News From the NABF
Welcome to summer! I hope everyone is getting time in their hammocks, on the golf course and, of course, at the beach! To all you parents and grandparents who have graduates, congratulations! May their expectations be high and their school loans be low. For those of us on the east coast, it’s a coveted moment to relax and grill. If you’re doing anything special this summer, let us know so we can share it.
NABF heavyweight champion Johnathon Banks had an opportunity to fight Seth Mitchell on HBO – therefore, he vacated the title as he was obligated to meet the NABF mandatory contender. That’s why Tony Grano fought DaVarryl Williamson for the vacant title on June 23 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida.
Upcoming Fights:
7 July – 160 – Atlantic City, NJ – Patrick Majewski vs. Chris Fitzpatrick for the vacant NABF middleweight title.
27 July – 135 – Champion Hank Lundy defends against Ray Beltran in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
17 August – 140 – Champion Dierry Jean defends against Cosme Rivera in Montreal, Canada.
And their will be more as the days go on!
