones match replaces the middleweight main event featuring Elvin Ayala vs. Darnell Boone.  Ayala “decided to take some time off from boxing.” Brisson, 20-2 with 12 KOs, defeated world-rated Damien Fuller in his pro debut and also has beaten Chucky T in 2005. In his last fight in September 2005, Brisson stopped Mexican veteran Pedro Garcia in five rounds.  Personal issues have sidelined him since then but he’s back in Broomall, PA, working with trainer Marty Feldman. Jones is originally from Ghana but came to the United States in 1999.  He has boxed some of the best lightweights and junior welterweights around, including Lamont Pearson, Daniel Attah, Phillip N’dou and former world champs Tracy Harris Patterson and Julio Diaz.  A pro since 1994, Jones has a 19-14 record, 14 K0s. CN8 will televise the Brisson-Jones fight on delay (Oct. 7 at 7 pm) to more than seven million homes from Maine to Maryland.  Tickets are on sale by calling 215-765-0922 or at www.peltzboxing.com.
