“Collision Course, A Night of Champions” is promoted by Star Boxing, and presented by Silverhawk Boxing, Guilty Boxing, and Xyience. The special pay-per-view event is offered in the United States, Canada, France, Russia, Indonesia and Greece at a suggested retail price of only $24.95. The PPV show, starting at 9 PM/ET, may be ordered by contacting local cable television providers (televised on In Demand, TVN, Viewers Choice Canada, Star Choice and Shaw Communications).

In addition to the exciting PPV tripleheader, the “live” action also finds world light heavyweight contender Prince Badi Ajamu (24-2-1, 13 KOs), rated No. 11 by the WBC, defending his WBC Continental Americas light heavyweight title and fights for the NABO belt against Galen Brown (22-3-1, 15 KOs) in another 12-round bout.
