Comments Thread For: Ossie Duran Agrees To Face Truax on ESPN FNF, 1/3

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Veteran middleweight Ossie Duran has agreed on short notice to face Caleb Truax in a televised Jan. 3 fight in Minneapolis.

Truax was scheduled to fight Philadelphia’s Derek Ennis (23-4-1, 13 KOs), but Ennis withdrew from the 10-round bout for undisclosed reasons. The 10-rounder between Duran (28-11-2, 11 KOs) and Truax (23-1-1, 14 KOs), of nearby Osseo, Minn., will be broadcast by ESPN2 as the opener of a telecast from Target Center that’ll mark the start of the 17th season of “Friday Night Fights.”

Looking forward to a great 2014 in boxing. 2013 was okay for HBO and great for Showtime. I hope ESPN picks it up in 2014
