ByBoxing Press

Just seven days before he faces Tomasz Adamek in the title defense that he describes as “The most important fight of my career to date”, IBF Cruiserweight Champion Steve ‘USS’ Cunningham will host a special free event for his home town boxing fans at the Fox and Hound, 1501 Spruce Street, Philadelphia on Thursday, December 4.

Steve, who will be screening the video of his December 2007 championship defense against Marco Huck, spoke briefly about the event. “I’m really looking forward to this. Man, it’s going to be great to chill out with local boxing fans. I’m going to enjoy watching everyone as they watch the fight. It’s an exciting fight. You know this’ll be the first time anyone in America will get to see it. It was shown all over Europe, but not here.

“We thought it would be fun to do something with local boxing fans, You know, like get to know them and show them who ‘USS’ Cunningham is. I can’t thank Melissa and the guys down at the Fox and Hound enough for giving me the opportunity to do this.

“The Fox and Hound is a great sports bar. These guys support boxing, big time. They show almost every fight on TV. I’m sure they will be showing the Reading fight on Friday. I know they’re doing the De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao and my fight against Adamek.”

Steve and his team will be greeting fans from 7.30pm and showing the video of the Cunningham vs Huck fight at 8pm at The Fox and Hound, 1501 Spruce Street (15th & Spruce), Philadelphia, PA. on Thursday, December 4 2008
