"We spoke with [NABF representative] Joe Dwyer, and we're very excited at this proverbial big shot," said Wolak's manager, Ivan Edwards. "This is one of those things that we have been waiting for." The 29-year-old Wolak (28-1, 18 knockouts) and the 30-year-old Foreman (28-1, eight KOs) are part of a stacked pay per view event headlined by Mayorga (29-7-1, 22 KOs) of Managua, Nicaragua, and, Cotto (35-2, 28 KOs), of Puerto Rico, that will also highlight the return from a 14-month layoff of former world champion female boxer, Christy Martin (49-5-3, 31 KOs). Also expected on the card, which is being promoted by the 79-year-old duo of Top Rank Promotions' CEO, Bob Arum, and, Don King, is Gary Shaw-promoted, lightweight (135 pounds) contender, Lenny Zappavigna (25-0, 17 KOs) of Australia pursuing his third consecutive stoppage and his first world title against IBF belt-holder Miguel Vazquez (27-3, 12 KOs).
