DC-based super featherweight Daniel "The Prophet" Attah will battle for the vacant NABF Super Featherweight title on Friday, September 5 at the Isleta Resort and Casino in Albuquerque, NM.
The Nigerian-born Attah (24-4-1, eight KO's) will take on undefeated Urbano Antillion of Maywood, CA (23-0, 16 KO's) in a nationally-televised (Telefutura) matchup.
Attah has not fought since losing by ninth-round TKO to Mario Santiago in Ponce, Puerto Rico on March 10, 2007. During his career, the 31-year-old Attah has gone the distance with a number of the sport's recent stars including former world champion Acelino Freitas and current IBF/WBA/WBO Lightweight champion Nate Campbell. Antillon, meanwhile, has won his last six bouts by knockout.

Why is he coming back?
Because he want to>What you do to be called the boxing bible?
I'm on a mission...
Attah can still fight. There should be no argument here. let that man make his money.
But his opponent, Urbano Antillon, is an ass-kicker on a tear!
Ok, I'll rephrase my question... "Why is he coming back against a total ass-kicker and who's the masochist who got Attah this "comeback" fight?
BoxBible,
You know the answer to that one. Completely unattached fighter in Attah. Good record, no power, former world title challenger. Still keeping hope alive that he could beat one of these guys and get right back in the mix. Not going to happen, we all know it. But the man has got to take his shot.
Good luck Attah... :^|
