SERGEY KOVALEV vs. CORNELIUS WHITE

  at

SANDS CASINO RESORT BETHLEHEM JUNE 14 

Bethlehem, PA--A virtual unknown less than 12 months ago, hard-hitting Sergey Kovalev is one fight away from challenging for the world light-heavyweight title.

Kovalev, of Chelyabinsk, Russia, takes on Cornelius White, of Houston, TX, in a scheduled 12-round elimination fight on Friday evening, June 14, at the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem. The winner becomes the No. 1 challenger for the IBF crown, currently held by Bernard Hopkins, of Philadelphia, PA.

The Kovalev-White contest is part of a triple header to be televised live as part of the NBC Sports Network Fight Night series. Other televised matches, set for 10 rounds, feature heavyweight Bryant Jennings, of Philadelphia, vs. Andrey Fedosov, of Shuya, Russia, and welterweight Ronald Cruz, of Bethlehem, vs. Ray Narh, of Brooklyn, NY.

Now living in Fort Lauderdale, FL, the 30-year-old Kovalev has been tearing through the 175-pound division in the last year. His 20-0-1 record includes 18 knockouts, including a three-round destruction of former world-title challenger Gabriel Campillo, of Spain, on Jan. 19 at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. That fight also was aired over the NBC Sports Network.

A pro since 2009, Kovalev will be making his third appearance at the Sands, where he previously knocked out Darnell Boone, of Youngstown, OH, and Lionel Thompson, of Buffalo, NY. The only non-win on Kovalev's record came when Grover Young, of Memphis, TN, was unable to continue due to an accidental foul in the second round of their 2011 fight at the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, CA.  

White, 31, is 21-1, 16 K0s, having lost only to Donovan George, of Chicago, IL, when he (White) boxed as a super middleweight for the only time in the last four years. Fifteen of White's 16 knockouts have come in the first three rounds.

In his last fight March 9 in Costa Mesa, CA, White earned an eight-round decision over Otis Griffin, of Sacramento, CA. Prior to that, on July 14, 2012, at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, NV, White won the IBF International Light-Heavyweight Title by scoring a 12-round decision over Dmitry Sukhotsky, of Barnaul, Russia.    

The Jennnings-Fedosov, Kovalev-White and Cruz-Narh fights top a seven-bout card at the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem. Doors open at 6:15pm ET. Tickets priced at $50 and $75 and $130 (luxury suites) can be purchased through the offices of Peltz Boxing (215-765-0922) and at all Ticketmaster outlets (800-745-3000). Tickets also are on sale at www.peltzboxing.com, www.SandsEventCenter.com, and www.Ticketmaster.com. In Bethlehem, tickets are available at Deja Brew, Inc., 101 West 4th Street (610-865-2739) and at Pronto Insurance Notary, 232 East 3rd Street (610-419-6790). NBC Sports Network will televise the Jennings-Fedosov, Kovalev-White and Cruz-Narh fights, beginning at 8 pm ET, Friday, June 14th. The card is promoted by Main Events and Peltz Boxing Promotions, Inc., in association with Goossen Tutor Promotions, Hitz Entertainment and Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem.
Highly touted and undefeated junior welterweight prospect Issouf Kinda makes his ESPN Friday Night Fights Debut

Presented by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing, ESPN Friday Night Fights will be broadcast LIVE starting at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.  Featured in the main event, world ranked junior middleweight Delvin Rodriguez will make his 16th appearance on the series, clashing with former world title challenger Freddy Hernandez.  

Sporting a record of 16-0-0 with six knockouts, the 25-year-old Kinda is a native of the West African country of Burkina Faso where he excelled as an amateur prior to moving to the United States.  

Now living in Bronx, New York, Kinda has received raves for his world-class boxing skills, continuously impressing fans in the New York City area.

Kinda kicked off his 2013 campaign in impressive fashion, stopping well-regarded Phoenix, Arizona prospect Javier Loya on FEBRUARY 23 at The Paramount in Huntington, New York.

'Kinda has continued to improve with every outing and the timing is perfect for him to fight for the first time on ESPN Friday Night Fights" said DeGuardia. "Knowing first hand what ESPN can do a for a fighter's career such as Delvin 's, it's exciting to have Issouf make his network debut, however Howard is a very confident tough prospect who also is looking to make the most of this opportunity." 

The 24-year-old Howard, 15-2-1 (7 KO's), returns to the ring following a third round stoppage over tough veteran Bayan Jargal on FEBRUARY 15 which was also broadcast on ESPN Friday Night Fights from the Mohegan Sun.
