11:08:05 pm STEVE “USS” CUNNINGHAM READY TO SET SAIL ON BRISTOL, CT AND ESPN 2 FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS

Philadelphia (February 2, 2008)—This Friday night, IBF Cruiserweight champion Steve “USS” Cunningham will be the special in-studio guest on ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights.

10:54:50 pm Godfrey punches way to Germany for WBC Title Eliminator versus Kraj on March 8
PROVIDENCE (February 4, 2008) – Unbeaten NABF cruiserweight champion Matt “Too Smooth” Godfrey (16-0, 9 KOs), rated No. 1 by the World Boxing Council, travels to Germany to battle undefeated, No. 2 ranked Rudy Kraj (13-0, 10 KOs) on March 8 in a WBC title elimination bout determining champion David Haye’s mandatory challenger.
Matt Godfrey“Kraj won a Silver Medal in the 2000 Olympics and going overseas to fight him will be a big test,” the 27-year-old Godfrey said. “He’s very good. Kraj is a typical Eastern European fighter who does some things very well. The winner of this fight is going to be set-up nice in the WBC. I’m looking at it as a title fight.”
The WBC title eliminator potentially has additional implications because Haye, who also holds the WBA title belt, fights the same night as Godfrey-Kraj in a unification bout versus WBO champion Enzo Maccarinelli. A win by Haye reportedly will send him up to heavyweight, leaving the cruiserweight division wide open, and the Godfrey-Kraj winner possibly the new WBC champion or Interim title-holder.
