Super middleweight contender Gee Culmer returns to the Legendary Blue Horizon in Philadelphia this Friday at the ‘Israel vs Italy’ event headlined by powerful Israeli cruiserweight Ran Nakash against local boy Dave Brunelli.

Culmer, 15-1 (3), who beat fellow Philly fighter Jameel Wilson on his last outing last September, will be hoping to continue the one hundred percent success rate of Philadelphia’s premier training facility, the James Shuler Memorial Gym, in 2009.

During a break in his preparations, under the watchful eyes of his trainer Percy ‘Buster’ Custus, Culmer said, “I’ve been getting some great work in. Buster has stepped things up again and working me hard. Tyson’s been testing me hard, the sparring has been real good. I’m not sure who I’ll be fighting yet so have to mix it up. I’ll be ready for whoever it is.”

The Vernoca L. Michael and Blue Horizon Boxing Promotions Inc. promoted ‘Israel vs. Italy’ event features unbeaten Israeli knockout artist Ran Nakash, 17-0 (13), against former Heavyweight Dave Brunelli, 8-4 (3), in the eight round cruiserweight main event at The Legendary Blue Horizon in Philadelphia on Friday, April 3, 2009.

Also on the card will be a six round junior welterweight battle of Philadelphians as Tyric "Too Sweet" Robinson, 9-3-1 (3), faces Julias Edmonds, 4-3 (0).

Further top class bouts, including the return of the highly popular Israeli light welterweight Elad Shmouel, 19-2 (10), are due to be announced shortly.

These fights will be streamed live all over the world on www.gofightlive.tv
