Hitz Boxing will be hosting a very special night of boxing on Saturday, May 29 at the lavish Venue in the Horseshoe Casino, in Hammond, Indiana, as Chicago's own former WBC Light Heavyweight Champion Montell Griffin (49-8, 30 KOs) will go for his historic 50th victory against former world title challenger Ross "The Boss" Thompson (27-14-2, 14 KOs). From a well-known Chicago fight family, Griffin handed Roy Jones Jr. his first loss and twice defeated James Toney. This night of world-class boxing will be special not only because of Griffin's 50th victory, but it will also likely be the final fight of his amazing career. The high-class atmosphere and luxurious surroundings the Horseshoe has to offer make this a Las Vegas-style night of boxing you don't have to get on a plane to enjoy. The Horseshoe is just 20 minutes outside of Chicago and is the best place to see boxing in the area, bar none. The Horseshoe Casino has an intimate, comfortable venue with luxurious seats, a spectacular gaming area, free parking, exquisite food and all the amenities, plus, a full-night of world-class boxing for reasonable ticket prices. The "Quest for 50" undercard is loaded with a long list of comebacking veterans and up-and-coming young contenders from the Chicago area. Scheduled to appear in separate bouts are middleweight Henry "Western Warrior" Coyle (10-2, 9 KOs) from Chicago via Ireland. Coyle comes from a fighting family and was an All Army champ, who had over 300 amateur fights. Also slated for battle are Chicago welterweight Achour Esho (7-0, 5 KOs); power punching Chicago-based cruiserweight and former UFC fighter Terry Martin (4-0, 4 KOs); Chicago middleweight Mike Kurzeja (3-0, 3 KOs); Chicago super middleweight Ninos Abraham (4-0, 1 KO) and Chicago light welterweight Russell Fiore (3-0, 3 KOs). In addition, comebacking Chicago-based former bantamweight and featherweight contender John Lewus (23-4, 19 KOs) will have his second fight in 12 years; and Rafael Murphy, son of former cruiserweight contender Kenny Murphy and nephew of former IBF Cruiserweight Champion Leroy Murphy, will make his professional debut. "Quest for 50" tickets are on sale now, starting at a fan appreciation price of $10. For more information, visit www.hitzboxing.com, or VIEW THE EVENT FLIER HERE.
