Carney Bowman, the Fighting Pride of Central Pennsylvania, will battle hard hitting Dominican Delvin Placencia in the main event of TKO Boxing Promotions’ bill on Saturday, August 1st at the Sovereign Bank Stadium.
The 26 year old Bowman, born and raised in York, brings a record of 13-0-0 with five knockouts into the eight round featherweight bout.

“Placencia and Jesus Perez engaged in a terrific battle last month in Baltimore and this fight with Carney should provide fireworks from the opening bell.. It’s exactly the kind of action packed fight that fans should expect”.
