He has an ESPN2 co-feature bout coming up on Wednesday night but plans are already being made for undefeated and rising middleweight contender Peter Quillin to headline the August 1 ShoBox card at a site to be announced.

There is no opponent yet for Quillin (18-0, 14), who takes on Dionisio Miranda at the Hard Rock in New York City on Wednesday.

According to promoter Cedric Kushner, the site should be ready for an announcement by the middle of next week and the co-feature will be a ten round lightweight bout featuring undefeated Jorge Teron, who will also be taking on an opponent to be announced. Teron is 20-0-1 (13).

Having lost out on a crack at former IBF super middleweight titlist Jeff Lacy late last week when Zab Judah lost his bout with a shower door, Enrique Ornelas has moved on and will headline the July 4 Telefutura card at the Dodge Theatre in Hidalgo, Texas against an opponent to be announced.

Ornelas is currently the NABF middleweight titlist and has a record of 27-4 (17).

The August 2 HBO card that is being headlined by the IBF welterweight bout between top rated Joshua Clottey and Judah will not be landing at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, according to officials at the casino.

“We could have had it, but we had to pass it on for various reasons,” a buddy of mine told me on Saturday night.

Unbeaten Hartford heavyweight Tony Grano (13-0-1, 11) faces the toughest opponent of his career on Friday night when he takes on Leroy Childs (13-1, 12) in an eight round bout at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford.

“Childs can really hurt people,” promoter Jimmy Burchfield said in a press release. “This will be Tony’s toughest fight of his career and you have to give him and his team a lot of credit for accepting the challenge to fight Childs. Team Grano wants to make an impact in the heavyweight division, starting with his June 13th fight against Childs. What better way to do it than fighting a very tough opponent at home in front of his family, friends and fans? I know they can’t help him in the ring, but Tony will take care of that himself.”

The main event on the card is a WBC Youth featherweight title fight between Matt Remillard (11-0, 7) and Jose Magallon.

The card will be aired via tape delay on Saturday night at 8:00pm EST on CN8, The Comcast Network.

Thursday night, FoxSports’ ‘Best Damn Championship Fight Night’ invades Mohegan Sun Arena with an all-women’s fight card that is being headlined by a super bantamweight world title fight between Lisa Brown and Alicia Ashley.

Alicia was on hand on Saturday night for the Vernon Forrest-Sergio Mora card to hype the show.

“It’s a big event, at a big venue and it’s live on TV,” Ashley said when commenting on the importance of the fight. “It’s an all female card and fans won’t be disappointed. We’re gonna make boxing look good.”

Asked about her plan of attack for the 14-3-3 (4) Brown, Ashley didn’t hesitate to give away her game plan.

“She’s a very strong fighter but she’s slower than I am. I am gonna showcase my skills and make her look bad. I’m 40 years old but I’m not slowing down at all. I feel better now than ever before. I’ll take on anyone in my path and Lisa Brown is next.”

And finally, congratulations to Showtime’s Gordon Hall who easily handled DiBella Entertainment’s VP of Boxing Operations Carl ‘Pink Shirt’ Moretti on a Connecticut golf course Saturday morning.

Sources close to the situation have informed me that Hall was angered over Moretti’s insistence of playing on a public course and had to lay the lumber to him.

For his part, Moretti could only issue poor excuses about the wind and the lack of water available on the course.
