Jake Giuriceo To Fight At Mountaineer On April 28
8-Time World Champion Roy Jones Jr. in association with TNT Promotions Presents “Live Championship Boxing from The Harv at Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort” on Saturday April 28th. A Double Feature is planned for the evening’s headliners when Youngstown, OH’s Jake “The Bull” Giuriceo (15W-0L-1D, 3KO) battles former WBC Latino Super Lightweight Champion Juan “Chago” Santiago (14W-8L-1D, 8KO) and power punching sensation Joel Diaz Jr. (8W-0L, 7KO) takes on Russian native Georgi Kevlishvili (10W-3L, 3KO).
Giuriceo is looking to fight his way into the world rankings when stepping in with the rugged Santiago, a proven contender with multiple national television appearances. Diaz Jr. gained national recognition earlier this year after rising from the canvas to score a stunning TKO victory over previously undefeated Guy Robb televised on Showtime.
Kevlishvili is coming off of a Showtime appearance himself dropping a hard fought split decision to unbeaten Casey Ramos. Kevlishvili’s three losses were to opponents who had a combined record of 34W-0L at the time he fought them.
This blockbuster event will include a full night of exciting action and entertainment. In store are matchups involving fighters such as IBC Continental Heavyweight Champion Jason “Iron Man” Bergman, Super Middleweight “Big Chief” Morgan Fitch, Light Heavyweight Jaque “Lights Out” Lutz, Welterweight Billy “The Boilermaker” Hutchinson, and the special introduction of Cruiserweight Josh “The Handsome Hitman” Himes, Beaver County, PA’s New Face of Boxing, and more.
