Super Bouts punching in with big show in Haikou
Some of China's best young boxers will share the Lunar New Year spotlight with world champions when Haikou, capital city of Hainan province, hosts Super Bouts on Feb 2.
Presented by the Mission Hills Group and co-promoted by Shanghai-based SECA and Top Rank from the US, the multi-bout card will feature titleholders from pro boxing's four major sanctioning organizations: WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO.
In the 12-round main event, WBC and WBA super lightweight champ Jose Carlos Ramirez of the US (25-0, 17 KO) will defend his titles against Viktor Postol (31-2, 12 KO) of Ukraine, with US broadcaster ESPN airing the bout live as a prelude to the telecast of the National Football League's Super Bowl championship.
