Perrella-Ugas set for September 27
PhilBoxing.com Fri, 26 Aug 2016
Fort Myers, FL (August 25, 2016) - Hard-hitting welterweight standout Bryant ?Goodfella? Perrella will challenge Cuban contender Yordenis Ugas over ten rounds Tuesday, September 27.
The bout will air on Fox Sports 1 as part of Premier Boxing Champions? ?Toe-to-Toe Tuesday? series.
Perrella and Ugas were slated to meet August 12 but the bout was surprisingly scrapped by the athletic commission just days before the opening bell.
The fighting pride of Fort Myers, FL, Perrella burst onto the national scene with a second round knockout of David Grayton June 2 on ESPN. The 27-year-old has an excellent 14-0 record with 13 victories coming by knockout. A 6?0 southpaw, Perrella?s displayed excellent power in both hands and stopped five of his last six foes within two rounds.
Born and raised in Cuba but fighting out of Miami, FL, Ugas garnered international attention as an amateur by capturing a bronze medal in the 2008 Olympics. He won many tournaments and regularly defeated top fighters from across the globe. As a pro, Ugas owns a solid 16-3 ledger and has 7 wins by KO. On August 12, the crafty Cuban outworked previously unbeaten Jamal James (20-0) en route to an impressive unanimous decision.
Perrella, who was ready willing and able to fight August 12, saw Ugas? victory over James and has even more motivation to win in dominant fashion September 27.
?I?m really fired up for this because of the unfair circumstances causing the cancellation for the August 12 date,? said Perrella. ?Now that we?ve got everything rescheduled, my frustrations will be taken out on Ugas. I?m looking forward to facing him and showing the world that I?m a serious player in the welterweight division!?
More information on the card and bout location will be available shortly.
