Philadelphia (May 28,2015)--This Friday night at the Stadium Holiday
Inn in Philadelphia, King's Promotions presents a great night of boxing that will headlined by 10-round Jr. Lightweight bout between Frankie De Alba (15-1-2, 5 KO's) and Bernardo Gomez Uribe (14-3, 10 KO's).

De Alba of Reading, PA has been one of the hottest fighters on the East Coast as he has won 13 straight bouts and is unbeaten since dropping his professional debut in 2011.

The 27 year-old is coming into his own and has been training hard in preparation for this bout against Uribe.

"Training has been great. I feel 100% and this truly has been one of the best camps I have ever had. I really feel like I am in the best shape in my career," said De Alba.

Like two of his last three opponents, Jose Bustos and Pablo Batres, Uribe is a tough yet unknown fighter from Mexico who sports a solid record.

"He is a unknown guy with a decent record. Besides that, I don't know much about him but that doesn't matter as I train for any style that he may bring."

De Alba is on the cusp of some big fights in the Jr. Lightweight division and he can't look past Uribe to get those opportunities.

"After this fight, I am ready for anybody they put in front of me."

De Alba, who works in an warehouse foundry, knows that the next year is a moving year and those big fights are on the horizon.

"I know that in the next fight or two, I will be put in against another top prospect and I am confident that I have what it takes to come through against anybody. I am excited to be in the main event in Philadelphia. This is my first fight here and I am ready to put on a good show."

In an 8-round bout, Steve Upsher Chambers (24-4-1, 6 KO's) of Philadelphia will fight Alejandro Rodriguez (22-16-1, 8 KO's) of Guadalajara, Mexico in a Jr. Welterweight bout.

In 6-round bouts:

Farah Ennis (21-2, 12 KO's) of Philadelphia will fight Michael Gbenga (20-19, 20 KO's) of Accra, Ghana in a Super Middleweight bout.

Former U.S. Olympian, Raynell Williams (7-0, 4 KO's) of Cleveland, OH will take on an opponent to be named in a Lightweight bout.

Welterweight Miguel Cruz (8-0, 7 KO's) of Lake Mary, FL battles Juan Rodriguez (6-2-1, 5 KO's) of Haymarket, VA..

Samuel Figueroa (7-0, 4 KO's) of Ansco, PR will fight Jose Valderrama (4-9, 3 KO's) of Arecibo, PR in a Welterweight bout.

Brandon Bennett (18-1, 7 KO's) of Cincinnati, OH will square off with Rondale Hubbert (10-1-1, 6 KO's) of Minneapolis, MN in a Lightweight bout.

Demond Nicholson (12-1, 12 KO's) of Laurel, MD will battle German Perez (11-1, 3 KO's) in a Middleweight bout.

Leo Hall (5-0, 5 KO's) of Detroit, MI will risk his perfect mark against Lawrence Blakey (2-3, 1 KO) of Pennsylvania in a Light Heavyweight affair.

Caleb Plant (6-0, 5 KO's) of Ashland City, TN will fight Jason Zabokrtsky (3-1, 3 KO's) of Kansas in a Middleweight bout.
