News, Notes, and Rumors:
- Look for the April KO Corner World Rankings to be released at some point this weekend…
- Andrey Tsurkan stopped Sam Sparkman in the ninth round of their bout last night in New York City and successfully defending his NABF Junior Middleweight Title. Tsurkan connected with a left hook in the early stages of the ninth round and put Sparkman right to sleep. It was Tsurkan’s 16th career KO…
- On the undercard of the Tsurkan-Sparkman fight, Raymond Joval won a unanimous decision victory over Willie Gibbs…
- According to members of Jameson Bostic’s training camp, Robert Allen, Bostic’s opponent for a bout scheduled for next weekend has officially pulled out. Allen cited a lack of interest in fighting Bostic as the main reason.
However Bostic’s camp sees it another way:
“My manager Bob Cerbe received a phone call from Team Allen, saying he was no longer interested in fighting me. Apparently, the fact that I’m 6’4” and training with Buddy McGirt scared them off.”
“That man has the nerve to call himself Armed and Dangerous? That scared punk looks more like ‘Armed and Shameless’ if you ask me.”
