Kentucky based veteran Cory “The Cobra” Phelps 11-3 (6 KO’s) has been named as the March 22nd opponent for former IBA cruiserweight champion and WBO title challenger Bobby Gunn 18-3 {15 KO’s}. The scheduled ten round contest will be the main event on a FelKO Promotions card which features five bouts in total. Upon hearing that an opponent was announced, Gunn was happy to finally have a foe in place.
“I am looking forward to fighting Phelps. I have been told he is a game opponent and comes to fight which is good because I’m ready for war! I have had an excellent camp with my trainer Chuck McGregor and I have got plenty of quality sparring. I had some let downs in 2007 but I am hoping to get back on track in 2008 by fighting top guys in the near future”, said the heavy handed Canadian.
Tickets are still on sale and can be ordered by calling David Feldman of FelKO promotions at 610-291-0806.
