Full Card Announced for Hitz Boxing at the Horseshoe This Saturday

 

Chicago's WBA Fedelatin Heavyweight Champion and WBA #14 rated "Fast" Fres Oquendo (34-7, 22 KOs) will face Philadelphia veteran Robert "Big Philly" Hawkins (23-19, 7 KOs) in a stay-busy 10-round main event of Hitz Boxing's latest "Fight Night at the Horseshoe" installment scheduled for this Saturday, August 18 at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana.

 

Oquendo was impressive taking out opponent Joey Abell last May. In addition to his current Fedelatin belt, the 39-year-old two-time heavyweight title challenger is a former NABF, NABA and USBA champion.

 

"We're looking to keep Fres active while we wait for another world-rated heavyweight to get in the ring with him," said his promoter, Bobby Hitz. "We offered this fight to several top guys with good money on the table and none of them would step up."
