Super Middleweight Antuwyan Aikens Returns This Friday
At The Claridge In Atlantic City
This Friday night, May 22, boxing returns to the Claridge in
Atlantic City with a full 10-bout card promoted by King's
Promotions in association with DeeLee Promotions.
In one of the featured undercard bouts, undefeated super
middleweight, Antuwyan Aikens makes his return after a
13-month layoff when he takes on tough Edgar Perez in a bout
scheduled for 6-rounds.
In the main event, undefeated super bantamweight Juan "Baby
Tito" Dominguez will take on Mario Antonio Macias in a bout
scheduled for 8-rounds.
Aikens (9-0, 1 KO) of Atlantic City will be making his 7th
appearance in his hometown and is ready to get his career on
track after going through "The Business Side of Boxing."
"I had a good camp. We weren't getting the right deals so we
took the time off. We re-evaluated our career and wanted to
see what direction we wanted to go in. We hope that this
fight with King's Promotions will bring us better fights,
"said the 26 year-old Aikens.
In Perez, he is fighting a guy who not only has been with
top competition as he has fought 10 undefeated fighters but
also holds a win over previously undefeated Atlantic City
based Light Heavyweight Lavarn Harvell.
"I know that Perez is a brawler. I know he beat Harvell. So
for that I know it is a challenge and I look forward to that
but I plan on giving him a boxing lesson."
Harvell, has been busy working at the Tri-Care Medical
transport Company but knows that he needs to look good in
front of his hometown fans.
"It means a lot to mean to fight here at home. I am glad to
be back and make the most of it. I am looking forward to a
good fight and please the fans."
