23.01 - The welterweight championship between Vernon Forrest and Ricardo Mayorga is the main event, and a pair of undefeated DiBella Entertainment stars will help to spice up the action this Saturday night, January 25, at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California.

Heavyweight on the rise Derek Bryant (15-0, 13 KOs) and top-flight junior middleweight Yuri Foreman (7-0, 3 KOs) will put their unbeaten pro records on the line on the championship fight card.

Bryant, dubbed the "One Man Riot," is a bona fide knockout artist, with 86 percent of his victories coming via KO. The Philadelphia native will take on tough veteran Damon Reed (34-6, 24 KOs) in an eight-round heavyweight affair. When not in the ring, Derek is kept busy by his six children.

Jewish star Foreman steps right back into the ring after a convincing victory over Andrey Trunov two weeks ago on January 10 on ESPN/2's Friday Night Fights. A native of the Soviet Union before migrating to Israel, Foreman now fights out of New York City. The 22-year-old unbeaten junior middleweight squares off against William Evans (4-2, 2 KOs) in a six-rounder.

"This is a great opportunity for both Derek and Yuri to showcase their talents on a championship card underneath Vernon Forrest vs. Ricardo Mayorga," said Lou DiBella, president of DBE.

HBO's World Championship Boxing broadcast will begin at 10:00 PM/ET, 7:00 PM/PT.
