Bantamweight Champion, and one of the top female fighters in
the world, Kaliesha West (14-1 4 KO's) of Moreno Valley. The
special feature is Kronk Jr Middleweight Tony Harrison, who
is one of Emanuel's prized pupils. Harrison is 4-0 with 4

powerful Harrison to Tommy Hearns, expecting great things
from him. The remainder of the fight card will feature some
of the best local talent from the Inland Empire and Southern

world class venue Like Pechanga and look forward to bringing
to the fans a great night of boxing"

International Boxing Hall of Fame. After managing and

Former Heavyweight Champion Lennox Lewis and flamboyant
featherweight star Prince Naseem Hamed, Tommy "Hit Man"
Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar De La
Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Leon Spinks, Eddie Mustafa
Muhammad, Aaron Pryor, and Miguel Cotto. Middleweight Andy
