Contrary to a press release being issued last week, both Sampson Lewkowicz and the advisor of featherweight contender Jesus Marcelo Cuellar (22-1, 18 KOs) have denied reaching a agreement for an exclusive promotional contract. Cuellar returns on August 23rd when he takes on the Dominican Republic's Claudio Marrero (14-0, 11 KOs) in a 12-round battle for the Interim WBA World Featherweight Championship at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York, and live on ESPN Friday Night Fights.

There appears to have been some miscommunication between Sampson and Cuellar's advisor, Sebastian Contursi, and a press release was issued before a deal was finalized.
