Four days later on July 23 Prize Fight will present “Showdown At The Shamrock” from Fitzgeralds Hotel & Casino in Tunica, MS. “Showdown At The Shamrock” will be Adam Hubinger’s 10-0 (10 KO’s) first showing as a main event fighter as he duels Billy Thompson in a Super Middleweight affair. “Showdown At The Shamrock” will also feature Southaven, MS’s Christy Nickel and Adam Richards from Murfreesboro, TN. “Showdown At The Shamrock” will be televised locally on UPN 30 the following Saturday on tape delay.

The third card will take place July 26 at Handy Park off Beale Street in downtown Memphis, TN. The card at Handy Park will be called “Throw Down In M-Town” and will showcase the return of former WBO Super Flyweight Champion Ivan “Choco” Hernandez 21-1-1 (16 KO’s) from Ensanada, MX.
