Bradford’s Junior Witter is on the verge of making history. On our next event on Friday 15th September at the historic Alexandra Palace, he attempts to become the first ever British super lightweight to win a WBC title, the most prestigious in the sport.
This will be the first time the championship has been contested in London since Lennox Lewis beat Francois Botha in July 2000. That was also the last occasion a Brit was successful in a WBC fight.
Standing in Junior’s way is DeMarcus Corley, a big punching, former world champion promoted by Don King. The American is coming to spoil the party.
As Junior’s promoter, we are looking to get him the support he deserves.
So come on, get behind our man.
He now has a MySpace profile where we would like you to leave him a message or add him as a friend. The address is www.MySpace.com/JuniorWitter.
In return, we will keep you updated with very regular blog entries from the man himself. He will also drop by from time to time to see how many friends he has and to respond personally to as many questions and comments as possible.
We look forward to hearing from you.
