Yusaf Mack Ready For Daniel Judah

The show, which will be televised on ESPN 2’s Wednesday Night Fights, is being promoted by Winky Wright Promotions, in association with Thomas Gallagher Productions. Wright, a former world champion, and Gallagher, who starred in season one of “The Contender” reality television series, will both be in attendance..

The main event will feature Yusaf Mack, 24-2-2 (15 KOS), of New York via Philadelphia vs. Daniel Judah, 22-2-3 (10 KOS), of Brooklyn. At stake will be the vacant NABA light heavyweight title.

Mack is not the least bit concerned about fighting Judah, of Brooklyn’s famed Judah family, on his home turf. “I like big challenges, so the fact that he is so well known in Brooklyn gives me more incentive to win,” said Mack. “I’m glad the fight will be televised on ESPN 2 because I plan on having a knockout performance.”

Opening the telecast will be the enormously popular James Moore, 15-0 (10 KOS), a native of County Wicklow, Ireland, who fights out of Queens. He takes on Gabriel Rosado, 9-2 (6 KOS), of Philadelphia. In Rosado’s lone New York appearance, he avenged a loss to Joshua Onyango. Both of Rosado’s losses were by close decision.

Moore, a veteran of 314 amateur fights and the former captain of the Irish national amateur team that included John Duddy and Andy Lee, is coming off his biggest win to date, a 10 round decision over J.C. Candelo at Madison Square Garden.

“I am in fantastic shape right now and really looking forward to fighting on ESPN 2,” said Moore, who just returned from Sicily where he helped IBF junior welterweight champion Paul Malignaggi prepare for his May 24 title bout. “This is going to be my breakout year, so I plan on putting on a really good show on June 4.”

The Aviator Sports & Recreation Center is located on Flatbush Avenue, just south of the Belt Parkway, Exit 11S, Brooklyn, NY 11234.
