January 29 (Merrillville, IN) -
Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana fight fans are invited to Langel's
Pizza, 2833 Highway Avenue in Highland, Indiana, this Thursday at 6
p.m. for the official boxer weigh ins for One In A Million's
six-bout card the following night. Sponsored by Miller and Miller
Lite, the Miller Girls will be at Langel's taking photos and
awarding prizes including tickets to Friday night's six-bout boxing
card at the Radisson at Star Plaza in Merrillville. "We're looking
forward to another great year with Octavius James' One In A Million
and Miller," said Rodney Langel, owner of Langel's Pizza. "Boxing
and Miller is the perfect one-two combination."
In Friday night's main event, One In A Million's franchise player,
Michael "The Midnight Stalker Walker" (17-0-1, 11 KOs) looks to keep
his unbeaten streak alive by making quick work of Jerome Elder of
Indy. Highly touted by boxing insiders, Walker is a top middleweight
prospect in a division deep in talent.
Female bout: Evette Colazzo vs. Kim Colbert.
Fight fans love the hard punching heavyweights and on Friday night,
the big boys return to action at the Radisson when One In A
Million's undefeated heavyweight Michael Parker (5-0, 4 KOs) steps
into the ring with Leo Sylvest (5-3, 3 KOs) of Indy. With Parker
winning 4 of his 5 bouts by KO and Sylvest winning 3 of his 5 bouts
by KO, this one should be exciting... while it lasts.
One In A Million stablemates, featured in separate bouts, include
super middleweight Jimmy "The Fighting School Teacher" Holmes
(16-1-2, 9) of DeMotte, super middleweight Derrick "Superman"
Findley (9-2, 5) of Gary and welterweight Ed Ochoa (2-0, 2) of
