Former three-time WBA Middleweight champion William Joppy will face Jonathan "Native Sensation" Corn of Menominee Territory, WI in a 10-round bout on the undercard of the IBF Middleweight title matchup between champion Roman Karmazin and challenger and former undisputed welterweight champ Cory Spinks July 8 at the Saavis Center in St. Louis, MO.
Joppy (36-4-1, 27 KO's) will be battling as a super middleweight for the second time of his career. This will be Joppy's first appearance since a knockout win in January.
Corn (44-12-2, 23 KO's) once fought for the WBO Middleweight title, losing to then-champion Armand Krajnc by second-round KO in March 2000. Recently, Corn has fallen on tough times, going winless in his last eight bouts with seven losses and a draw that came in his last contest with Earl Jackson on May 25 in Denver, CO.
As a point of info, the Joppy-Corn bout will be part of an incredible Don King card that will also include a matchup for the vacant IBF Cruiserweight championship between Steve Cunningham and Guillermo Jones and 10-round bouts featuring former WBA and WBC Cruiserweight champ Jean-Marc Mormeck,former WBA Middleweight titleholder Maselino Masoe and former WBO welterweight titlist Daniel Santos.
