A Night Of Pain Serving - Lanardo Tyner vs. Vivian Harris
Chicago, Illinois (July 12 2011) – The CFC Promotions “Chicago Fight Night #2″ Main Event on July 15th 2011 is none other than welterweight title contender Lanardo “The Pain Server” Tyner (24-4 15KO’s) will be facing former WBA light welterweight champion “Vicious” Vivian Harris (29-6 19KO’s) for the USBO welterweight championship.
Tyner born and raised in Detroit, Michigan is looking for bigger fights after this scheduled bout with Harris. Tyner now managed by Wasfi Tolaymat and trained by Floyd Mayweather Sr knows that a victory against Vivian Harris can launch him into bigger paydays.
“I am happy to be back into Chicago, I love the fans of the Windy City. Chicago is a city with die hard sports fans and I am honored for them to welcome me in as an adopted son of the city” said Tyner.
Tyner who was last seen in Chicago on March 25th 2011 fighting fast rising prospect Adrian Granados to a draw is looking to showcase what he calls “The New and Improved” Lanardo Tyner. “I have been training hard, away from my family for two months I am ready to leave everything in the ring on July 15th.
The fight is a must win for Harris who was born in Georgetown, Guyana and now resides in Brooklyn, New York. Harris who recently been on the downside is looking to bounce back after his recent loss to current WBC welterweight champion “Vicious” Victor Ortiz. Harris knows a loss against Tyner can be more than just a minor set back; it can also mark an end to a great career.
The media is looking closely at this fight for a number of reasons as well; winner goes on to earn an IBO world title shot. Jason Ford of fight news was quoted earlier this week predicting this match to be the “Fight Of The Night”.
The Co-Main event will feature current WBA Pan African & ABU light welterweight champion “Tornado” Albert Mensah (23-3-1 10KO’s) facing Canadian star “Gorgeous” Andre Gorges (11-1 6KO’s) for the vacant IBF International Light Welterweight championship.
The Undercard will feature the return of Chicago favorites such as “Fearless” Fernando Hernandez, Antonio “Aztec God Of War” Canas, Eric “Loco” Estrada, Adrian Granados, Sergio Montes De Oca, Donatas Bondoravas and MMA title contender Boban Simic who will be making his long awaited pro boxing debut.
