LAS VEGAS, NV (October 5,
2012) Sterling Promotions, led by
longtime Las Vegas based boxing promoter Sterling
McPherson presents “Sterling Night of Fights” on Saturday,
NOVEMBER 17 at the world-famous Edgewater
Casino Resort in Laughlin, Nevada.
“We’re

providing the best in world class professional boxing” said McPherson, also
announcing that this event will be broadcast LIVE on ESPN International.

Headlining
the debut “Sterling Night of Fights” is a
sensational ten round lightweight clash between highly touted, hard hitting,
undefeated prospect Joel Diaz,
11-0-0 (10KO’s) of Palmdale, CA and Nigerian master Robert “Super” Osiobe, 13-5-0 (6KO’s).
Just
20-years-old, Diaz has turned heads across the country with his stunning
knockouts over the last two years. Training with the highly regarded Abel Sanchez in Big Bear, CA, the busy
Diaz will be fighting for the sixth time in 2012.
A
native of Nigeria, now based in the fight capital of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada, Osiobe is
coming off his career best victory, winning a hard fought ten round battle over Jose Hernandez on AUGUST 18 in Tacoma,
WA.
Said
McPherson, “This is just the type of battle that fans should come to expect
with this series. Diaz is risking his undefeated record against a very crafty,
much more experienced veteran in Osiobe, the clash of styles is a fight fan’s
dream.”
Featured
in the co-main event is outstanding Youngstown, Ohio lightweight prospect Chris Hazimihalis, hailing from the
same city as numerous former world champions including Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini and Kelly
“The Ghost” Pavlik.
With
an undefeated record of 9-0-0 with seven stoppages, Hazimihalis will face off
against an opponent to be announced in a scheduled eight rounder.
In a
special feature attraction women’s bout, Las Vegas’ attractive newcomer Marcela Cornejo, 1-0-0 (1KO), will
enter the ring in a scheduled four rounder with an opponent to be announced
shortly.
Four
other excellent bouts have also been announced for “Sterling
Night of Fights.”
Junior

artist, Luis “EL Animal” Cerda,
6-0-0 (6KO’s) of Santiago de Chile, Chile battles Cameron Krael, 2-3-0 (2KO’s) of Las Vegas.
Just
21 years old, this will be Cerda’s fight bout in the United States while the
tough as nails 20-year-old Krael will be fighting for the sixth time in 2012.
Also
in the junior welterweight division, tough Mexican prospect Javier Loya, 7-1-0 (6KO’s) battles Edgar Zubia, 3-1-0 (1KO) of Hobbs, New
Mexico in a six round bout.

before being stopped by uber prospect Jose
Benavidez in the fourth round in an outstanding scrap on AUGUST 4 in Las
Vegas.
