SUGAR SHANE MOSLEY TO ATTEND FRIDAY, AUGUST 9 SHOBOX EVENT AT FANTASY SPRINGS RESORT CASINO PhilBoxing.com Fri, 02 Aug 2013  INDIO, CALIF. (August 1, 2013) - Sugar Shane Mosley, a future Hall of Fame boxer who has forged a legacy as one of the sport's most accomplished fighters of this era, will greet fans at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif. prior to the August 9 ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader featuring one of the hottest heavyweights in the game, unbeaten knockout artist Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder, which will be televised live on SHOWTIME?. A local favorite who first made his name on the Southern California fight scene (including a 1996 fight at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino), Pomona's Mosley got his big break when he faced IBF Lightweight World Champion Philip Holiday on August 2, 1997.

With lightweight conquered, Mosley moved up two divisions to the welterweight and eventually defeated WBC Welterweight World Champion Oscar De La Hoya. In subsequent years, Mosley would win a third divisional title at 154 pounds and continue to fight the best in the game, including Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Antonio Margarito, Fernando Vargas and Miguel Cotto. In his most recent bout on May 18, Mosley defeated Mexican star Pablo Cesar Cano.
