Press Release: In his first ShoBox appearance on October 5, 2007, bantamweight Yonnhy Perez stopped Russian Alexander Fedorov in four rounds.  On Friday, September 5th, the Colombian contender returns to the series as the semi-main event with a bout against Mexican powerhouse Tomas Rojas at Buffalo Bill’s Star Arena in Primm, Nevada.

“I’m happy to be back on ShoBox and I hope to put on an even more impressive performance than I did last time,” said Perez.  “I’ve grown a lot as a fighter since the fight against Fedorov, and I think the viewers will be pleased with what they see on September 5th.”

Perez vs Rojas, a ten round bantamweight contest, is presented by Gary Shaw Promotions, in association with Thompson Boxing Promotions.  The bout will air live on Showtime’s ShoBox - The New Generation, beginning at 11pm ET / PT.
