Main Events Wins Judah vs.
Mabuza Purse Bid
Totowa, NJ - Kathy Duva, Main Events CEO, announced their
promotional firm won the purse bid held at IBF headquarters
in East Orange, NJ, Thursday. The bid was for the right to
hold the IBF's junior welterweight title fight between Zab
Judah of Brooklyn, NY and Las Vegas, and South Africa's
Kaizer Mabuza.
IBF Championships Chairman, Lindsay Tucker explained, "It is
a 50-50 split of the earnings between the two fighters.
Kaizer is ranked No. 1 by the IBF, and Judah is No. 2. Where
the fight will be held is up to the winning bidder."
Judah (39-6, 26 KOs) is promoted by Main Events and his own
firm Super Judah Promotions, and Branco Milenkovic, of South
Africa, promotes Mabuza (23-6-3, 14 KOs).
Kathy Duva confirmed the fight will take place at Prudential
Center in Newark, NJ, late February or early March this year
as part of Main Events' Brick City Boxing Series.
"We are very happy that Zab has the opportunity to fight for
the IBF Junior Welterweight title right here in New Jersey.
Winning this fight will put Zab right in the mix with the
winner of Bradley-Alexander and Amir Khan." Duva elaborated,
" Zab will work very hard to win this fight so that he will
be one step closer to his ultimate goal of unifying all of
the Junior Welterweight titles by the end of 2011!"
Details will follow.
