Mexican welterweights Michel Rosales, 11-0 (10KO’s) of San Luis Potosi, Mexico and Jesus Soto Karass, 14-3-2 (11KO’s) of Los Mochis, Mexico will headline October Fury, the next installment of world class professional boxing presented by Chicago’s 8 Count Productions, which will take place on Friday, October 20th at Cicero Stadium.

battled former world title challenger Manuel “Shotgun” Gomez to a ten round draw at the Fort McDowell Casino in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Both of these bouts were broadcast on SOLO BOXEO de Miller.

Said Dominic Pesoli, “This is a terrific matchup, both of these guys have a lot a stake.

They’re both heavy handed fighters who should for a make for a very exciting main event. I’ve seen them both battle this year on SOLO BOXEO and both of their wins

were outstanding fights.”

Boy” Litzau, 19-0 with seventeen knockouts, of St. Paul Minnesota.

Also returning to the 8 Count Productions’ ring is Chicagoland favorite, middleweight “Macho” Miguel Hernandez, 19-5 (9KO’s).
