MERRILLVILLE, IN.- Octavius James/One In
A Million Inc. in association with 8 Count Productions today
officially announced two of the nation's hottest undefeated women
fighters, Gary, Indiana's "Merciless" Mary McGee Vs. Chicago's Rita
"La Guerra" Figueroa, will put their perfect records on the line in
the Main Event showdown on the "Night Of Champions," card Friday,
November 17th, 2006 at the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza in
Merrillville, Indiana.
McGee (7-0, 4 KO's) and Figueroa (9-0, 3 KO's) will battle for more
than just the IN.B.A. Women's Super Lightweight Championship, said
James, CEO of One In A Million Inc.
"This Main Event is hot because it's about more than a title," he
said. "It's about pride, reputation and bragging rights in the world
of women's boxing, which has made huge strides in recent years."
Tickets for "Night of Champions" are on sale now, starting at $25.
Doors open at 7 p.m., and the first bout will be at 8 p.m. Tickets
are available at the Star Plaza Box Office (219-769-6600) or through
any Ticket Master (312-559-1212) or
www.TicketMaster.com
These women warriors faced each other once before, in the amateur
ranks, but there is far more at stake now, as McGee's and Figueroa's
futures could skyrocket or slow down significantly, depending on the
outcome.
"Champions" will be packed with championship level action, as Jimmy
"The Fighting Schoolteacher" Holmes (14-0-1, 7 KO's) looks to defend
his Indiana State Middleweight title, and Highland Cruiserweight
Michael "Quiet Assassin" Parker (4-0, 4 KO's) tries to lengthen his
string of knock-out victories in a talent rich division.
In a Special Attraction, Johnny "Kid One In A Million" Novak (19-1,
6 KO's) continues his march through the Light Welterweight division,
calling out well known, championship level fighters like
Pittsburgh's own Paul Spadafora (38-0-1, 15 KO's), a former IBF
title holder.
"Night of Champions" will be the latest installment in a series of
professional boxing shows that has taken pro sports in the Midwest
to another level, James said.
"There's no doubt this show has something for everyone, and these
fighters are out to make bigger names for themselves," he said.
"That means they have to bring their A-Games and put on the best
possible show for the fans and the boxing community."
