EVANSVILLE, IN.- The hottest sports ticket in town just got hotter as two Tri-State giants, WABX-FM and Fast Eddy’s Burgers joined Octavius James/ One In A Million Inc. in association with Whirlpool Corp. Evansville for the highly anticipated Mar. 18th “Evansville Explosion,” a live, Las Vegas style pro boxing event at the Centre 715 Locust St. in Evansville, IN..
Already known for its great food and the best St. Patrick’s Day party around, Fast Eddy’s, 507 NW Riverside Dr., will host the official Explosion weigh-ins Fri., Mar. 17th at 6:30 p.m. And, the region’s number one radio station, WABX-FM, will be there live to bring the sounds and excitement of the event to its massive listening audience.
“We’ve received a lot of support from the people of Evansville and the Tri-State region, and with the help of great teams like WABX and Fast Eddy’s, we’re ready to really launch this exciting weekend,” said Octavius James CEO of One In A Million Inc.
The weigh-ins will be sports fans’ last chance before the “Explosion” to meet the fighters, including Evansville’s own hometown hero and main event fighter Kevin Payne 13-5-1 (6 KO’s), as he prepares for an internationally televised bout on HBO in April, if he gets an Explosion victory. Along with his winning ways in the ring, Payne is known for helping area police nab a thief who targeted a woman in a local Wal-Mart.
Henderson power puncher and up-and-comer Daniel “The Sandman” Maldonado 18-2 (12 KO’s) will also appear at the weigh-ins, as he prepares to pound his way to boxing glory, and IN.B.A. Lightweight Champion Johnny Novak 15-1 (6 KO’s) will be on hand with his title belts. Other featured fighters at the weigh-ins will include undefeated sensation Cruiserweight sensation Michael Parker 2-0 (2 KO’s)
Women warrior New Yorker Jill Emery 4-0 (2 KO’s) will face off for the first time at the weigh-ins, and the weigh-ins at Fast Eddy’s will introduce the always chiseled and dangerous Derrick “Superman” Findley 2-1 (2 KO’s) to fight fans.
