Tonight: Mikey Faragon returns after five years out of the ring

Albany, New York’s Mikey “Baby Face” Faragon (19-1, 9 KOs) rehabilitation is complete and, after five years on the sideline, he will return to action in a six rounder tonight, Friday, August 9th, at a GCP and Rapacz Boxing show at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota against Missouri’s Demetrius Wilson (2-14-1). Faragon was once a highly touted prospect but a severe foot injury forced the junior wekterweight out of boxing five years ago. During his extended recovery, which included several painful surgeries, 32-year-old Faragon fell into depression and unhealthy living and gained a great deal of weight. With his mobility now restored, Faragon challenged himself to get back in shape and said he would fight again if he could. Faragon says is back in fighting shape and, against Wilson, will be looking to gauge how much of that immense potential he still has.
