Posted in 2012, Boxing News, Chris Cella on April 13, 2012 by Champ

This past Saturday night at the Landers Center in Southaven, MS, middleweight Brandon Harder made his pro boxing debut in style with a devastating knockout victory against Willie Bryant.

Experiencing the glory of winning by KO is nothing new to Harder. As a MMA fighter Harder is 2-1, 1 KO, 1 Submission), but he showed Prize Fight Promotions and his large crew of supporters that he has found a home within the squared circle. Read more »

“Bullying has become a disease that is slowly killing innocent kids,” said Gunn. “Parents, teachers and authoritative figures need to be proactive in spreading awareness on how bullying can be dealt with the right way to ensure it does not progress to a deadly level.

IBA HEAVY TITLE FIGHT

Former IBA Cruiserweight Champion Bobby “The Celtic Warrior” will be fighting current IBA World Heavyweight Champion James “Lights Out” Toney April 7 in a 12-round fight at the Landers Center in Southaven, MS.

Last summer Gunn claimed the World Heavyweight BKB Title when he defeated Richard Stewart by way of KO in the third round of the first sanctioned BKB fight in 123 years.  Read more »
