WBA interim heavyweight world title at stake
The World Boxing Association (WBA) interim heavyweight championship will now be on the line Saturday night when undefeated Trevor Bryan (19-0, 13 KOs) and B.J. Flores (34-3-1, 21 KOs) square off at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, AZ, it was announced by promoter Don King. The interim title was approved since the pending WBA heavyweight championship pitting Manuel Charr and Fres Oquendo is currently in litigation. That fight is tentatively scheduled for September 29, but the courts will decide if the bout actually moves forward.
“These two warriors are both very hungry and they both dream of becoming a heavyweight champion,” said promoter Don King. “This should be a classic battle on Saturday night with the title on the line. We’ll decide the title in the ring, while the courts decide on what they will do with Charr and Oquendo.”
Tickets for the Celebrity Theater’s night of boxing are on sale at www.ironboy.com or at the box office. Tickets are priced at $30, $40, $60 and $100. Doors open at 5 p.m. The Celebrity Theater is located at 440 N. 32nd St. in Phoenix.
