Clarence Vinson, Israeli Middleweight Yuri Foreman See Action On Rahman-Tua Undercard

27.03 - Olympic bronze-medalist Clarence Vinson (11-0, 5 KOs) and New York's Jewish middleweight contender Yuri Foreman (8-0, 4 KOs) - two of DiBella Entertainment's unbeaten stars on the rise - will be in the spotlight on the undercard of the David Tua vs. Hasim Rahman heavyweight showdown on Saturday, March 29, at the First Union Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA.

Vinson, the diminutive bantamweight from Washington, DC, has reeled off eleven straight victories, and will put his unblemished record on the line against Joey Garcia (9-5-2, 2 KOs) from Modesto, CA.

Vinson, a three time national champion as an amateur, used boxing to stay on the good road growing up in the inner city on our nation's capital. He has demonstrated excellent footwork, combinations and body-punching in the pro ranks.

Foreman, unscathed in eight professional fights, will see action in a six-round junior middleweight contest against James Johnson (11-6-2, 6 KOs).

After growing up in the Soviet Union before migrating to Haifa, Israel, he now fights out of New York City. Foreman enjoyed a stellar 75-5 amateur career. Foreman has demonstrated solid combinations and toughness during his brief professional career.

"These two youngsters have outstanding credentials, and will be heard from in their respective weight classes," said DiBella. "Along with the main event and co-feature, Philadelphia fight fans, who are among the most knowledgeable in the country, will be getting their money's worth on March 29.

"Clarence Vinson is boxing's biggest 'small package.'" added DiBella. "He is definitely a championship- caliber fighter in his division, and has continued to improve with each fight.

"Yuri Foreman is on a collision course with the junior middleweight title," wrapped up DiBella. "He has tremendous skills, and because of his amateur background, is experienced beyond his years."
