NEW YORK (November 7, 2008) – NABA light middleweight champion “Mean” Joe Greene has been added to the star-studded “The Grande Event” card, promoted by Cedric Kushner’s Gotham Boxing, November 21 at the famed Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan. Unbeaten middleweight (heading to light middleweight) “Ireland’s” John Duddy (25-0, 17 KOs), fighting out Queens (NY) by way of Derry, Northern Ireland, headlines against veteran Sam “The Punching Policeman” Hill (17-9-1, 10 KOs). Duddy is rated No. 2 by the World Boxing Organization, No. 4 by the World Boxing Council, and No. 7 by the International Boxing Federation..
Greene (20-0), rated No. 3 by the WBA and No. 4 by the WBO, will fight an opponent to be determined in an eight-round, non-title fight.
“It always feels good to fight at home in front of my family, friends and fans,” Greene said. “I’m going to put on a real good show. I’m positioning myself to fight the upper rated junior middleweights in 2009, especially (James) Kirkland. I’d welcome the opportunity to fight John Duddy, who is a nice, classy guy who I respect a lot. To fight him in the big arena at Madison Square Garden would be unbelievable.”
Polish power puncher Pawel “Raging Bull” Wolak (22-1, 15 KOs) faces upset-minded Christian Lloyd Joseph (12-7-3, 5 KOs) in the co-feature. Wolak (22-1, 15 KOs), a graduate of Berkley College of Manhattan with a degree in business, is the Polish International light middleweight champion.
