ByBoxing Press 31/01/2008

After a very successful trip overseas to Macau China, Sal Musumeci President and CEO of Final Forum Boxing is ready to take Heavyweight Champ, Derric Rossy to the next level.

“Not many people know this,” said Musumeci,”Hasim Rahman was the original opponent for Macau. For whatever reason, the distance, the opponent whatever Rahman’s people didn’t want to come to Macau.

Musumeci called Ray Mercer a “real gentleman and Professional.” Rossy beat Mercer by unanimous decision in Macau China on January 26th.

“Mercer took this fight like the true champion he is,” said Musumeci,”Rahman’s people didn’t want him to come to China, Mercer stepped right up and helped make this event a huge success!”

Rossy is awaiting updated rankings from the Sanctioning bodies, he is expected to be ranked in the top 10 of the WBC and WBO..Rahman is currently ranked number 3 by the WBC.

“Hasim Rahman is a true Champion and Gentleman,” said Musumeci,”I am telling you right here and right now we will fight Hasim Rahman in the US anytime and anyplace. I’m hoping that Bob Arum sees this as the event I know it can be, a real Heavyweight
fight between two ranked guys looking to grab the prize! I’m just waiting for the phone to ring.”
