The_budweiser Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 PHILADELPHIA - In preparation for their afternoon fights on September 8th at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, three Philadelphia fighters participated in an open media workout at the James Shuler Memorial Boxing Gym in West Philly. Leading the way was two-time world cruiserweight champion Steve "USS" Cunningham, 24-4, 12 KOs, who will make his debut as a heavyweight on the September 8th card. Much attention has been paid to Cunningham's weight since his 10-round fight with Jason Gavern, 21-10-4, 10 KOs, was announced. Cunningham expects to fight at 208 pounds, and all eyes will be on him to see if he can make the adjustment to the heavyweight division and compete effectively against bigger opposition. Gavern should have at least a 20-pound weight advantage over Cunningham when the bell rings.

WelshDevilRob Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Its a decent first step for Cunningham into the division. With his many trips to Europe in the past. I can see him getting a shot at Wladimir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
