Ryan Wissow, President of the Womens International Boxing Association (WIBA), announces that Jarvis Robinson’s Fight Night Productions ‘Casino Battle Royale’ event, which is to be held in Atlantic City later this year, will feature the vacant WIBA Super Bantamweight World Title fight.
On the agreement to feature the title fight, Wissow said “Myself and the WIBA are pleased to be working with Mr. Robinson and his Fight Night Productions team. We’re impressed by their professionalism and expect that this will be just the first event of many that we will be involved with them on.”
Robinson mirrored the sentiment on the WIBA before adding, “The WIBA belt is one of the most prestigious titles around and super bantamweight is a seriously competitive class filled with superb athletes and some of the best fighters around.
"Put the two together and, boy oh boy, we could have a classic fight on our hands.
I’m really looking forward to this and am proud to position it right at the top of the card as co-main feature”
The WIBA and Jarvis Robinson are currently in negotiations with the management of various super bantamweight title contenders and expect to announce the combatants shortly.
