PRESENTS WORLD CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING
‘WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE’
AT THE PEARL AT PALMS CASINO RESORT
Main bout features former World Champion Anthony “The Man” Mundine vs. former WBO and IBA Light Middleweight Champion Bronco “Superman” McKart
Millennium Events, Inc., in association with Wealth TV, proudly presents ‘When Worlds Collide’ – World Class Championship boxing. The bouts are scheduled to take place July 14, 2012 at 6 p.m. inside the award-winning Pearl inside Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The prestigious event promises to deliver outstandingly exhilarating match-ups to the fans and millions of television viewers worldwide as it will feature some of the world’s premium boxers of our era competing at their best.
In the main event, the former two-time World Champion Anthony “The Man” Mundine (43-4-0) will take on former WBO and IBA Light Middleweight Champion, Bronco “Superman” McKart (54-9-1) in a ten round bout. In the clash of “The Man” vs. “Superman” the winner will surely be rewarded with another opportunity to fight for a World Title or a huge marquee fight in the next outing. Despite enjoying the status as the most popular and recognized Australian boxer today, this will be Mundine’s first USA appearance as he endeavors to win over American fans with his debut performance. However, there will be no shortage of support from his loyal fans at ringside, possibly even from his celebrity fans ready to cheer their hero to a win on American soil.
Hailing from Sydney, Down Under Anthony “The Man” Mundine has bravely called out to boxing’s elite names, including Floyd Mayweather, and the rest of the highly rated Champions. He believes that coming to Mayweather’s back yard and producing an impressive win is exactly what he needs to deserve the right for a mega fight with Mayweather.
Bronco “Superman” McKart on the other hand is determined and hungry to fulfill his dream of winning a third World Title honor. He is coming off of three solid wins and feels ready for whatever Mundine has to offer. Without a doubt, there will be fireworks when these two athletes collide.
In the co-main feature, Russia’s best light heavyweight boxer, WBO International Champion, WBO #1 and IBF#5 rated Dmitry Sukhotsky will be making his USA debut against the dangerous Cornelius “Da Beast” White (19-1-0) from Houston, Texas for the IBF International Light-Heavyweight Title in a twelve round bout. Russia vs. USA, knock out artist vs. big puncher – this bout promises to have all the ingredients of a true boxing fan’s Championship fight. Both of the combatants are big punchers and have compiled an impressive total of twenty nine knockouts between them. They will be expected to come out with bombing raids from the outset as the winner of this contest should solidify the World #1 ranking and mandatory obligation to fight for a World Title.
In a special Heavyweight attraction scheduled for eight rounds, the hard hitting sensation Olanrewaju “God’s Power” Durodola (9-0-0) formerly from Nigeria now calling Kansas his home will step into a room. Given that he has stopped eight out of his nine previous opponents inside the distance and seven of those inside the first round, he has been compared by some critics and fans to a young “Iron” Mike Tyson.
His opponent will be the tough and ever exciting Henry Namauu (10-4-0) from Las Vegas, Nevada. This will be the toughest test for Duradola as he will learn if he has what it takes against the battle tested Namauu to move to the next level.
The undercard bouts will feature upcoming boxers and local favorites from the West Coast and Las Vegas area.
In a highly anticipated rematch of Light-Flyweights, Edwin Reyes will take on Yosigey Ramirez. In their last encounter this past April, they fought to an exciting draw and received a standing ovation from the fans at ringside.
