Star Boxing: George vs. Sierra Set For Miami Slugfest

Next Friday at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK, highly touted, undefeated super middleweight contender, Donovan “Da Bomb” George (20-0-1, 17KO’s), will look to continue on his path towards a super middleweight title shot.

George takes on the very dangerous, Francisco Sierra (21-3, 20KO’s) in what promises to be an all-out war between heavy-handed contenders in the co-feature on ESPN’s “Friday Night Fights” telecast.

The bout, promoted by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing and Warriors Boxing, is the co-feature to the welterweight showdown between IBF #3 rated, Delvin Rodriguez (25-4-2, 14KO’s) and Ashley Theophane (26-4-1, 7KO’s).

“This match-up has excitement written all over it,” stated Joe DeGuardia, CEO and President of Star Boxing. “You have two hungry, hard-hitting, up and coming contenders, with a combined thirty seven knockouts in forty one victories (90%). This is going to be a must see fight, so make sure to tune-in early because fireworks are in store when these two kick off the show next Friday night.”

George is coming off a unanimous decision win over once beaten Osumanu Adama on Showtime in his last fight in April of this year. The fight was highly an entertaining scrap as neither warrior looked to take a step back all night long. George, who is promoted by Warriors Boxing, scored a knockdown in the 7th, to cement his hard earned victory.

“All I have on my mind right now is Sierra,” stated a focused and determined sounding George. “I had a great training camp, and I’m ready to go. I will give the fans at the Buffalo Run Casino, and everyone else watching at home on ESPN a great show as I’m going to take Sierra out!”

Manager, Mike Michael added, “Sierra is a dangerous opponent, but Donovan is ready to take care of business. I want to thank the Buffalo Run Casino, the promoters, Star Boxing and Warriors Boxing, ESPN for this great opportunity and my good friend, Jimmy “Zeek” Hartofilis, for his continued support. Lock your doors and run for cover, because “Da Bomb” is ready to explode and Francisco Sierra is his target.”

The 22-year-old Sierra is coming off his best win to date, a 6th round TKO over former WBO welterweight champion Jose Luis Lopez in his last fight in May of this year. Sierra hopes to carry that momentum with him into the ring next Friday, as he looks to further climb the ranks of the super middleweight division.

George-Sierra is promoted by Star Boxing and Warriors Boxing. The bout is scheduled for ten rounds in the super middleweight division. ESPN will begin live coverage at 9PM (ET).
