Karl Dargan is deep in training for his January 30 showdown with Canada’s Tony Luis. The bout headlines at Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Conn. and airs live on ESPN2’s Friday Night Fight series.
The bout marks the first show on the network for promoter Main Events in nearly four years, when Joel Julio defeated Agnes Adjaho in May ‘11. The New Jersey-based establishment had previously served as the exclusive provider of boxing content for NBC Sports Network’s Fight Night series before the deal expired at the end of 2014.
Dargan (17-0, 9KOs) became a familiar face on the Fight Night circuit after signing with Main Events in 2013. The unbeaten Philly prospect has appeared on both NBC Sports Network and its parent station NBC, with his most recent performance coming on the free TV network with 5th round knockout of Angino Perez last September, also at Foxwoods Resort.
“We're very excited to be working with ESPN and with Foxwoods again,” said promoter Kathy Duva. “Dargan had a big 2014 and we expect 2015 to be even bigger. With this fight, he'll have another opportunity to pick up a regional title and move up in the lightweight rankings, but it won't be easy.” [Click Here To Read More]
