Show still alive after losing Murder and Homicide

Press Release: The last thing a promoter wants to do is make changes to his scheduled card but Silverhawk World Championship Boxing and Ringsports Boxing were able to save Friday's installment of their "Ybor Main Events" series by responding quickly to the bad news yesterday that their top two
fights, featuring Aaron and Eric Mitchell, both fell out. Many promoters might have postponed or canceled the event but Silverhawk and Ringsports quickly put together a replacement card for Friday night.  The main event will now feature new heavyweight Sherman "The Caribbean Tank" Williams (29-10-2,
16 KOs) fighting Eark Ladson (12-9, 7 KOs). Williams scored a crowd- pleasing knockout of David Na'il last month. In co-feature matches,  middleweight Corey Johnson (32-2-2, 10 KOs) faces veteran Karl Willis (25-20-1, 17 KOs) and light heavyweight Rubin Williams (27-2, 16 KOs) takes on Richard Grant (19-12-1, 5 KOs). Three local fighters round out the card as cruiserweight Alfredo Escalera, Jr (8-0, 6 KOs) fights Julian Rogers (19-12, 5 KOs), Adrian Perez (2-1, 1 KO) takes on Ricky Thompson (0-1) in a super featherweight clash, and Antwone Smith meets Arnold Hill (1-0).
