Former WBO Junior Welterweight champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley has been added to the rescheduled boxing card at the Meadowlands Sheraton Hotel in East Rutherford, NJ.
Corley (32-10-1, 18 KO's) is slated to battle in a 10-round bout against an opponent to be determined. Corley is looking to turn his fortunes around after a rough 2008 in which he lost a 12-round unanimous decision to highly-touted prospect Devon Alexander and two eight-round unanimous decisions to Ashley Theophane and, in a rematch, to former WBO champ Randall Bailey. Corley ended the year on a good note with a first-round knockout over Donnell Logan on December 13.
I'm looking for 2009 to be one of the best years of my career," said Corley in a press release. "I want to fight 6 or 7 times and then win another world title. It will be a great opportunity for me to fight on the East Coast again. I'm looking to put on an exciting fight for the fans. I will do my best to score a knockout."
Two other Beltway Boxers were slated to be on this card when it was originally scheduled in mid-January: Heavyweights "The Big Ticket" Dwayne McRae of Laurel, MD and Hannibal Otey of Baltimore. No official word on whether they will still be on the card.
GOOD LUCK CHOP I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
