HITZ BOXING PRESENTS THE END-OF-SUMMER SHOWCASE
Friday, September 5th

August 27, 2003 - Promoter Bobby Hitz of Hitz Boxing presents his annual "End of Summer Showcase" featuring six undefeated Chicago prospects as they continue their quest for World Titles and one former Olympian looking to get his pro career back on track. The action takes place at The Ramada Hotel O'Hare on Friday, September 5th.

Mismanaged early in his pro career while fighting in Europe, 1996 Ukrainian Olympic Team Captain Vitaliy "Dr. TKO" Kopytko (20-5, 8 KOs) believes he's finally found the right promotional fit with Hitz Boxing. Kopytko will draw on Chicago's huge Ukrainian community for motivation. "Chicago feels like home. Many people here know me from Ukraine and are showing me a lot of support. Bobby Hitz has made me a great offer and I'm excited to make a run for a World Title." Patrick Lewis (9-2, 4 KOs) faces Kopytko in the featured Super Middleweight bout.

Fan favorite Middleweight "Macho" Miguel Hernandez (3-0, 2 KOs) looks to deliver another impressive performance following his "highlight reel" KO of Michael Rush on Hitz Boxing's July HBO Latino broadcast.

At 6'5" and 230 pounds, former Canadian Football League player, Carl "Iron Fist" Davis (3-0, 2 KOs) returns from a tough 4-round learning experience on July 10th. Facing a Russian boxer with a reported 150 amateur bouts, Davis won by hard fought decision. Said Davis, "I've never faced that style of boxing before. I won, and I learned a lot in that bout. That's what I'm looking to do. Learn and progress."

An attorney for Allstate Insurance at their corporate headquarters in suburban Chicago, Matt "Bam Bam" Barber (3-0, 2KOs) looks to make a case that he is a rising Heavyweight contender.

Rounding out this action-packed event are Joey "The Boss" Gill making his pro debut as a Light Heavyweight, Cruiserweight Ed "Iron Man" Gutierrez (8-0-1, 6 KOs) and Junior Welterweight Jermaine Marks (7-0, 4 KOs).

The Ramada Hotel O'Hare is located just 25 minutes northwest of the Chicago Loop at 6600 N. Mannheim Road in Rosemont, IL.

Doors open at 7 pm with the action starting at 8pm.
