The November 7 fight in Hartford, Connecticut, between “Lightning” Harry Joe Yorgey, 22-0-1 with 10 knockouts, of Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, and Alfredo “Perro” Angulo, 16-1 with 13 knockouts, of Mexicali, B.C., Mexico, has been approved for the WBO interim junior middleweight world title. It is scheduled for 12 rounds.

HBO will televise the fight as the co-featured bout on its World Championship Boxing series. Banner Promotions will co-promote the Yorgey-Angulo bout with Gary Shaw Productions.

Banner Promotions president Art Pelullo said, “I’m very pleased that the WBO has approved this fight for its interim world title, and I want to thank WBO President Paco Valcarcel for giving Harry and Alfredo this opportunity. Both of them have worked hard and done all the right things to get themselves in this position, and deserve a shot at the title as much as any junior middleweight in the ring.”
