Live Professional Boxing will return to the 9,000-seat Crossroads Arena and Corinth, MS on Saturday July 07, 2007 after a two-year hiatus.

Lion Heart Boxing Productions, working in association with Ron Remus Productions and Oliver Miller, will promote an episode of its World Class Boxing series. Headlining the card and in the Main Event is current NABC Welterweight Champion, Former WBO Latin America Junior Welterweight Champion, Brazilian Light Welterweight Champion and former WBO Number Two Ranked Welterweight Antonio Mesquita (33-0) who will defend his NABC Welterweight crown against an opponent to be announced. In the co-main event, Knockout Artist Tyrone Brunson (18-0) will seek to break the record for consecutive first round knockouts by going for his 19 consecutive first round knockout against tough-as-nails veteran Sean Holley (8-21).

Mesquita sports an impressive winning record having won all thirty-three of his professional fights to date, twenty-seven of them by way of knockout, and is recognized as a top Welterweight contender. After racking up a record thirty wins, Mesquita took a year and half long leave-of-absence from Boxing to tend to a personal family matter in August 2004. Desiring to finish the job he started, Mesquita decided to stage a comeback and is determined to make his dream of becoming World Champion a reality. His first comeback fight took place on February 16, 2006 at the Ogden Eccles Conference Center where he KO'ed Luiz Da Silva, a long-time nemesis. A rejuvenated Mesquita has won all his fights since then by knockout.

Originally from Guaruja, Brazil, Antonio Mesquita now resides in St. George, Utah but trains out of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the world famous Johnny Toccos Gym. Mesquita moved to the United State to step up the level of both his training and competition after a year and a half layoff. In his last outing in the ring, a fight televised nationally on ESPN2, Mesquita steamrolled Santos Pakau in 6 rounds, dropping Pakau several times before the fight was mercifully stopped.

Tyrone "Young Gun" Brunson (18-0, 18 KO's) is the holder of the American record first round knockouts. With his fifteen win, on March 09, 2007, Brunson secured the United States of America and North American record for consecutive first round knockouts by eclipsing the record set by Young Otto (119-30) more than a hundred years earlier on October 6, 1905.

After bagging the American record, Brunson set his eyes on the world record. Three months later, on June 08, 2007, Brunson quietly made boxing history again with the amazing feat of securing eighteen first round knockouts in as many outings. With 18 consecutive first round knockouts, Brunson tied the world record for consecutive knockouts set by current WBA Super Featherweight Champion Edwin Valero of Venezeula on February 25, 2006. Brunson's eighteenth win and eighteenth first-round knockout, the win that gave him a share of the world record, came at the Sky City Casino in Auckland, New Zealand, when Brunson stopping veteran Jamie Waru with four seconds remaining in the opening stanza. Should Brunson win his fight on July 7, 2007 in the first round, he will be the first and only man to ever have scored 19 consecutive first round knockouts.

On the undercard will be New Orleans Heavyweight Prospect Frederic "Big Fred" Kassi (10-0), three time National Golden Gloves winner and former Olympian Natalie "Too Bad" Brown (4-0) and Columbus, Mississippi's Shannon Miller (21-37), all against opponents to be announced.
