CASTILLO – HARRIS ADDED AS NEW MAIN EVENT ON FRIDAY JUNE 6TH AT THE LEGENDARY BLUE HORIZON

For Immediate Release

12 round cruiserweight affair added to an already packed night of boxing

PHILADELPHIA (May 15, 2008)—In what was already a big night of boxing just got even bigger as a twelve round cruiserweight battle between Elieser Castillo & Adam Harris has been added to a great night of boxing at The Legendary Blue Horizon in Philadelphia.

Castillo of Miami via Havana, Cuba has been a mainstay in the Heavyweight division as he has fought and defeated some top-ranked contenders over his twelve year career.

Castillo has a record of 30-6-2 with seventeen knockouts. He holds victories over the first man to defeat Wladimir Klitschko in Ross Purrity, undefeated Andre Purlette (32-0), former U.S. Olympian Lawrence Clay-Bey (18-1) & former IBF Cruiserweight champion Uriah Grant, who Castillo starched in one round.

Castillo has never been knocked out despite being in the ring with a whose-who of the Heavyweight division. He has gone the distance with former IBF Heavyweuight champion Chris Byrd, former WBO Heavyweight title challenger Alexander Zolkin for which Castillo battled to a disputed draw, as well as dropping razor thin majority decision to former WBC Heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon and former IBF world title challenger DaVarryl Williamson.

In a way Castillo can avenge the loss to Witherspoon as the former WBC champ is one of Harris’ trainers.

Castillo is coming off a sixth round stoppage over Lenzie Morgan this past February 21st in Miami

A win over Castillo would catapult the thirty-three year old Harris.

Harris, who now resides in Philadelphia is a native of Worcester, Massachusetts and has a record of 10-0 with seven knockouts.

Harris has been slowly stepping up the competition and Castillo presents the biggest challenge by far for Harris.

Harris is coming off a six round majority decision over Garry Campbell on November 2nd at The Legendary Blue Horizon.

The co-feature will be a featherweight tussle between Jules Blackwell (7-0-2, 2 KO’s) of Phoenixville, Pa and Tyrell Samuel (9-2, 5 KO’s) of Philadelphia.

Steve Upsher (16-1-1, 4 KO’s) takes on Jaime Morales (4-7, 2 KO’s) in a battle of Jr. Welterweights from Philadelphia scheduled for six rounds.

Gerald Smith (2-0, 1 KO) of Philadelphia will take on Ronnie Boyd (5-3, 2 KO’s) of Washington, DC in a four round Super Featherweight bout.
