Corley Scheduled To Battle Lundy February 10th In Philadelphia!

Another strong matchup involving a Beltway Boxer is slated to take place on Saturday, February 10th and this contest pits two strong veterans against one another.

Former WBO Super Lightweight champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley of Washington, DC is scheduled to take on former world title contender "Hammerin'" Hank Lundy of Philadelphia, PA at Philly's 2300 Arena.

The 43-year-old Corley (50-28-1, 28 KO's) continues to be an ageless wonder as he won two of his three bouts in 2017.  After losing a close 10-round unanimous decision to Jovanie Santiago on April 7th in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, Corley won a 10-round unanimous decision over former world champion Vivian Harris on May 20th in Raleigh, NC for the UBF All-Americas Welterweight championship.  Corley then traveled to Kingston, Jamaica and won an eight-round unanimous decision over Ramel Lewis on July 12th.

The 34-year-old Lundy (28-6-1, 14 KO's) has won two straight contests since suffering his last loss in a world title opportunity against Terence Crawford in February of 2016 in New York.  Lundy was knocked out in the fifth round challenging for Crawford's WBO Super Lightweight title.  Lundy bounced back and won a 12-round unanimous decision over John Delperdang in December of 2016 in Cincinnati, OH for the vacant UBF World Lightweight title.  In his only bout of 2017, Lundy notched a fifth-round TKO over Daniel Evangelista, Jr. on June 2 at the 2300 Arena.

BATB will keep you posted on the progress of this contest.
