Chicago, Illinois (July 12 2011) - The Main Event on
July 15th 2011 is none other than welterweight title contender Lanardo “The
Pain Server” Tyner (24-4 15KO’s) will be facing former WBA light welterweight
champion “Vicious” Vivian Harris (29-6 19KO’s) for the USBO welterweight
championship.
Tyner born and raised in Detroit, Michigan is
looking for bigger fights after this scheduled bout with Harris. Tyner
now managed by Wasfi Tolaymat and trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr knows that a
victory against Vivian Harris can launch him into bigger paydays.
“I am happy to be back into Chicago, I love the fans of
the Windy City. Chicago is a city with die hard sports fans and I am
honored for them to welcome me in as an adopted son of the city” said Tyner.
Tyner who was last seen in Chicago on March 25th 2011
fighting fast rising prospect Adrian Granados to a draw is looking to showcase
what he calls “The New and Improved” Lanardo Tyner. “I have been training
hard, away from my family for two months I am ready to leave everything in the
ring on July 15th.
The fight is a must win for Harris who was born in
Georgetown, Guyana and now resides in Brooklyn, New York. Harris who
recently been on the downside is looking to bounce back after his recent loss
to current WBC welterweight champion “Vicious” Victor Ortiz. Harris knows
a loss against Tyner can be more than just a minor set back; it can also mark
an end to a great career.
The
media is looking closely at this fight for a number of reasons as well; winner
goes on to earn an IBO world title shot. Jason Ford of fight news was
quoted earlier this week predicting this match to be the “Fight Of The Night”.

& ABU light welterweight champion “Tornado” Albert Mensah (23-3-1 10KO’s) facing
Canadian star “Gorgeous” Andre Gorges (11-1 6KO’s) for the vacant IBF International Light Welterweight championship.
