No less than six big fights, featuring local fighting favorites against quality opponents in the welterweight or light welterweight divisions, are scheduled for the undercard of this Friday's stacked nationally televised tripleheader of worldwide-televised boxing from the UIC Pavilion in Chicago.
Presented by Warriors Boxing, 8 Count Productions, Seconds Out Promotions and Marines Promotions, all six bouts will be in support of the night's exciting televised action: Roberto "La Amenaza" Garcia (35-3, 23 KOs) of Weslaco, Texas, taking on hard-hitting and dangerous Breidis "Khanqueror" Prescott (27-5, 20 KOs) of Miami, via Barranquilla, Colombia in the 10-round welterweight main event; WBA #15, IBF #13, and WBO #11-rated Caleb "Golden" Truax (23-1-2, 14 KOs) of Osseo, Minnesota, taking on former USBA Junior Middleweight Champion Derek "Pooh" Ennis (24-4-1, 13 KOs) in the co-main event; and Chicago's own Mike Lee (12-0, 7 KOs) opening the worldwide telecast by facing Paul Gonsalves (7-3, 3 KOs) of Hyannis, Massachusetts in a light heavyweight six-rounder.
Topping the un-televised portion of "Conquerors" will be a six-round welterweight duel between Chicago's promising Alex Martin (5-0, 5 KOs) and Jackson, Michigan's Alfred Hall (3-4-2, 2 KOs).
A 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Alternate and National Golden Gloves Champion (152 lbs.) who finished his amateur career with a 340-10 record, Martin has yet to see the third round as a professional. Hall has only been stopped once in his career and that against world-class contender Tony Harrison.
Tickets for "Conquerors" are priced at VIP $151, VIP Ringside $101, Mezzanine $51 and General Admission $31 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster (Ticketmaster.com, 1-800-745-3000), the 8 Count Productions Offices: 312-622-7668 or the UIC Pavilion Box Office: 312-413-5740.
