The comeback of Yusef Mack continues on June 4 at the Aviator Sport Arena in Brooklyn, NY when Mack will take on Daniel Judah, 20-2-3, for the vacant NABA light heavyweight title. Daniel, the brother of Zab Judah, is moving down to light heavyweight from cruiserweight for this fight.
Mack, 24-2-2, is gunning for the top fighters in the division after moving up to 175 pounds following his problems making the super middleweight limit.
“He [Daniel Judah] called me out earlier in my career and it’s great that we have finally managed to get it on," said Mack. "I am so much stronger at the new weight and my new trainer John Tandy has whipped me into the best shape of my career.
"I have never felt this good and people are going to see the new me. I am very confident of getting the win and putting on a good show for the fans out there”
The event is being televised on ESPN2 Wednesday night fights and the undercard features Irish born undefeated light middleweight James Moore, 15-0, who's opponent is yet to be announced.
Also on the bill are Diferson Legrand, Carlos Garcia, Jose Lozada, Anthony Accardi and Vachagan Avagyan.
The show is being promoted by Tommy Gallagher Promotions and Winky Wright Promotions.
