DON KING’S CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT OF BOXING JUST GOT EVEN BIGGER

PhilBoxing.com





THE WORLD’S GREATEST PROMOTER IS STAGING ANOTHER OHIO OCKBUSTER; HOMECOMING AT LAST! TO BE HELD SATURDAY, JANUARY 29TH

DEERFIELD BEACH, FL (January 8, 2022)—The World’s Greatest Boxing promoter, Don King, is coming home to Warren, Ohio in spectacular fashion as he has put together a blockbuster championship night of boxing on Saturday, Jan. 29.

Tickets for the night of boxing set for the W.D. Packard Music Hall in Warren, OH are on sale at Ticketmaster or the W.D. Packard Music Hall. The tickets will be priced at $550, $350, $250, $175 and $80.

Homecoming At Last! The fight for the forgotten people (the homeless, poor, and downtrodden people) will benefit from this championship doubleheader.

The main event will pit WBC Cruiserweight Champion Ilunga Junior Makabu (28-2 with 25 KOs) and the number one challenger, WBC Silver Champion Thabiso Mchunu (23-5, 13 KOs). The winner is hopeful of the opportunity to fight World Champion Canelo Alvarez.

In addition to Makabu-Mchunu, King has been busy working the phones to put together two special attractions and two other championship fights.

WBA World Heavyweight Champion Trevor Bryan (21-0, 15 KOs) will be featured in a co-main event special attraction.

The two championship fights will showcase the NABA Cruiserweight title as Johnnie Langston (9-3, 3 KOs) of Sarasota, FL will square off against Nick Kisner (22-5-1, 6 KOs) of Baltimore, MD.

The NABA Middleweight Championship will be up for grabs as local product Michael Moore (18-3, 8 KOs) of Cleveland, OH will meet Anthony Lenk (17-7, 7 KOs) of Niagara Falls, NY.

King hopes to add to this spectacular card in the coming days.
