Welterweight Prospect Anthony Young of Atlantic City Added to "Heavyweight Explosion" in Allentown! PhilBoxing.com Wed, 08 Feb 2012 ATLANTIC CITY (February 7, 2012) - Undefeated welterweight prospect Anthony Young of Atlantic City returns to the ring on Saturday, February 25 at the Rodeway Inn in Allentown, PA on the undercard of King's Promotions' "Heavyweight Explosion" against Steven Matthews (1-0) of Greensboro, N.C. Young, 23, has built a perfect record of 3-0 (2 KO) since turning pro in October following a 23-3 amateur career that included a 2011 Philadelphia Golden Gloves title and a runnerup placement in the Mid Atlantic Golden Gloves. Prior to lacing up gloves, Young was a standout high school football and basketball star at Pleasantville High School, which he graduated from in 2006. He went on to play running back at New Mexico Military Institute before a shoulder injury cut his aspirations short. Now trained by Ray McCline, who guided Virgil Hill to world titles in the light heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions, Young is ready to reach the heights of boxing. "This kid just oozes talent," said Young's manager Rich Masini. "He is a natural athlete all-around, the kind of kid who would succeed in any sport he put his focus on. The fans in Allentown are in for a treat later this month." In the main event, heavyweight favorite William "Big Stuff" Miranda (4-4-1) of Allentown, PA will meet battle-tested Riley Brooks (1-3-1) of Baltimore, MD in a six-round battle. In the six-round co-featured bout, junior middleweight Keenan Collins (13-7-2, 9 KO) of Reading, PA will face Julio Cesar Lanza (7-17-6, 1 KO) of Managua, Nicaragua. Collins, a native of York, PA, is looking to get back on track after a competitive decision loss to world-ranked Philadelphian Gabriel Rosado. Also on the card, undefeated welterweight Grayson Blake (4-0, 1 KO) of State College, PA will meet Corey Preston (1-7) from North Carolina in a four-round bout. The 29-year-old Blake was a former national amateur standout and was a member of the Pennsylvania State University boxing team. In other action, heavyweight Eric Newell (3-1,1 KO) of Bethlehem, PA will face debuting Randy Easton, plus junior lightweight Frank Santos De Alba (1-0-1, 1 KO) of Reading, PA meets Corey White (1-3, 1 KO) from Ohio in a four-round bout.
