Russell Brothers Weigh In For Tonight's Bouts In Philadelphia!

Two members of the Russell Family -- Antonio and Antuanne -- will be in action tonight at the Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Philadelphia, PA.

Antonio (8-0, six KO's) will be in a six-round contest against Cristian Renteria (7-5, six KO's) of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.  Antonio Russell last fought on May 20th and scored a third-round TKO over Jovany Fuentes at the MGM National Harbor Casino in Oxon Hill, MD.  Renteria is coming off a six-round unanimous decision loss to Tenochtitlan Neva on June 2 in Los Angeles, CA.

After making his pro debut on the May 20th card in Oxon Hill and scoring a first-round TKO over Josh Ross, Antuanne returns in a four-round contest against veteran Jesus Lule of Fort Myers, FL (11-23-1, two KO's).  Lule faces a Beltway Boxer for the second straight time, losing a six-round unanimous decision to Patrick Harris on August 12 at the Howard Theatre in Washington, DC.  Lule also has losses to locals Lamont Roach, Jr. and Dodie Boy Penalosa, Jr.

The bouts are part of an FS1 telecast that is scheduled to begin at 10 PM ET.  No word on whether either bout will be on the program.

Here are the weights:

Antonio Russell 117.8 vs Cristian Renteria 120.2

Antuanne Russell 138.5 vs Jesus Lule 139.7
