The Beltway area's 2010 Co-Prospect of the Year, "Mr." Gary Russell, Jr. , returns to action this Friday night, January 28, when he takes on Feider Viloria of Colombia at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in San Diego, CA. The eight-round bout will open this Friday's Solo Boxeo telecast on the Telefutura Network at 11:30 PM ET.

Russell (13-0, nine KO's) has scored knockouts in seven of his last eight bouts. Russell's last outing was a six-round unanimous decision win over Guadalupe DeLeon on October 28 in Los Angeles. This will be Russell's first scheduled eight-round contest.
