Press Release: DiBella Entertainment has signed Ronald Hearns, (10-0, 8 KOs), son of legendary Thomas “Hit Man” Hearns, to an exclusive promotional agreement. “I’m thrilled to be promoting Ronald Hearns,” said DBE president Lou DiBella.  “Ronald didn’t start fighting until after he graduated from college. He’s a bright, well educated family man.  He’s also a terrific young athlete from Detroit named Hearns.  Ronald needs frequent activity and some time to learn.  DiBella Entertainment will provide him with both and we believe that in a short time the boxing world will know Ronald Hearns, the person and the championship caliber fighter.” Hearns, the undefeated Motor City native, will see action in an six-round middleweight affair, on the Jermain Taylor vs. Kassim Ouma card set for December 9, 2006 at Alltel Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas. “I am very pleased my son has signed with DiBella Entertainment,” said Thomas Hearns. “Ronald needs to gain exposure as he climbs his way through the ranks of the fight game.  Being with DBE will give him the opportunity to do that.”  Two of Hearns' last three triumphs have come by way of TKO. On November 25th 2006 he scored a first round TKO of Jeffrey Osborne, Jr. at the Little River Casino and Resort in Manistee, Michigan. He looks to continue his rise on December 9th when he makes his DiBella Entertainment debut. Tickets are available through Alltel Arena Box Office and all Ticketmaster Outlets (501-975-7575).
