All three of the Russell Brothers of Capitol Heights, MD are slated to be in action on Saturday, February 8th on a card at the PPL Center in Allentown, PA.

In the main event, WBC Featherweight champion "Mr." Gary Russell, Jr. will defend his title against undefeated IBO titleholder Tugstsogt "King Tug" Nyambayar of Los Angeles, CA by way of Mongolia.  Russell (30-1, 18 KO's) last fought on May 18th and registered a fifth-round TKO over Kiko Martinez on May 18th in Brooklyn, NY.  Nyambayar (11-0, nine KO's) comes off his win of the vacant IBO Featherweight title, taking a 12-round unanimous decision over Claudio Marrero in January of 2019, also in Brooklyn.  This bout will headline a Showtime telecast.

On the undercard, undefeated super lightweight Antuanne "The Last" Russell will risk his perfect record (12-0, 12 KO's) against Jose Marrufo of Phoenix, AZ by way of Mexico.  Russell, who has yet to go past four rounds, scored a second-round TKO over Juan Huertas in his last outing on November 2nd in Oxon Hill, MD.  Marrufo (12-9-2, one KO) comes off an eight-round majority decision loss to Willie Shaw on August 24th in San Mateo, CA.

Also, undefeated bantamweight Antonio "Another" Russell (16-0, 12 KO's) is also slated to be on the card in a scheduled 10-round contest against an opponent to be determined.  Russell scored a crushing first-round TKO over Samuel Gutierrez on the November 2nd card in Oxon Hill, MD.

There is another Beltway Boxer slated for this card.  Bowie, MD welterweight Marlon "The Machine" Bolen will participate in his first scheduled six-round bout against Osmel Mayorga of Miami, FL by way of Nicaragua.  Bolen (3-0, two KO's) comes off a second-round stoppage of Kevin Womack, Jr. on December 7th in Sterling, VA.  Mayorga (2-0, one KO) last fought on May 24th and won a four-round unanimous decision over Jack Grady in Miami.
