Johnson, who is ranked as the WBA #4, WBC #10, and IBF #13 rated heavyweight in the world, will be part of the "Night of Rising Stars" ceremony being hosted by Legendary Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward. Some of boxing's hottest young stars and champions will be honored at the ceremony. Joining Johnson will be WBO junior middleweight champion, Paul "The Punisher" Williams, IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute, WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto, two- time welterweight champion Kermit "The Killer" Cintron, and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder.
Johnson who is widely considered to be the top American heavyweight prospect, is coming off an impressive 6th round TKO victory over previously unbeaten and highly regarded 2004 Olympic Team Captain, Devin Vargas on May 15th.
"I am very honored that I was asked to take part in this wonderful ceremony," stated Johnson. "This is a dream come true for me. It's a walking fantasy to take part in the Hall of Fame Induction weekend."
"We are very proud of Kevin's accomplishments and are looking forward to him becoming the next American Heavyweight champion," stated Johnson promoter Joe DeGuardia, CEO and founder of Star Boxing. "We are very happy that the prestigious International Boxing Hall Of Fame has honored Kevin and we want to thank them for all their support."
For Johnson, who is an avid student of the game, it will be his first time visiting the BHOF. "I am very excited to get up there and get a chance to see the memorabilia from these all-time great fighters. I have watched so many films of these guys, I am really am just looking forward to walking around and taking everything in."
"I know that very soon I am going to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and I think that me being asked to attend this ceremony is a testament to the fact that many other people in boxing feel the same exact way. I really can not express enough how honored I truly am. This is one of the proudest moments of my entire life."
See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

KEVIN "KINGPIN" JOHNSON
Undefeated and world ranked heavyweight contender Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9KO) has one question for The Klitschko Management Group, "What time does the next flight to Germany leave?" Johnson, coming off an impressive TKO victory over undefeated US Olympic Team Captain Devin Vargas on May 15th looks to prove he is the leading US heavyweight contender and next heavyweight champion. "It's as simple as picking up the phone and calling Star Boxing," Johnson stated after learning that David Haye pulled out of his June 20th match with Wladimir Klitschko. "I'm ready to show the entire world what boxing experts already know, the next heavyweight champion of the world is from the United States and his name is Kevin Johnson."
See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

Open letter from John Ruiz to the Top American Heavyweights To America’s “Top” Heavyweight Boxers
I’ve been told I’m not the most fan-friendly fighter in the world, my style often criticized as being ugly, but I’m proud to say I’ve never ducked a worthy opponent. For the past month or two, though, I’ve read and heard a lot BS about how I shouldn’t be the WBA mandatory title challenger. A few totally unproven, so-called contenders have whined about them deserving a world title shot more than I do.
Why? Who have Chris Arreola, Eddie Chambers, Kevin Johnson or Brian Minto beaten to deserve a world title shot? Nobody! Just compare my list of victories to yours. You guys haven’t come close to doing what I’ve accomplished.
I’ve been where you’re trying to get – 11 world title fights (2 WBA titles) -- and I’m even willing to risk my WBA mandatory title shot next year against the Chagaev-Valuev II winner just to show everyone that I’m entitled to another world championship fight. Prove me wrong. Stop all of the smack talk, try and beat me in the ring – the only place it really counts -- to be the real No. 1 American heavyweight. Next year, I’ll be fighting for the crown again unless one of you pretenders step-up and change my schedule.
Show the boxing world that you’re a true contender, not a pretender. You want it, come and get it – put your money where your mouth is. No more excuses, just contact my attorney Tony Cardinale (your promoters know how), and let’s make it happen.
See you at the Fights.
Thanks for your time.

“FAST” EDDIE CHAMBERS TO NEW HEAVYWEIGHT: HEY DAVID WHAT THE HAYE ARE YOU TALKING? FIGHT ME!!
“FAST” EDDIE CHAMBERS TO NEW HEAVYWEIGHT: HEY DAVID WHAT THE HAYE ARE YOU TALKING? FIGHT ME!!
PHILADELPHIA- As 2008 winds down and head into the fall months, heavyweight, “Fast” Eddie Chambers is looking for bigger & better things to close out the year and get right back in the mix of the elite in the division.
Team Chambers which consists of Manager/Trainer, Rob Murray Sr., co-Promoter Rob Murray Jr. of Score America, Dan Goossen and Eddie himself have thrown down the gauntlet and want to fight anyone & everyone in attempt to win the heavyweight championship of the world.
Chambers is coming off an explosive sixth round stoppage over Rapheal Butler in The Cayman Islands on June 20th feels left out as other less-deserving heavyweight’s have been getting opportunities.
“One loss and he is forgotten” said Murray Jr. “We were watching an ESPN-2 show a few weeks ago and they mentioned that Brian Minto & Kevin Johnson were two of the top five American Heavyweights but Eddie’s name wasn’t on the list. Come on now, Minto couldn’t hit Eddie with a handful of rice.”
The elder Murray agreed and the longtime Philadelphia boxing man has some lofty praise for Chambers, “I started Bernard Hopkins and I managed (former Super Middleweight champion) Steve Little and Eddie has more natural talent than anyone I have managed.”
“We want to fight anyone, anywhere.”
Chambers, 31-1 with seventeen knockouts is looking to fight only the best competition. “I see guys like Ruiz, Valuev, Toney & Barrett getting opportunity after opportunity and that shuts out guys like me who lost one fight that I know I could have and should have won.” Said, the world ranked Chambers.
“I see a guy like David Haye is coming to heavyweight and already talking like he is something kind of special. I would love to be opposite of you when you make that heavyweight debut in England and you will be shocked that you aren’t even close to being the best and fastest in the ring that night.”
