IBF World Cruiserweight Championship Bout to be televised on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights

HOLLYWOOD, FL, May 13 – It’s just days away – the 12 round IBF championship showdown that will crown a new king in the cruiserweight division on Friday, May 20 at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida.  Both O’Neil Bell and Dale Brown, are ready for the fight of their lives.

“I’ve had a great camp and I’m just itching to get into the ring on May 20th and show the world what a true cruiserweight champion looks like,” said Bell (23-1, 22 KOs).  “I’ve got a lot of respect for Dale Brown, but that will all go out the window once the bell rings.”

“O’Neil Bell is a very good fighter,” said Brown (33-3-1, 21 KOs).  “But my experience and determination to win, will be too much for him to handle on May 20th.  I’ve waited too long to be champion and I will not let this title slip out of my hands.”

Bell-Brown, a 12 round championship contest, headlines an exciting night of world-class professional boxing presented by Warrior’s Boxing Promotions, Inc. in association with The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
