Promoters Lou DiBella and Damon Dash will make the announcement at a press conference and media luncheon to be held at Gallagher’s Steak House on Thursday, July 7. Codrington will put his 8 for 8 knockout streak on the line, and will be joined by his “Chin Checker” partner Curtis Stevens (7-0, 6 KO’s) of Brooklyn, who will square off in another super middleweight contest.
