READING, PA (April 14, 2011) - Rising prospect Travis Kauffman is ready to take his next step in the heavyweight title picture when he returns to the Sovereign Center's Reading Eagle Theater in his hometown of Reading, PA on May 21.

The 25-year-old with a record 21-1 (16 KO) will defend his WBF Intercontinental Heavyweight title against an opponent to be named shortly in the eight-round main event of the "Fight For Hope" boxing card, which will be promoted by King's Promotions.

Kauffman is currently in California training with top heavyweight contender Chris Arreola as he prepares for his own match in May. Kauffman has won three straight bouts since his only career defeat.
