TRAVIS KAUFFMAN TO TAKE ON ARRON LYONS ON AUGUST 23RD AT THE VALLEY FORGE CASINO RESORT

On Friday night, August 23^rd, WBA #13 ranked Heavyweight Travis Kauffman will take on upset minded Arron Lyons in an eight round co-feature at the Valley Forge Casino Resort.

The show which is promoted by Kings Boxing will be headlined by a ten round Pennsylvania Lightweight championship bout between undefeated champion Naim Nelson (10-0, 1 KO) of Philadelphia defending his title against Ryan Belasco (18-5-3, 3 KO’s) of Wilmingtin, Delaware in a bout scheduled for ten rounds.

Kauffman of Reading, PA has a record of 24-1 with 18 knockouts and the former amateur star won his first eighteen bouts with big wins over Malachy Farrell and William Shahan.

After suffering his only blemish which was a controversial loss to Tony Grano, Kauffman has won six in a row which includes wins over Chris Koval and his last bout when he took out Willie Perryman in one round on February 15^th.

“I don’t much on Lyons except that he is durable and goes rounds and he has upset some guys like Joey Abell”, said Kauffman.

“I am not just going in there to knock people out and on August 23^rd I am looking for a stellar performance”.

“I know now that I am ranked every fight is a steppingstone and I know I have to dominate Lyons.”

Kauffman knows that being world ranked, that a big fight could be near.

“Whatever is in the future, let it be”

Kauffman is ready to fight anyone at the top of the division, but circumstances have prevented him from taking that defining figjt.

“I was called to fight Tomasz Adamek but they took Dominick Guinn. Adamek is a hell of a fighter but I feel I can beat him. I was offered a fight with undefeated WBA #2 ranked Luis Ortiz but it was only four weeks’ notice for very short money. This is a business and the risk outweighed the reward. I am taking this one day at a time, I have had injuries problems such as three hand surgeries, and ankle and shoulder problems but now I am completely healthy and ready to look to big things in my future”

Lyons of Gulfport, Mississippi has a record of 12-12-1 with nine knockouts and has the aforementioned win over Abell plus two wins over Gabe Brown and a win over Lenroy Thomas.

Lyons has also been in the ring with Charles Ellis, Eugene Hill, Johnnie White, Damian Wills, Luis Ortiz and Kelvin Price.

The rest of the card is as follows:

Frankie De Alba (8-1-2, 3 KO’s) of Reading, PA via Bayamon, PR will take on an opponent to be named in a six round Super Featherweight bout.

Miguel Cartagena (7-0, 3 KO’s) of Philadelphia will take on Miguel Eduardo in a four round Bantamweight bout.

In four round bouts:

Lamont Capers (1-2) of Hawley, PA will battle Kamarah Pasley (6-6, 2 KO’s) of Philadelphia in a Cruiserweight fight.

Gerald Smith (3-0, 1 KO) of Philadelphia, PA will take on an opponent to be named in a Lightweight bout.

Damon Allen (2-0, 1 KO) of Philadelphia will battle Samuel Quinones Jr. (2-1, 1 KO) of York, PAin four round Lightweight bout.

Khalib “Big Foot” Whitmore (1-0) of Philadelphia battles Richard McCombs (1-4) of Washington, DC a Cruiserweight bout.

OSCAR DE LA HOYA FOUNDATION'S 13TH ANNUAL CHARITY GOLF CLASSIC HELD ON MONDAY, AUGUST 12 AT THE LAKESIDE GOLF CLUB LOCATED IN BURBANK, CALIF.‏

(Photo By; Keisha Morrisey)

August 12 - For over a decade, the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation has positively affected the lives of those in the Southern California area, creating and maintaining a state of the art cancer center, a charter high school, a labor and delivery center and a neonatal intensive care unit.

But it isn't possible to do it alone, so on Monday, August 12, the Foundation's 13th annual charity golf classic was held at the Lakeside Golf Club, bringing not just "The Golden Boy," Oscar De La Hoya, to the links, but several entertainment and sports world celebrities who competed to raise money for this worthy cause.

"This event has always been one of the highlights of the year for me, not just because I have the opportunity to compete against my friends on the golf course, but because we were able to raise money and bring awareness to the work done by the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation," said founder De La Hoya.

In attendance at the August 12 charity golf tournament were Henry Tillman, John O'Hurley, Richard Schiff, Kelly Slater, Michael Pena, and Kevin Sorbo. All proceeds raised benefitted the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation.

In 1995, the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation was created to bring a better quality of life to the people of East Los Angeles. Today, with the help of many, the foundation serves thousands of people annually. The Foundation supports and funds the Oscar De La Hoya High School, the Cecilia Gonzalez De La Hoya Cancer Center and the Oscar De La Hoya Children's Medical Center (both located at the White Memorial Hospital) and numerous after school programs to help guide young people toward leading positive lives and away from gang violence, juvenile delinquency and substance abuse.

Sponsors for this year's classic included Barry's Tickets, MGM Resorts International, Enlow & Associates, World Boxing Association, World Boxing Council, White Memorial Medical Center, Showtime Sports, CBS Corporation, Brener Family Foundation, World Boxing Organization, UBS Private Wealth Management, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, WTAS, Skechers, Representative Luis Arroyo, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Wells Fargo Insurance, FOX Deportes and Golden Boy Realty Services, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, and Art M. Gastelum (GSE).
