A 10-round super lightweight co-main event has been added to Salita Promotions’ special Memorial Day weekend-kickoff Detroit Brawl event on Thursday, May 26, 2022, in the Lincoln Ballroom of the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan, as IBF #4, WBA #13, WBO #11 rated Shohjahon Ergashev will take on South American Champion Luis Alberto Veron (19-3-2, 9 KOs).
Ergashev (21-0, 19 KOs) of Detroit via Rakhmon, Uzbekistan and Veron (19-3-2, 9 KOs) of Jose Leon Suarez, Buenos Aires, Argentina will meet in the main supporting bout to the night’s main event featuring WBC #11-rated heavyweight Otto Wallin (23-1, 14 KOs) of Sweden facing Detroit’s own Rydell Booker (26-5-1, 13 KOs).
Geez, Wallin wasting his prime fighting hasbeens who neverwere’s? Sad..
True, but he’s not high on anyones list to fight. He signed to fight Whyte, and Whyte ducked out at the last second. He represents a lot of risk without a lot of reward.
Wallin came very close to stopping Tyson Fury on a cut. I’d love to see a Wallin vs. Fury rematch!
