It looks like Baltimore junior middleweight Ishmail "The Arsenal" Arvin will battle for the vacant USBO (United States Boxing Organization) junior middleweight title on Saturday, April 12 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, MS.
The opponent for Arvin (14-1-4, six KO's) will be Gulfport, MS resident Willie "Slik" Lee (15-5, 11 KO's). The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds. This will be a rematch of a March 11, 2004 bout at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD in which Arvin stopped Lee in the third round.
Arvin is winless in his last three bouts, registering tough six-round draws in his last two outings against Jose Angel Rodriguez and Jesse Orta. Since the loss to Arvin, Lee has won five of his last seven bouts, including a sixth-round stoppage of former contender Jason Papillion on December 7 in Biloxi. One of Lee's two losses during that stretch was a tenth-round TKO defeat against Sechew Powell.
The USBO is the North American arm of the International Boxing Organization (IBO).
