Tacoma to host Ellis-Lubwama on Saturday!

Press Release: Veteran Kenny Ellis (34-6-2, 22 KOs) will venture back into the ring at the Emerald Queen Casino this Saturday, June 25th at the I-5 showroom in Tacoma, Washington. The first bout is scheduled for 7:30 pm. Ellis will face James Lubwama (16-2, 9 KOs) from Florida. Ellis, still fueled from his recent sixth-round TKO of Aaron Norwood (21-6-2), is ready for action.  “Kenny will be busy,” said promoter Brian Halquist. “We are sending ratings packages out to all of the major sanctioning bodies after this fight and are looking for a money fight, a fight that will get Kenny back in the world ratings,” Halquist said. This additional incentive promises the energy and tenacity of any high-stakes fight.  Also on the card will be Walter “2 guns” Wright (6-1). This will be Wright’s third fight in six weeks. “Walter is always on weight, always training and eager to go, and he will get big opportunities because of it,” Halquist commented when asked about Wright’s future prospects. Wright will face Jerome Elder (9-7) of Indianapolis, Indiana.
