Memphis-TN - Prize Fight Promotions announced today of their return to the Fitz Casino & Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi on Saturday April 25th with a five bout fight card.
Historically, this boxing series “Fights at the Fitz” has been immensely popular with local fans, and every event is a sell out.
In the 8-round Cruiserweight main event, fan favorite Adam “Swamp Donkey” Richards (21-2, 14 KO) of Murfreesboro, TN goes up against Gustavo Enriquez (15-8, 12 KO) from Juarez, Mexico. This fight will be the first fight back for “Swamp Donkey” since his brutal slugfest between Chazz Witherspoon this past November on the Jermain Taylor and Jeff Lacy undercard held in Nashville, TN.
Also, scheduled on the card in a 6-round Super Middleweight bout is Farah Ennis (9-0, 4 KO) of Philadelphia, PA versus Brad Austin (8-6, 5 KO) from Johnson City, TN.
In an exciting 6-round junior middleweight bout, Shawn Porter (7-0, 6 KO) of Akron, OH faces tough veteran Sammy Sparkman (21-18, 10 KO) of Columbia, TN.
Also, on the card will be a 4-round heavyweight rematch between Bobby O’Bannon (3-2, 2 KO) of Mobile, AL and Rodrika Ray (2-0) of Jackson, TN. O’Bannon has revenge on the mind, suffering a controversial decision loss to Ray (2-0) in their first meet earlier this year.
The opening bout of the evening will be a 4-round welterweight clash between Jermall Charlo (2-0, 1 KO) of Houston, TX against rugged veteran Tyrone Wiggins of Covington, TN.
