According to Fightnews.com, the September 17 boxing card at the Coushatta Casino Resort in Kinder, LA (located in southwestern Louisiana and not affected by Hurricane Katrina) will go on as planned, but without former three-time WBA middleweight champ and DC native William Joppy. Joppy suffered an injury that will knock him off the card.
The main event at "Knockouts at Coushatta IX" will now feature another DC native --flamboyant former WBO jr welterweight champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley.
"We are fortunate to have secured "Chop Chop" Corley as our new main event fighter—he's fast, he's flashy, and he fights like a tiger in the ring. It's going to be a super exciting show," said Nora Popillion, the casino's events & promotions manager.
The last time Joppy and Corley were in a ring was when they appeared on a card in Charleston, South Carolina on July 28. Both men posted easy knockout victories.
