Danny McDermott to Face Osnel Charles in "Brick City Brawl" Co-Feature PhilBoxing.com Fri, 11 Feb 2011 Jersey City, NJ (February 10, 2011) - Lightweight prospect Danny "Little Mac" McDermott (8-2, 3 KO) of Jersey City, NJ will make his first ring appearance in almost a year when he faces Osnel Charles (6-2) of Atlantic City, NJ at Essex County College in Newark, NJ on February 19. The six-round bout will be the main supporting fight to "Brick City Brawl", which is headlined by Polish heavyweight Mariusz Wach (23-0, 11 KO) facing Jonathan Haggler (23-3, 18 KO) for the vacant WBC Baltic heavyweight championship. McDermott-Charles and Wach-Haggler will both be televised by FoxSports and Comcast affiliates throughout the country. The show will be promoted by Prize Fight and Global Boxing Promotions. McDermott, 31, hasn't fought since his thrilling war with Brian Miller last year, which was named the "Garden State Fight of the Year" by Boxrec. Now training with former middleweight Dominick Scibetta in North Bergen's Global Boxing Gym, McDermott is back in the groove. "This is the opportunity I've waited for my whole life," says McDermott, an alumni of Paramus Catholic High School. "I'm excited and hope to give the fans the best fight possible. I'm focused on one thing, which is being the best fighter I possibly can be." Besides being a fighter, McDermott is also a father of two and a graduate of the New York Film Academy. Charles, 26, was born in Haiti but raised in West Palm Beach, FL. He is coming off his career best performance, an upset of Philadalphia favorite Victor Vasquez, last month. Accompanying McDermott to the ring will be Joe Gatti, a former world title contender and brother of McDermott's mentor Arturo "Thunder" Gatti.
