Manfredo, Clampitt Ready!

June 14, 1607 - Providence, RI



"The Pride of Providence" Peter Manfredo, Jr. goes right back into the ring June 20, headlining "Cha-Ching In The Ring," on ESPN2 Wednesday Night Fights at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.

Manfredo (27-4, 13 KOs), star of The Contender I television reality show, bounced right back from his WBO super middleweight title loss by controversial stoppage in the third round to Joe Calzaghe on April 7 with an impressive ninth-round TKO of veteran Ted Muller (19-10-2) on May 11.

In the 10-round main event on the "Cha-Ching In The Ring" card, promoted by Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (CES), in association with Foxwoods Resort Casino and ESPN2, Manfredo takes on upset specialist David Banks (14-1-1, 2 KOs), who defeated previously unbeaten Elvin Ayala in his last two fights. Manfredo is 6-0 fighting at Foxwoods.

Peter Manfredo, Jr.: "I'm back again. I fought last month. It was a nice win; I got some rounds in with Ted Muller. It was a fun night for me. These are the steps I have to take to become a world champion. When you don't get a chance to fight, or lose, you have to start all over again to get back there. It's not like the Red Sox losing a game (and then playing the next night). It's going to be a great card. We're fighters, (I'm) not much of a talker. I'm going to do my thing and work my way back to another title fight."

Three years ago almost to the exact date, present IWBF lightweight champion Jaime "Hurricane" Clampitt and women's boxing pioneer Jane "Fleetwood Assassin" Couch will finally have a rematch to The Ring's 2004 "Female Fight of the Year," which Couch won via a very close unanimous decision (96-95, 96-94, 96-94) for the IWBF and NABA light welterweight titles.

Clampitt-Couch is the 10-round co-feature for a world junior welterweight title. Clampitt (17-4-1, 7 KOs), a three-time world champion, is coming off of a dominating victory by unanimous 10-round decision against Mia St. John on February 9. Couch (28-9, 9 KOs), representing her native England, is a 5-time world champion.

Jaime Clampitt: "This fight is almost three years ago to the date when I fought Jane. Tiny (Ricci, her trainer) died the day before and I heard about it going to the weigh in. Even watching the tape now is difficult because I wasnÕt into the fight. Jane Couch is expecting to fight the same person, but I donÕt even remember that fight, and I'll be a completely different fighter this time around. She won't even know me in this fight. I'm going to win my fourth world title and keep it in Rhode Island, right in the United States."

Scheduled to fight on the undercard in a Special Cruiserweight Attraction is red-hot prospect Aaron Williams (12-0-1, 8 KOs), nine-time U.S. National amateur champion, as well as unbeaten light heavyweight Jarrod Tillinghast (8-0, 2 KOs) and undefeated super middleweight Angel Camacho, Jr. (6-0, 4 KOs). Other bouts are being finalized. All fighters and bouts are subject to change.
