Russell Brothers Trek To Bakersfield, CA September 21!

The Undefeated Russell Brothers of Capitol Heights, MD return to action on Saturday, September 21st for bouts at the Rabobank Theater in Bakersfield, CA.

Bantamweight Antonio "Another" Russell will be in a 10-round bout against former world title contender David "Severo" Carmona of Mexico City, Mexico.  Russell (15-0, 11 KO's) comes off a 10-round unanimous decision win over Francisco Pedroza on July 13th in Minneapolis, MN.  The last bout for Carmona (21-6-5, nine KO's) took place in May of 2018 when he lost a contest for the WBA Super Flyweight championship by seventh-round stoppage in Fresno, CA.  Carmona could not have won the title anyway because he was overweight.  Carmona has also had bids for the WBO Super Flyweight title.

Super lightweight Antuanne "The Last" Russell will compete in an eight-round contest against Sebastian Diaz Maldonado of Aguascalientes, Mexico.  Russell kept his perfect record (10-0, 10 KO's) intact with a third-round TKO over Larry Ventus on the same July 13th card in Minneapolis.  Maldonado (16-4-1, 12 KO's) travels to the United States for the first time and returns to action for the first time since April of 2018 when he stopped the debuting Juan Daniel Pineda in Aguascalientes.

The two bouts may be televised on FS1.
