STEVE CHAMBERS TO TAKE ON ANKRAH; DEVICTORIA REMATCHES MEDINA ON A PACKED CARD AT THE LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 5TH

PHILADELPHIA— On Friday night, December 5th, a huge night is planned with many great fights and ceremonies are on tap for the annual Children’s Holiday show at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Before the action gets underway, Fans are encouraged to bring a safe toy or gifts to help the less fortunate during the upcoming holiday season.

The co-feature just announced will pit Steve Upsher Chambers taking on the tough & durable Ben Ankrah of Ghana in a eight round Jr. Welterweight bout.

Chambers, 18-1-1 with five knockouts is coming off a hard fought eight round unanimous decision over Kevin Carmody on September 12th at The Legendary Blue Horizon. This will be Chambers 20th appearance at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

Ankrah, 11-8 from Ghana was the Ghana and West African Lightweight champion. He made his American debut and took former world title challenger and highly regarded Mike Arnaoutis ten hard round before dropping a unanimous decision on October 29th in New York City.

One of the fights just added to an already packed card, will pit Blue Horizon favorite, Lenny DeVictoria taking on Ricardo Medina in a six round Jr. Welterweight rematch.

DeVictoria has a deceiving record of 11-12 with three knockouts.

December 5th will mark an anniversary of sorts for DeVictoria.

It was December 7, 2007 when DeVictoria and Elad Shmouel hooked up in a classic Blue Horizon battle that fans are still talking about.

On December 5th, DeVictoria will also receive an award from John Disanto of www.phillyboxinghistory.com citing DeVictoria’s participation in the “2007 Fight of The Year” with Shmouel

This will be DeVictoria’s eleventh appearance at The Legendary Blue Horizon (6-4) which includes his February, 2007 split decision loss to Medina.

Like DeVictoria, Medina is better then his record which stands at 31-32-4 with seventeen knockouts. The twenty-one year vet has faced a litany of top fighters & world champions throughout the years such as Paulie Ayala, Guty Espadas, Zahir Raheem, and Mark “Too Sharp” Johnson to name a few.

Medina is coming off a very impressive six round unanimous decision over the dangerous Kevin Carmody seventeen months ago.
